I want the GWL to be a proper package one can install, with
documentation and all that. Installing it as a channel doesn’t have the
same feel. It would be compiled afresh on every update and that seems
wrong to me.
Channels are primarily for extending the package collection, not to
provide new Guix commands.
While the GWL does depend on Guix as a library it does not directly
depend on the Guix package collection. We want that to be whatever the
user happens to use. I feel that maybe there really ought to be a
Guix library that’s separate from the package collection…
Don’t know.
