Hello, Emacs-Guix (Emacs interface for GNU Guix) version 0.3.4 has been
released. It may be installed with "guix package -i emacs-guix".
The main new features are:
1. "M-x guix-hash": it prompts for a file, calculates its hash and puts
it into kill-ring (i.e., you can insert it with "C-y"). If it is
called on a directory, it ignores VCS files (like "guix hash
--recursive --exclude-vcs"). Also it supports dired-mode. Thanks
to
ng0 for the idea of this command!
2. "M-x guix-derivation-mode": this major mode makes Guix derivations
more human readable by indenting them and by making buttons from the
store file names. It is enabled automatically in "/gnu/store/….drv"
files. Many thanks to Oleg Pykhalov for inventing and implementing
this feature!
3. As you probably know there are many single-line Guile files in the
store, for example:
/gnu/store/…-shepherd.conf
/gnu/store/…-activate-service
/var/guix/profiles/system/boot
Similarly to the derivation files, the above files are not human
readable as they are one-liners. Now (I mean with Emacs-Guix
0.3.4),
whenever you open such a file, it will be re-indented (its buffer,
not the file itself!) and scheme-mode will be enabled there.
4. "M-x guix-superseded-packages": well, it just displays a list of
superseded packages.
Happy Guix Year :-)
