Re: Help packaging R Quarto Cli

[Sébastien Rey-Coyrehourcq]

Hi,

I continue the packaging using guix import crate, this is a slow process, but 
everything goes well at this time.

My file deno.scm contain 6000 line, with all packages imported, this is a 
problem because i need to remove duplicate.
The best way was probably to export all `(define public method … )`  into a 
folder with corresponding library.scm.

I need to create a module by package do you thing ? and after that import all 
the package using `use-modules` ?

Best
