Recent change -> 0.10.2 will be out soon™.


For the collaborative Gentoo overlay I share work with, many packages
I contributed either originate there or got their first year of practice
and debugging there and when I started to contribute to Guix, they
started moving into Guix master.
However we have some packages which can not make it into guix master in
their (current) form (one example: powwow. unaltered it came into Guix,
but we still patch it for Gentoo. Best case scenario would be to patch
it upstream). I am testing for the best way to transition the packages
which do not fit into Guix master to a form which does not depend on
maintaining another Guix checkout (too many wip packages on my side, and
it must mean low maintenance costs).

This is what I mean with out-of-tree.

Maybe, maybe not. I'll see that I append a revision-less patch later
today. Builds does not always mean "runs".

And it still requires (for GuixSD) the service for best experience. I'm
slow with that.
