Anyone interested in getting involved with the Guix Data Service?

[Christopher Baines]

Hey,

In summary, if you're interested in getting involved in the development
of the Guix Data Service, or interested in using the data, please let me
know!

This is a small update following on from [1].

1: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-09/msg00104.html

The Guix Data Service stores data about GNU Guix, and provides this
through a web interface. It's written in Guile, and uses a PostgreSQL
database.

I've been looking at documenting the local development process to allow
for an Outreachy project to improve internationalisation support [2]. If
anyone is interested in testing the documentation here [3] that would be
great, please just email me with any issues you come across!

3: http://data.guix.gnu.org/README

Since my last email to the list:

 - The patches for the Guix package and service definition have been
   merged in to master

 - I've improved the deployment to milano-guix-1 so the service is now
   running at http://data.guix.gnu.org/

 - There are dumps of the database available at
   http://data.guix.gnu.org/dumps/ to aid with local development

 - The repository now sits on Savannah at
   http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/data-service.git/

 - There's a list of ideas I have for the Guix Data Service in the
   README: http://data.guix.gnu.org/README

I've also begun working on showing the history of packages [4], and this
should be available once I do the next deployment.

Chris
