About

This channel was setup to fix some python packages etc in Guix, and can hopefully be added (by also modifiying some packages) to guix master in the future. The main point is to support both the jupyter package (as in successfully running the jupyter-notebook command) and the alpha nbdev-org-babel package.

Setup & Installation

Add this to your ~/.config/guix/channels.scm:

(list (channel
       (name 'guix)
       (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git")
       ;; 1 commit before the change for python-prompt-toolkit etc which breaks the jupyter package
       (commit  "bcbd63407e933ce04aef72757387a0bacdb07e77")
       ;;(branch  "master")
       )
      (channel
       (name 'my-guix-packages)
       (url "https://github.com/methuselah-0/my-guix-packages.git")
       )
      )

Run guix pull to update to those channel commits. The guix channel is pinned to a commit that is right before a commit that breaks jupyter etc (32ba87c14fd5e5b54d95211cd9a159d568ce7c67), and the python packages in this channels are modified to work with that specific commit. You may want to set my-guix-packages channel to commit 3639aad52d642844910fdfdc80c6db16798048b4 as well. And finally, you may want to specify the commit cc23925f96a02b53aa5c9216e566c2dbb0b0c204 for the bash-coding-utils channel dependency in the .guix-channel file in this repo to be sure that everything is set to exactly the setup in which these packages were tested to work.
