Hi,

I see the QA is marked as failed but build statuses passed for 4/6 architectures
Is there anything I need to  fix in the package?

Regards,
Oleg

If it's not *supposed* to build on those architectures, you can add a
``supported-systems'' field to the package, which will block the builds
for those archs on the CI, I think.

I passed it through ‘guix style’ and changed the license to ‘gpl3’
because source headers specify “v3”, without the “or any later version”
wording.

According to <https://qa.guix.gnu.org/issue/59323> it’s failing on
aarch64-linux and succeeds everywhere else; could you investigate why as
the next step and report it upstream?

Applied, thanks!

Ludo’.

BTW, you might want to consider officially adding an “astronomy” team in
etc/teams.scm.in, with you as its first honorable member.  WDYT?

Hi Ludo,

It's a great proposal :)!

I try my best too promote Guix in astronomy software communities by
mentioning in
issues, but I'm not an Astronomer or related to any research...

SunPy project will mention Guix in next documentation update
https://github.com/sunpy/sunpy/issues/6634

My aim to migrate Debian Astro package stack to Guix and start packaging
journey for Julia packages as Julia become very popular in big data researches.

Regards,
Oleg

Note that being on a team means you’re knowledgeable about packages that
fall in the team’s scope, that you’re interested in contributing to
their maintenance, and that you’re willing to help other contributors in
this area.  You don’t have to be a professional astronomer to do that.  :-)

Nice!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
