This is my first git email patch, so pardon any mistakes.
Rivercarro is a simple package which adds additional ways to generate layouts for the river wayland compositor.
This version, 0.2.1, is not the newest version, it is about 9 months old. The newest version, 0.3.0, requires zig 0.11 to build, but the newest version of zig packaged for guix is 0.10. I would have updated zig mysmelf first, but the move from zig 0.10 -> 0.11 is rather complicated. It's unlikely anyone will update zig for guix in the near future. I was going to package rivercarro before then at least for myself, so I figured I'd do the checks and submit it.
It builds reproducibly and without error on my machine (x86_64). I also use it daily and have encountered no issues.
