* Adding new packages
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Package recipes in Guix look like this:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
|
|
||||||
(package
|
|
||||||
(name "nettle")
|
|
||||||
(version "2.5")
|
|
||||||
(source
|
|
||||||
(origin
|
|
||||||
(method url-fetch)
|
|
||||||
(uri (string-append "mirror://gnu/nettle/nettle-"
|
|
||||||
version ".tar.gz"))
|
|
||||||
(sha256
|
|
||||||
(base32
|
|
||||||
"0wicr7amx01l03rm0pzgr1qvw3f9blaw17vjsy1301dh13ll58aa"))))
|
|
||||||
(build-system gnu-build-system)
|
|
||||||
(inputs `(("m4" ,m4)))
|
|
||||||
(propagated-inputs `(("gmp" ,gmp)))
|
|
||||||
(home-page
|
|
||||||
"http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/")
|
|
||||||
(synopsis "GNU Nettle, a cryptographic library")
|
|
||||||
(description
|
|
||||||
"Nettle is a cryptographic library...")
|
|
||||||
(license gpl2+))
|
|
||||||
#+END_SRC
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Such a recipe can be written by hand, and then tested by running
|
|
||||||
‘./pre-inst-env guix build nettle’.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When writing the recipe, the base32-encoded SHA256 hash of the source
|
|
||||||
code tarball, which can be seen in the example above, can be obtained by
|
|
||||||
running:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
guix download http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/nettle/nettle-2.5.tar.gz
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Alternatively, it is possible to semi-automatically import recipes from
|
|
||||||
the [[http://nixos.org/nixpkgs/][Nixpkgs]] software distribution using this command:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
guix import /path/to/nixpkgs/checkout nettle
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The command automatically fetches and converts to Guix the “Nix
|
|
||||||
expression” of Nettle.
