UPDATE: We now have a forum
I like #Nix, I do not like what has happened to it. #NixOS is an incredible technology and it deserves better. Nobody else has started the process so I guess I have to be the one to do it. We are forking. I would rather try and fail alongside all the people who love Nix but were pushed away from the project than give up.

New post in the #Guix packaging series! All about how inputs (libraries and utilities) that are needed to build a package are defined. Covers inputs, native-inputs and propagated-inputs. And, how to create your own package variants using modify-inputs - we slim down Weechat by 50% as a worked example 🎆

Not sure about how it compares to #nix, but for #guix this is a key area of packaging - hope all the examples make sense!
