 More packages for the Guix package manager! This repository contains
 recipes for packages that I am working on. They will eventually be sent
 upstream. When this is the case, they will vanish from this repo.
 upstream. When this is the case, they will vanish from this repository.
 Note that most of these packages are WIP and might not work very well, or might
 not even build. Your help is very welcome!
 This repository should only contain free software.  If you encounter non-free
 software, please open an issue, email me or ping me on IRC (roptat on freenode).

 How to use these packages?
 ==========================
 ```sh
 export GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=$HOME/guix-more
 ```
 That's it!
 What is in there?
 =================
 Binary analysis software
 ------------------------
 * _angr_: A binary analysis tool
 This is a Guix channel. You will first need to install
 [Guix](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/download/) itself. Then, simply create
 a new `~/.config/guix/channels.scm` file with this content, or update the
 file with the additional channel if it already exists:
 Education
 ---------
 * _morji_: A spaced-repetition program
 Java
 ----
 ```scheme
 (cons* (channel
         (name 'guix-android)
         (url "https://git.lepiller.eu/git/guix-more.git"))
        %default-channels)
 ```
 * _fop_: A print formatter driven by XSL formatting objects
 Then run `guix pull` to pull the new channel.
 Openstreetmap
 -------------
 ### Important checks ###
 * _josm_: An openstreetmap editor
 * _imposm_: A script to import data from OSM to a postgis database
 * _tegola_: A program to produce vector tiles from a postgis database
 Make sure your guix environment is set up properly. You need to have
 `~/.config/guix/current` as the **first** item in your `$PATH` or you're going
 to run into troubles. Additionally, after running `guix pull`, make sure you
 run `hash guix` in any open terminal to make sure bash's cache is cleared of
 the old guix binary location.
 Current work
 ============
 Using skia with icecat
 ----------------------
 Adding Scala and SBT
 --------------------
 Currently working on this. I have skia, but it requires some tricks to actually
 have icecat build with it.
 Scala is not bootstrappable, so it will not go into Guix easily.  In this repo,
 I rebuild Scala using the official Scala binary, and manage to build SBT using
 it.  Note that I only packaged sbt-launcher, which is what you get when you
 download sbt from their website.  Its role is to download and execute the
 full version of sbt from the repositories.
 Adding gradle and scala/sbt
 ---------------------------
 Adding Gradle
 -------------
 Gradle is a build system used mostly by android applications. I have packages
 for 2/3 of gradle, but that's not enough. I'm currently blocked at a gradle
 subproject that requires scala and sbt. Scala is written in scala, so it's hard
 to bootstrap. I've packaged a binary version for now and building sbt (another
 dependency) is my next target.
 Adding a maven-build-system
 ---------------------------
 Although the maven package is now in Guix proper, we do not have a maven-build-system
 yet. Such a build system requires maven and some plugins. I'm planning to build
 these plugins. They require a lot of new dependencies for which we can't use
 the maven-build-system either... Such a pain :/
 OCaml and Coq packages
 ----------------------
 The more the better. They are being integrated.
 TODO
 ====
 for 2/3 of gradle in the past, but the project evolved quickly since then, so
 I will have to restart from the beginning.
 Eiffel studio -> eiffel -> AutoProof and Eve -> boogie.
 Other Packages
 --------------
 alt-ergo, CVC4
 As the name suggests, this channel contains more packages that I plan to upstream
 at some point, when I have time.
