Nearly at full GuixSD

I converted over my mail setup today. That was one of the remaining total-blockers on me spending most of my day in GuixSD.

The last major blocker is packaging "assword".

BTW, @David Thompson has started a wip-mediagoblin branch. I hope to help this weekend. Hopefully we'll have MediaGoblin in Guix soon!

@cwebber@identi.ca is guix going to do the Debian thing of requiring packages build JavaScript from source?

@Diane Trout That is likely to be the general policy, if we can make it happen. I'm not sure if bundling will be okay.

At first MediaGoblin demo on Guix, there may be a "cheater" route of using the minified JS, but I'd like to go the full "from source" route.

It's too bad the javascript packaging situation is so exhausting.

It looks so innocuous, just a handful of unremarkable bower dependencies ...

Bundled JS source plus minification as a build step will be a good first step.  Unmangling JavaScript build systems in general is a can of worms I wish to defer for now.
