[Snow fort](https://snow-fort.org) packages as [Guix](https://guix.gnu.org/)
[channel](https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Channels.html).

The relevant part of Guix manual is
[Additional Channels](https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Specifying-Additional-Channels.html).
But here is short instructions anyway.

## Status

In **alpha**.

Currently does not work other than used locally. Working on fixing the bugs tho!

Clone locally and to use run:

    guix shell -L REPOSITORY_LOCATION/packages snow-package-name


## Add the Guix channell

Copy this:

   (cons (channel
           (name 'snow-fort)
                   (url "https://gitea.scheme.org/Rinne/snow-fort-guix-channel.git"))
         %default-channels)

Into:

    ~/.config/guix/channels.scm


## Update the channels

Run:

    guix pull


## Using packages

### Note about dependencies

Only libraries which are in snow-fort and not SRFIs are added to the Guix package as dependency.

See the part about installing srfi-libraries for more details.

### Guix shell

The packages have been prefixed with "snow-", so for example to use package (arvyy mustache)
from [https://snow-fort.org/pkg](https://snow-fort.org/pkg) run:

guix shell snow-arvyy-mustache


And the library can be found from path ${GUIX_PROFILE}/share/snow.

To use them add that path into your implementations loadpath.

For example with Guile:

    guile --r7rs -L ${GUIX_PROFILE}/share/snow

### Installing SRFI libraries

SRFI libraries are not yet packaged into this channel. See related
[issue](https://gitea.scheme.org/Rinne/snow-fort-guix-channel/issues/2).
