This directory contains Guix package definitions that can be used to
override the ones found in Guix's GNU distribution.

Guix packagers are encouraged to adopt and adjust these definitions.

GNUnet developers can use this for easily setting up a development or
test environment using Guix.

When using the package definition for building a package this will
pick up the current development code. The version of the resulting
package is the output of 'git describe --tags'.


To make guix pick up the package definition contained here you need to
either pass an extra parameter to guix or or set an environment
variable:

  guix ... --load-path=<gnunet.git>/contrib/guix ...
  export GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=<gnunet.git>/contrib/guix

NOTE: Due to a bug in guix 0.16, using --load-path currently does not
      work as expected. Please set the environment variable. See
      <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=34679> for
      details.

To spawn a (development) environment with GNUnet's dependencies
installed, run:

  guix environment --load-path=<gnunet.git>/contrib/guix guix

To spawn a (test) environment with GNUnet available in this
environment, run:

  guix environment --load-path=<gnunet.git>/contrib/guix --ad-hoc guix


It is recommented to also pass the '--pure' option to guix, to make
sure the environment is not polluted with existing packages.
