Wilko :emacs: :guix:​

I have this small script running once a week that parses the #guix commit messages of the last week to generate me a list of what packages are new and which are updated, so it's easier for me to keep track if something interesting (or something I look forward to having in guix) is added to guix proper. I could have it compile a html table and publish the output as static html somewhere (a subpage on my website maybe? would also support RSS) relatively easy. Would people be interested in something like that? I wouldn't mind setting it up if it provides value to people other than myself.

@thees I think that'd be nice to have! Bonus point (me thinks) if somehow integrated in the official website? Not sure how practical that'd be though?

@fabionatali that would be cool; my proof of concept uses guile haunt (which should be what the guix homepage is using as well iirc) plus a simple script on top that runs in a cronjob. I think it could be integrated rather easily in the official website, even though commiting the reports each week will probably be a manual task.

The summaries currently look like this: me.literatelisp.eu/this-week-i (if you'd like to have a look, uploaded july and august as an example to get the gist of it a few moments ago).

Another idea could be, to also include links to blog posts and interesting threads from guix-devel in it; but that would be more of a community effort as it would require way more resources in maintenance and curation than a automatically generated summary on what's updated/new in terms of packages.
