Hi Guix!
great news! I have successfully built a hello world package with a
fully bootstrapped maven-build-system! This email will summarize a bit
what I did and how I got there. For the impatient, my work is
currently at https://framagit.org/tyreunom/maven-build-channel. You can
build maven-test which only depends on the maven build system, which in
turn depends only on packages in maven-boostrap.scm and
maven-plugins-boostrap.scm.
Before I send a patch series (~200 patches if i count well), I would
like to describe what I want to do and get a bit of feedback. I feel
that this work is good enough to go to guix, but it might bring it to
an unconfortable state where many packages will need to be converted to
the new build system(s). I'd like to hear your opinion!
