Hi!
Yasuaki Kudo 写道:
Just curious, is there any interest in making PowerShell core
available for Guix?
If you mean interest as in previous efforts to package it, I'm not
aware of any.
If you mean interest as in ‘would others accept this package in
Guix’: I don't see why they wouldn't, as long as it adheres to the
same standards as other Guix software. Particularly the GNU
FSDG[0].
One of the touted (old) features[1] is
“OneGet cmdlets to support the Chocolatey package manager”
which is almost certainly going to be problematic for us.
However, as long as it's (entirely) Free and doesn't install or
recommend non-free software (“sorry, that requires Windows(R)”) or
send users' command history to Microsoft, go for it!
Most such problems can be patched. If upstream turns out to
maliciously evade such patches we simply drop it again.
Windows is always there
Then let's fix that instead of ‘empowering’ its slaves to increase
productivity.
Still, we don't boycott malicious upstreams (ungoogled-chromium &
worse) and PowerShell looks like a welcome attempt to pull command
interpreters out of the 70s.
Due to its (apparent) verbosity it looks better suited to
scripting than interactive use, but then unix shs suck at both so
it's still a--
--wait, I just described Scheme. Hmm.
Get-Help,
T G-R
