Hi,

I'm currently updating Tryton to version 7.0 and am wondering whether it's better to contribute the change to Guix or to set up a channel for Tryton.

WDYT? I'm eager to learn about your thoughts.

Here is why I'm wondering:

Given this, it might be interesting to have three versions of Tryton available: the two LTS versions and the latest version.

Now the idea is to provide a channel which provides a branch for each LTS version and a "main" branch for the latest release. This would allow to checkout the respective branch and refresh the packages of the respective version semi-automatically.

OTOH in Guix, maintaining several version seems laborious.

Anyhow I'm unsure whether it's worth the effort maintaining three versions and whether I'll be able to keep three version up to date - esp. given that I don't have much automation for this.

Some more background-info:
