Hi all,

It used to be possible to link to individual Guix packages like this:


Since the recent change to the packages website the packages pages are
paginated and have no anchors, which means they will break as more
packages are added and also I cannot link directly to a package,
only to a location that contains lots of other packages too.


Fixing this would be useful for the Repology support of GNU Guix,
which currently cannot link to GNU Guix packages:

It is not just repology, but easy linking to details for external
parties/downstreams we need to point to somewhere.

I think there were some remaining ideas for the new websites,
where a package gets detail page on its own.


The pages are statically generated, the old "useful" page format
was taking a very long time to load, with each release and increase
of package count we got k more seconds. Nothing I'd like to go back
to.

Indeed.

That sounds good to me and is how a number of distros do it.

In that case, perhaps when a package is updated in the VCS, the static
generation tool could be triggered to update just that package.

Agreed, going back to the previous version would not be useful.

Hello Paul,

As Nils comments, the proposal in issue #25227 includes having a page
per package in paths like: /packages/blender-X.Y.Z/. It is already
possible to see a page per package at guix.info, but not at gnu.org

If you think this issue is covered by that proposal, you could close
this bug by sending an email to 32261-done@debbugs.gnu.org. You can use
the same subject of this bug and summarize in the body why you are

I'm no Paul, but I don't think the above addresses this bug. A
package link that includes the version and breaks on the next
upgrade is of limited use; in fact I can't think of any.

I'm leaving this bug open, but have closed the other one you
mentioned in #guix. Thanks!

Kind regards,

T G-R

Hi,

It is now possible to link to packages like this:


Which I think solves this issue, right?
