My wishlist (a bit wordier and less organized than what most have
responded):
- At least two have already said this, improve package searching. I
recommend every package have an optional list of keywords or
keyphrases to make searching a lot more reliable and possibly faster.
- Refactor the package modules. A lot of packages stand alone in their
own module when they could fit well into an already established
module without making it much larger.
- Document all functions or syntax exported in any guix modules (like
substitute*) either in the guix manual or in a separate guix reference
manual.
- Debugging/diagnostic mechanism for hanging build processes. (I want
to know why guile-emacs takes forever to build on my machine).
- `guix import git` to more easily define packages from a git
repository.
- A way to generate a manifest from the command line.
- A way to generate a service definition from the command line.
- A way to select services and system-wide packages in the graphical
installer (like how aptitude lets you browse and select packages when
installing debian)
- A way to install a service (built for mcron or shepherd) specifically
for a user.
- #:glib-or-gtk option for (potentially) all build systems (like what
meson-build-system currently provides). If not for all build systems,
at least for python-build-system.
