Hello. I am new to the Guix GNU+Linux distro. And I’m trying to get the latest version of Anki (2.1.65). However, an older version (2.1.16) is what’s there in the Guix channel (which is too old). I’m reading here that a simple edit to the education.scm file (the version var) would fix it. Unfortunately, the education.scm file in a Guix system is readonly. Unless the guix git repo maintainers update the code, my only option is to make a custom module and package to supply a newer version. Though, I don’t know how to do that (I’m a noobie). I just need help on figuring that out. Any help is appreciated.

Edit: Okay, I totally spaced the text “;; Later versions have dependencies on npm packages not yet in Guix.”. So, for anki to be at version 2.1.65, it needs more npm packages. So, no modern anki right now… However, I did get to learn more about Guix packaging!
