[bug#51319] [PATCH 0/2] Better interoperability between guix and Julia built-in package manager

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello!

Efraim, zimoun: I just stumbled upon this patch series by Jean-Baptiste,
which seems to have fallen through the cracks:

  https://issues.guix.gnu.org/51319

Could you take a look and apply them if appropriate?

Thanks in advance!

Ludo’.
