+Package: guix.install
+Type: Package
+Title: Install R Packages with GNU Guix
+Version: 1.0.0
+Date: 2022-04-06
+Author: Ricardo Wurmus
+Maintainer: Ricardo Wurmus <ricardo.wurmus@mdc-berlin.de>
+Description: This R package provides a single procedure guix.install,
+ which allows R users to install R packages via Guix right from within
+ their running R session. If the requested R package does not exist
+ in Guix at this time, the package and all its missing dependencies
+ will be imported recursively and the generated package definitions
+ will be written to ~/.Rguix/packages.scm. This record of imported
+ packages can be used later to reproduce the environment, and to add
+ the packages in question to a proper Guix channel (or Guix itself).
+ guix.install not only supports installing packages from CRAN, but
+ also from Bioconductor or even arbitrary git or mercurial
+ repositories, replacing the need for installation via devtools.
