Hello Guile Users!

I have been putting together a bunch of pure Guile code, with some
gettext on the side. I am a bit familiar with Guix, and I would use the
guile-build-system (what it does is copy the scheme source code in the
appropriate location and invoke the compiler on each of them) with a
custom extra step to compile and install the translation catalogs. I
don’t see a reason to maintain a build system for my code.

Now, how would I do that if I wanted to build a Debian package? Is
there something like guix’ guile-build-system? Or do I have to provide
the whole automake and autoconf configuration?

Best regards,

Vivien
