<PurpleSym>r-gganimate is not in Guix yet, because it’s nonfree?

<rekado_>it’s Expat-licensed AFAICT

<PurpleSym>rekado_: That’s what the package metadata says, but LICENSE just says

<PurpleSym>COPYRIGHT HOLDER: Thomas Lin Pedersen

<PurpleSym>No license header in any file. Can we rely on just package metadata?

<rekado_>this is pretty common

<rekado_>the LICENSE file further specifies the license declaration in DESCRIPTION

<rekado_>DESCRIPTION says “MIT + License”, which is a common idiom.

<PurpleSym>Okay, I’m not familiar with the R universe. I’ll add gganimate to guix proper then.

<civodul>hey zimoun!

<zimoun>I am attending a remote webminar about SWH by BioInfo folks. Interesting how they explain. :-)

<zimoun>arf, again and again swhid ;-)

<zimoun>civodul: about LAPACK vs OpenBLAS and Julia, probably because it is listed in the requirements <https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/doc/build/build.md#required-build-tools-and-external-libraries>. BTW, I do not know about SuiteSparse which depends on lapack. And SuiteSparse is a dependency of Julia.

<civodul>zimoun: i'm trying to get suitesparse built against openblas right now :-)

<civodul>let's bring order to this mess!

<civodul>for Julia, we'll need to investigate

<civodul>it's surprising that it really needs both

<zimoun>cool! I will try to build Julia without lapack and only openblas. Let clean the mess for Julia v1.6 which is not fully ready, IMHO.

<civodul>that'd be great

<civodul>suitesparse -> ✅

<zimoun>I am back from holidays (sadly) so ready to tackle work. ;-)
