<efraim>fixed python-2.4 and almost all of the python24 packages

<efraim>I wonder if it would be possible to export the guix-daemon as a nar to be fed into the store and then switched to

<efraim>I've never used ansible/puppet, but it seems faster than trying to make it run 'guix pull' before 'systemctl restart guix-daemon'

<rekado>blakefiler has no support for anything Java, but I think I understand how it works and how it provides support for other rules.

<rekado>at least I know now that it won’t be as easy as I had hoped.

<rekado>looking at my GWL working directory I see a bunch of uncommitted changes; all to add job submission via DRMAA

<rekado>I think this actually works, it just wasn’t pretty

<civodul>sounds nice

<rekado>it’s hidden behind an env var

<rekado>this whole idea of execution backends never really took off once we realized that we had no need for generating different execution *scripts*

<rekado>so I’ll probably reclaim the meaning of “execution backend”

<civodul>so you can pick the backend at run time, right?

<rekado>originally it meant a “compile” time thing
