<efraim>once I figure something out for julia-timezones I have julia-optim ready to upstream

<zimoun>civodul: I am working on the report today. :-)

<efraim>zimoun: Looking more at julia-timezones, it looks like they're considering moving the timezone data to a separate package for 2.0, which should allow us to package it without needing to create 254 source inputs to fix Artifacts.toml

<civodul>hey zimoun, neat!

<civodul>rekado: BTW, congrats on the GWL release! \o/

<zimoun>efraim, cool! 254 is some. :-)

<zimoun>rekado: thanks for GWL \o/

<efraim>I was going to say a dozen or two and then I decided to check

<civodul>hey efraim, do you have anything to add in the Guix-HPC annual report? :-) https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/website/-/blob/master/drafts/activity-report-2021.md

<civodul>i'm thinking about Guix-Past maybe?

<efraim>civodul: I'll take a look at it now. Have you pinged pjotr about it also?

<civodul>efraim: yes, Pjotr added the section on RISC-V and a few other things

<efraim>I will note that I'm still unsure between RISCV and RISC-V

<efraim>do we want a link to NSF and NLNET's websites?

<civodul>why not; just make sure there aren't too many links as the PDF rendering would be ugly (due to footnotes) :-)

<efraim>Looking at the guix-past repository it looks like qt@4, openssl-1.0 and some others migrated over

<efraim>I see NLNet gets linked later

<civodul>and you added Python 2.4 this year, no?

*civodul pushed minor tweaks

<efraim>that was apparently the previous year

<efraim>I did fix building it with the core-updates merge, but mostly some old software got migrated/added and some builds got fixed

<civodul>ok

<efraim>i'm adjusting guix-past to not import (guix) so we can hide the warnings when loading the channel

<civodul>what are the warnings we get?

<efraim>(delete) conflicts with (delete) from guile

<efraim>WARNING: (past packages bioinformatics): imported module (guix) overrides core binding `delete'

<civodul>oh that

<civodul>yeah, makes sense to get rid of them :-)

<efraim>Now I'm looking for guix package: package 'python' has been superseded by 'python2'

<civodul>that must come from (specification->package "python")

<civodul>rather: (specification->package "python@2")

<efraim>python2-called-python

<efraim>hah, python2 is ambiguous, python2@2.7 it is!

<civodul>heh

<civodul>rekado: should you mention the waste water sequencing paper of your team in the report, under "Articles"?

<rekado>I don’t know. It’s barely related to Guix HPC.

<rekado>I think it doesn’t quite fit in

<civodul>alright
