<habstinat>Can Guix alpha be bootstrapped from mips64el to run independently yet? Or must it run alongside another GNU/Linuxen? <habstinat>handheldCar: Ah yes; sorry I meant to idle overnight but my laptop hibernated <habstinat>I was just curious about Guix; I'm running gNewSense on my Yeeloong right now but I was wondering if Guix is at the point where it's possible to boostrap a Guix alpha install on mips64el that's bootable without using any parts from another GNU/Linux <civodul>habstinat: so currently, Guix is not standalone: it allows you to install packages on top of a running GNU/Linux system <civodul>that should be fixed within a couple of months, hopefully <civodul>as for MIPS: there's an mips64el branch, which allows packages to be built on mips64el/N32 <civodul>but there were discussions that N64 would be preferable <civodul>i'm personally working on the cross-compilation of the "bootstrap binaries" <habstinat>civodul: Yes; I saw that in the archives which is what peaked my interest in this project <habstinat>OK; great; I may try Guix out later this week. Thanks for the info. <civodul>don't hesitate to chime in here or on the ML if you have any issues/questions <Steap>| | substitution of `/nix/store/mvpy4wa7dq8z5f4s5c1gmjh4jplyiw2a-git-1.8.2.2': trying next substituter <Steap>| | starting substituter program `/home/cyril/guix/nix/scripts/substitute-binary' <Steap>I'm stuck here when trying to build git <Steap>Weirdest thing is I used "--no-substitutes" <Steap>It juste took quite a long time to start <Steap>Funny, I removed "--no-substitutes" and it's taking quite a long time doing... nothing <Steap>does this happen to anyone else ? <civodul>i haven't restarted it, because i'm testing an improvement for that situation :-) <civodul>but if you use --no-substitutes, then there's no problem
