<civodul>Hello Guix!
<mark_weaver>hi civodul!
<civodul>hey mark_weaver
<civodul>so module-init-tools is no longer in fashion :-)
<mark_weaver>here's more on that: http://www.jonmasters.org/blog/2011/12/20/libkmod-replaces-module-init-tools/ and http://www.politreco.com/2011/12/announce-kmod-1/
<mark_weaver>I haven't looked that closely, but it sounds like an improvement.
<mark_weaver>what do you think?
<mark_weaver>it particular, it sounds like it's now possible to do things with libkmod that used to be inconvenient without running a standalone program.
<mark_weaver>though I must confess ignorance on this topic.
<mark_weaver>(no need to talk about this now, of course)
<civodul>mark_weaver: well, if that's the thing nowadays, i guess we'll have to have it
<civodul>i'm not up-to-speed on that topic, but i'll look at it more closely as work on a QEMU image makes progress
<mark_weaver>The LWN article on Guix claims that "most other package managers offer [atomic operations]", which is not true at all.
<mark_weaver>I wonder what Nathan was thinking there.
<Steap>Indeed, I really don't think APT does that :)
<civodul>heh, fun
