<mark_weaver>xephyr is a much improved replacement for xnest. I'm not sure why anyone would bother with xnest anymore.
<civodul>Hello Guix!
<atheia`>Hello Civodul
<atheia`>I was thinking of lending a hand with bugs tonight — should I simply browse them on the tracker and pick one that looks doable?
<civodul>hello atheia`
<civodul>yes, you could browse the tracker, that'd be great!
<civodul> http://bugs.gnu.org/guix
<atheia`>Aha, the URL — just what I was angling for :-) Thanks
<civodul>don't hestitate to ask for info if anything's unclear with the bugs
<civodul>i have to go, but i'll be back later today
<civodul>jmd: i can't reproduce your bug, but i think i know where it comes from
<civodul>(talking about today's bug report)
<civodul>jmd: could you try "git show 595801e | patch -p1 -R" and "make clean-go && make"?
<jmd>Just a second ...
<civodul>sure
<jmd>fails to build
<jmd>In unknown file:
<jmd> ?: 1 [scm-error misc-error #f ...]
<jmd>In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
<jmd> 106: 0 [#<procedure a00f440 at ice-9/boot-9.scm:97:6 (thrown-k . args)> misc-error ...]
<jmd>
<jmd>ice-9/boot-9.scm:106:20: In procedure #<procedure a00f440 at ice-9/boot-9.scm:97:6 (thrown-k . args)>:
<jmd>ice-9/boot-9.scm:106:20: missing interface for module (gnutls)
<civodul>right, but we're back to the previous problem
<jmd>Hmm.Yes there are two ...
<civodul>i guess "make -k" passes, right?
<civodul>exactly :-)
<jmd>It's odd that you cannot reproduce it. There's nothing unusual about my setup.
<civodul>yeah
<civodul>ooh, i know
<civodul>i have Guile from git, and it has a fix for this particular problem
<civodul>so i get a non-fatal error message
<civodul>jmd: pushed a fix and replied by mail
<jmd>Yep. make -k works.
<jmd>OK. I've pulled your patch. I'll do a complete rebuild and report back tomorrow.
<civodul>i didn't push anything regarding the first bug though (gnutls)
<civodul>i'm waiting for feedback for that
<jmd>I'm unsure if the two bugs are related.
<civodul>they're not
<jmd>Oh I see your other mail now.
<mark_weaver>xb
<mark_weaver>(ugh)
<jmd>I'll try your patch tomorrow.
<jmd>Bed time.
