<rgc`>hi, I've read a bit about guix, and the idea seems great. I see NixOS using Nix as the package manager. Is there any linux distro using Guix? otherwise, is there a list of guix-friendly distros? <rgc`>(I don't know even if asking this makes sense) <mark_weaver>maybe at some point we should have a different name for the distro vs the package manager. <mark_weaver>but for now, Guix should work within any GNU/Linux distro. <handheldCar>I hope y'all do name the distro differently; "geeks" almost hurts my feelings. <viric>handheldCar: guix reads 'geesh' in catalan. :) <handheldCar>So if you have to patch a source file so that it uses /nix/store/.../bin/sh instead of /bin/sh, how do you do that: with a $var for the ...? <civodul>handheldCar: yes, 'gnu-build-system' does that by default: it patches all shebangs <civodul>it's been one year without /bin/sh :-) ***chaoflow_ is now known as chaoflow
<handheldCar>Do you do anything when "source file ... newer than compiled"? <mark_weaver>don't worry about it, but running 'make' should fix it, assuming that the source file is in the makefile.
