<gry>I understand I should "join a translation team" if I'd like to translate regularly right? <gry>hm, apparently yes, I'm not seeing other sane options. I'll do that <jxself>The GNU translation teams don't normally work on pages for GNU packages. Those usually fall to the people working the package. <jxself>So a translation of the Guix pages sent to web-translators@gnu.org would end up being forwarded to the package maintainer. Just FYI... :) <jxself>Hoping to prevent gry from going in circles. :) <jxself>It excludes things under software/pkg/ :) <gry>I see. I'll do some reading in the evening. The current question I have is "what to translate from a page", i.e. I can copy it as plain text, or translate its markup, or find some other format to translate. I do think it is a set of translation strings after all, not a whole chunk, and I've not yet figured out where to take these from. <jxself>Well, the instructions for the translators doesn't apply to things like /software/emacs or /software/bash or /software/guix or anything else like that because the rest of the site has software to help the translators (called GNUnited Nations or GNUN for short.) <jxself>So the instructions for web translators will probably not be of much help, since these other places like /software/guix actually live in a different version control system entirely separate from the the main gnu.org website, and the GNUN software doesn't support this. <jxself>So you're not going to find those PO files, etc. that it talks of. <jxself>Perhaps the best option would be to first write up a translation of the text on /software/guix and submit to do civodul when he appears. :) <jmd>porgress or progress? <V_S_C>grasshopprWhoppr: thnx, packaging Hurd as in packaging Mach? <V_S_C>grasshopprWhoppr: k, the first thing I did after getting Debian HURD running is try Guix <DusXMT>it can't even fetch the file, I don't understand the error, but my guess is that the person behind it updated the tarball without incrementing the version number <jmd>DusXMT: I don't think it guix works with https addresses. <jmd>I have never been able to get it working anyway. <DusXMT>jmd: so... should I just download the file by hand and rename it to what guix expects? <jmd>Isn't there a http:// address for it? <waxysubs`>DusXMT: if you download it using some other method, then you should be able to run: guix download file:///absolute/path/to/downloaded/file <DusXMT>waxysubs`: thanks. It seems to be a problem with my gnutls, epiphany can't connect either (same error) while mozilla can <waxysubs`>it's definitely a TLS problem. maybe github changed something on their end. <waxysubs`>libevent hasn't changed in a while, so most of us have the source code already in our local cache from long ago. <waxysubs`>so it's not yet clear whether it's a problem on your end or whether github changed something and is now somehow incompatible with gnutls. <DusXMT>yup, that did it, dowloaded via mozilla and added via guix download, it now seems to build properly, thanks :) <jmd>But everyone else who tries to build it is also going to have this problem. <davexunit>arrived at the hackathon. can't find my the person that invited me, though... <davexunit>I think ward, the former CTO at the FSF is here, heh <civodul>hope you'll find them so you get an introduction <davexunit>yeah me too. I wish they would check their email or were otherwise looking for the guy with a GNU on his laptop <civodul>perhaps the internet has a picture of 'em? <Steap>davexunit: low resolution => 20 years ago => add 20 kilograms <davexunit>jxself: it's an "open source" event, but people seem interested <civodul>bavier: did you have a chance to look at the GLib issue on 32-bit?
