<jxself>Guix really uses initrd not initramfs? <jxself>This is probably better than copying specific things? <davexunit>`sudo find /gnu/store -name ldconfig` turns up nothing <davexunit>I'm trying to package wireless-tools, didn't realize that it wasn't already packaged. <davexunit>I almost have it working, but it can't load libiw.so at runtime <davexunit>I'm not sure how to tell programs like iwconfig explicitly where to load libiw from, since the package contains libiw, it isn't an input. <davexunit>I tried setting LIBRARY_PATH to /home/dave/.guix-profile/lib as well <davexunit>(setenv "LDFLAGS" (string-append "-Wl,-rpath -Wl," out "/lib")) <svetlana> http://dpaste.com/021KN9J — can't install perl, trying to install gnu screen. (I finally learned to copy-paste text from guix's console by runing it in a tty with gpm.) is there anything I can do about the error? ***starchy is now known as starchild
<jxself>It looks like a problem with downloading from CPAN, not with anything else? <Fulax>I got 503 error code when browsing search.cpan.org :( <jxself>Is there no recording of civodul's FOSDEM talk? I've tried looking for it on the FOSDEM site and am coming up empty. <davexunit>I am adding a custom phase to a package defintion, in which I would like to reference the version of the package that I'm building. <davexunit>I tried adding (guix packages) to the list of modules that are loaded, but it says that it cannot be found :( <davexunit>I was hoping to be able to use (package-version foo), but it doesn't seem to work that way. <waxysubs>davexunit: one option: use 'let' to bind the version number outside of the package form, and then use unquote to retrieve it in the code snippets where it's needed.
