<davexunit>they have some really cool stuff packaged, like gitlab. <davexunit>I'm curious how the packaged a whole web application <davexunit>ah, they use ruby's bundler, rather than nix packages for ruby libs. <davexunit>that's certainly easier, but not the way to go, imo. <svetlana>I've had quite experience with -- on some other distro -- using cpan (the perl pkg manager) to install stuff <svetlana>horridly incompatible with distro's native package manager, plenty of leftovers and a need to learn both systems to keep things from becoming a mess <davexunit>yeah, and duplicate versions of things hanging around. <davexunit>so, it will take us a lot longer to package something like gitlab, but the end result will be better. <zacts>NixOS as a distro has many problems. Guix is already more stable for me than Nix <zacts>I like how guix is taking the time to really do things well <davexunit>NixOS is pretty great, but I like the design decisions that Guix has made more. <zacts>davexunit: conceptually NixOS is, but I had problems with even getting the networking working <zacts>I researched my networking problem, apparently it's a bug <davexunit>but yeah, it's nice to not be using systemd. <zacts>but I have a feeling of more stability with guix, based on my own personal experience <zacts>guix will be the most lispy modern OS in use by people <mark_weaver>"Opening nntp server on news.gmane.org...failed: Error when connecting: 400 load at 85.56, try later". yikes! *davexunit goes back into the abyss of guix publish <davexunit>for some reason, I can't get guix substitute-binary to query my publishing server
