back to list of logs

<mark_weaver>we have a phase now that checks for missing rpaths, so I'm not sure why it couldn't find its libraries.
<mark_weaver>but anyway, I have to go afk for a while. ttyl!
<codemac> sneek: later tell mark_weaver: no surprise, it was a systemd problem. they didn't expect the process to fork away (-D means don't fork), systemd would kill off the entire cgroup (strace & bitlbee+child) before it had finished printing the library lookups. so it *definitely* found it's libraries, it's just that the log I was looking at was artifically truncated.
<sneek>Got it.
<codemac>sneek: botsnack
<sneek>:)
<mark_weaver>codemac: ah, okay, thanks for the explanation :)
<sneek>Welcome back mark_weaver, you have 1 message.
<sneek>mark_weaver, codemac says: no surprise, it was a systemd problem. they didn't expect the process to fork away (-D means don't fork), systemd would kill off the entire cgroup (strace & bitlbee+child) before it had finished printing the library lookups. so it *definitely* found it's libraries, it's just that the log I was looking at was artifically truncated.
<codemac>hahah, I was just happy to have figured out sneek :P
<mark_weaver>:)
<sbidin>is there a way to specify windows within the grub-configuration?
<sbidin>(collective gasps)
<davexunit>not sure, we should allow for some method for dual booting.
<davexunit>I sure do love how I can keep a definitive list of all the packages I want installed in my user profile in a version controlled text file.
<sbidin>agreed. personally I have a repo with various config files and an "install" script that links subsets of them depending on the computer I'm on
<sbidin>but with packages, it's the next level :)
<davexunit>mark_weaver: would be opposed to me updating the guix-devel snapshot to the latest commit on master and re-enable container tests?
<davexunit>I pushed a commit awhile ago that made the guix-devel build pass with container tests enabled.
<davexunit>s/would be/would you be/
<sbidin>I'll have conky packaged soon. Any suggestions where to place it?
<sbidin>Currently I'm thinking conky.scm...
<remi`bd>where should the shared code between two scripts, publish and publish-gnunet, go?
<remi`bd>at first, I’ve placed it in a `guix/scripts/publish-utils.scm` file, but now `publish-utils` is listed as a command, thus it’s obviously not a good location.
<davexunit>morning #guix
<sbidin>good "morning" :)
<sbidin>can I see the state of the build dir after a failed build?
<davexunit>you need to build with 'guix build -K'
<davexunit>and the failed build dir will be in /tmp
<sbidin>davexunit: Thanks!
<davexunit>I believe it will owned by one of the guix builder users
<davexunit>so you'll want to 'chown -R you:you' it
<sbidin>yes, chown is needed if I want to run stuff there manually
<sbidin>is there a way to refer to the dir containing all inputs?
<sbidin>I find myself needing to set a search path for a cmake file
<sbidin>and I have ~5 inputs
<sbidin>placing the 5 different paths work
<sbidin>but I assume they're also all linked within some directory
<bavier>sbidin: there's an "environment-variables" file, that might provide what you want
<bavier>between 'guix environment foo' and that file, you should be able to recreate the build environment
<sbidin>bavier: thanks! I'll have a look
<davexunit>the environment will be a bit different, since you'll have network access and won't be in a chroot
<davexunit>'guix environment --pure' helps too
<bavier>correct, I was using 'build environment' loosely
<davexunit>I just wanted to clarify for sbidin. I know what you meant. :)
<sbidin>how could I add a message above the patch body, like this: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-08/msg00226.html
<sbidin>just using --annotate doesn't work, as git send-email expects the From: etc. headers to be on the top
<sbidin>using --compose adds an introductory email, which I don't want
<sbidin>more precisely: how could I do this while using git send-email?
<davexunit>sbidin: this was probably done by writing an email with the patch as an inline attachment
<davexunit>that's what I do most of the time
<sbidin>davexunit: ah, I see
<sbidin>thanks!
<davexunit> https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/8/21/22
<davexunit>new filesystem in linux
<davexunit>a general purpose COW file system
<paroneayea>neat!
***sbidin` is now known as Guest93813
<mark_weaver>davexunit: I'd prefer to get the security updates merged before updating the guix snapshot
<mark_weaver>but I should be able to do that very soon
<davexunit>mark_weaver: sounds good.
<davexunit>feel free to remove the phase that disables those tests
<davexunit>and see how it goes
<ifur>davexunit: whoa, that fs is the best news all years
<ifur>btrfs gives me anxiety
***Guest93813 is now known as sbidin
***sbidin is now known as Guest23043
<paroneayea>ooh
<mark_weaver>sneek: later tell remi`bd: guix/publish.scm might be a good place
<sneek>Will do.
<davexunit>mark_weaver: agree.
<davexunit>meant to reply to that earlier but forgot.
<mark_weaver>:)
<mark_weaver>davexunit: I pushed the security updates to master
<mark_weaver>but there are some broken packages that we might want to fix first
<mark_weaver>sawfish's configure script doesn't seem to like the updated gdk-pixbuf
<davexunit>okay, no rush on my end. just trying to get my ducks in a row so I can get the rest of the container patches in.
<mark_weaver>and we need an updated gnurl, although I didn't like it because it was signed by a person who I've never heard of, nor have I heard of anyone who signed his key (which is almost no one), and someone who has no commits in the gnurl repo
<davexunit>hmm that is a bit of a red flag
<mark_weaver>probably we need a newer version than they have anyway
<mark_weaver>curl-7.43.0 failed its test suite against the new gnutls, but curl-7.44.0 worked.
<mark_weaver>and gnurl is as version 7.43.0 now
<mark_weaver>s/as/st/
<mark_weaver>s/as/at/
<mark_weaver>bah
<mark_weaver>(gnurl is a fork of curl used by gnunet)
<mark_weaver>anyway, I think it's okay to update guix-devel after we get sawfish fixed
***davi_ is now known as Guest72060
<davexunit>sounds good
<paroneayea>gnurl is a really weird sounding name
***wgreenho` is now known as wgreenhouse
