I'm afraid it could overwrite the bootloader on the host machine, does anyone have any idea if there is <roptat>eloyesp, I think at the end of the installer you're given a choice to edit the final configuration file before it starts actually installing anything <roptat>that's where you'd change the bootloader config to install to your external drive instead <eloyesp>I've already installed it on the external drive, it went ok, but now, I'm not sure when that file will be "executed" again... <eloyesp>if I install a package, will it re-install the bootloader? <eloyesp>the problem is that now, the disk is not sdd anymore, it is sdc ... <roptat>that file is only executed when you run "guix system reconfigure" <roptat>if you use only guix install & co, or any command run as user, as opposed to root, you're fine <eloyesp>I have an idea now, can I use the disk id there? `/dev/disk/by_id/usb-xxx` (seems to be a link to the "correct" drive) <roptat>yes, absolutely, I was about to suggest it :) <roptat>as long as that id is stable across machines <roptat>(otherwise it'll fail, which is better than overriding another bootloader I guess) <eloyesp>is there a way to check if the file is fine (or make a dry run) <roptat>there's --dry-run, but it doesn't really do anything <roptat>I mean, I don't think it'll test the bootloader config for errors <AsumFace>how does guix tell what compiler to use? <apteryx>they are defined as part of the build systems <apteryx>(guix build-systems gnu) for example <wleslie>I've hit a failure in my cross binutils compile and wondering if it's possible to run this command in something like the compile environment to dig deeper https://bpa.st/QKFA <wleslie>I think this is binutils-2.34/bfd/config.status that is running here <wleslie>looking at this file, I can't see what command `default` is supposed to be running <wleslie>neither `config.status default` or `make` fail in my default environment, so it's strange that there's nothing between `config.status default` and the parent make failing <wleslie>I added texinfo to native inputs, but I get exactly the same error <ani>How shall I send patch files to mailing list? attaching .patch file to email or from command line(terminal) git send-email ? <nly>ani: try the easier method first? <wleslie>the git-format-patch command produces them in the correct format for email <vits-test>nly: which one? <fat>I usually just giving a link to the Debian paste.</fat> ***vits-test is now known as sneek

<ani>guix doesn't have emacs27 module? <leoprikler>PotentialUser-34: Is that included in the linux-libre kernel or does it need firmware blobs? <ani>leoprikler: when I installed guix install emacs <leoprikler>You're on a pretty outdated guix, then, probably. Try `guix pull' first. *civodul just realized we have bug #44000 <civodul>also, i got 'guix pull' to run in the childhurd, and eventually the system crashed <civodul>and the kernel debugger was unreachable <OriansJ>I wonder what percentage of bugs are still open. <civodul>you can help reach that number faster! :-) <civodul>i read that Hacktoberfest is a good way to do that, too <Brendan[m]2>i think there are many people waiting for reviews on there submissions <civodul>i feel like we committers could review more, but it's easier said than done <Brendan[m]2>better to invest in the community by adressing those contributions rather than working on ones own todo list perhaps <Brendan[m]2>how good do you have to be before you can become a comitter? <civodul>it's not about being "good", whatever that means <leoprikler>You just need to sell your soul to the FSF and commit to only writing GPL software for the rest of your life ;) <Brendan[m]2>i think i would like to become one for the sake of working on things such as leaf packages where i hopefully wont break things that are important <nly>>commitment hah, i see what you did there <civodul>so the co-optation rules are clearly stated, and we clarified that on purpose some months ago <civodul>in the hope that people would dare apply :-) <civodul>i think it has worked to some extent <Brendan[m]2>i wouldn't touch guix core stuff on my own. also, im not sure what is required to submit to core-updates. some people just seem to be working on it whenever so i dont know what the game plan is <Brendan[m]2>i wanted my fixes to wrap-program to be tested and go in if they are ok. <civodul>i was under the assumption that it was "being handled by someone" :-) <Brendan[m]2>maybe it is, since people likely dont comment when there is no program and its just in the works. i pinged you and rekado about your old bug report for wrap-script. he said hed look into that one. as for the wrap-program, Danny asked a question, i clarified, and then no response since. <Brendan[m]2>Part of the reason i wanted it in core-updates, even if it was buggy, was that i can exploit the build server to test rebuilding the world <Brendan[m]2>otherwise id have to start burning my laptops cpu for a few days trying to do that to see if anything breaks <leoprikler>I'm p sure wrap-program affects more than 1200 packages, so it belongs to c-u either way ;) <ani>how to know which guix version am I using? <ani>I tried guix version but it doesn't provide it in <ani>Generation 2 Oct 14 2020 15:05:49 (current) <ani> commit: 3df707778a29b7364fffe94c150a9f69467c47cf <ani>am I at the latest version ? <civodul>it looks like a recent version, presumably from Oct. 14 :-) <civodul>so not the latest, but very close to it <ani>yes I am running emacs27.1 <efraim>about 50 commits behind HEAD but recent enough <ani>efraim: damn, guix developers are faster than guix user :D <zimoun>civodul: the Hacktoberfest thing a another way to say Hackathonm right?

Life hasnât been kind enough to me these weeks. <rekado_>Iâm too deep in brain fog to think clearly about the problem and devise solutions. <zimoun>could we do something about the 2 âgnu/packages/gnuzilla.scm:595:10: warning: resolvingâ appearing each time I run âmakeâ? <Brendan[m]2>That's ok its not a problem. i might develop the test cases you suggested <rekado_>zimoun: noticed those too. Whatâs that about? Is it a problem with how patches are referenced? <OriansJ>rekado_: you need a vacation; no point in pushing oneself when this is a long term project <OriansJ>and burnout is deadly to long term projects <rekado_>OriansJ: yeah, no vacation in sight â Iâm not even back to work yet. Itâs just long term sleep deprivation. People say it gets better one day. <Brendan[m]2>i think that gets better when the sleep deprivation stops ^_^ <ani>zimoun: I sent the doc patch <ani>also I sent a mail to help-guix@gnu.org <OriansJ>rekado_: me too; but that is the point of 2 parents. One can give the other a day off to sleep and recover <ani>I am new when it comes to submitting patches through email. For my first patch, I copied all the body from the .path file and pasted in mail. Also from the subject line, I copied the subject and pasted it in the subject of my email. To be on the safer side I also attached a patch file to the email. What is the write way? I thought submitting through email is the easier way than submitting it to git email. <rekado_>ani: attaching is better than copy/paste because the formatting remains intact <leoprikler>git send-email is preferred, but there's nothing wrong with using attachments <rekado_>ani: you can also send the patch *directly* with âgit send-emailâ, <ani>I thought this way will be faster. But I guess now before sending R package patch I will send it through git command line <ani>but after configuration only one command <OriansJ>just be sure to communicate a rotation shedule with your spouse rekado_ and you both can escape cronic sleep deprivation <ani>I guess that will be fun to do, but then I thought I will have to generate app password for gmail inorder to use it in terminal hence I thought of sending patch file. <Brendan[m]2>its even possible to attach multiple patches to a single email. its a bit difference to the convention but people can cope with it <rekado_>ani: in the long term configuring send-email is a good idea, because it simplifies things; but in the mean time just attach the generated patch. <rekado_>OriansJ: a crĂšche would be nice. Redundancy with just two parents is poor in case of sickness :-/ <OriansJ>rekado_: we call that day-care here; but there is a reason why extended families trade childcare favors <OriansJ>but it only works if you have siblings who live a reasonable travel distance away <zimoun>rekado_: the warning are about patch path. I do not understand. âgit blameâ says it is 2 commits by Mark. It is warning so it is ok, it is just annoying. :-) <zimoun>ani: Cool! Are you an Emacs user? <ani>Beginner though. I was using VIM <ani>but then I came to church of emacs :D <civodul>zimoun, rekado_: yeah that gnuzilla.scm warning comes from f43ffee90882c2d61b46d69728daa7432be297e4 <zimoun>civodul: what is the point of this new âguileâ file?

Then I will switch to doom in near future. <ani>"fully" -> state in which I feel confident. <zimoun>civodul: I did âguix environment -C guixâ, run some stuff, then out and âguix environment -C guix âad-hoc gitâ, tweak and then âmakeâ failed <leoprikler>I have "fully" learned Emacs to the extent that I now understand it is impossible to "fully" learn Emacs :) <ani>guys I have question for you regarding GNU, FSF. Is it appropriate to ask it here? <zimoun>ani: I suggest you to give a look at the emacs package Magit. It helps! :-) <civodul>ani: GNU and the FSF are totally different things, and Guix does not represent all of GNU; that said, you can ask :-) <zimoun>civodul: ./pre-inst-env: line 55: /gnu/store/y0n6ravn3s5p6xl7jwgal6pvbmikajm7-profile/bin/guile: No such file or directory <civodul>how does that relate to the new 'guile' binary? :-) <civodul>here's a trick: if you want to use -C with an autoconf-based project, always use -CP <civodul>that way, file names are recorded (in config.cache, Makefile, etc.) as $HOME/.guix-profile/... <civodul>zimoun: BTW, i realized that Oct. 29th is holiday time here, so not good timing for me <civodul>and i'll be around the week before as well <ani>yes, so I know GNU, FSF are totally different things. I started following them since my teenage. But I didn't know how to connect with it. I thought GNU is very limited and if you want to contribute then you will have to be expert at something, and I was wrong. And started exploring and using GNU and Free Software every possible time. Since then many of my friend see me as Free Software Activist. So they do ask me about Free Software and Open source etc. I have <ani>prepared a mail for them, If you guys suggest me somethign what I need to improve in that information then that will be good. <ani>zimoun: Yes, magit helps because emacs rocks. :) <zimoun>civodul: no holidays when we speak about releasing. ;-) <zimoun>ani: if you use Magit, then it is really easy to submit patches: stage (s), commit (c c and rewrite), format-patch (W c C-m b master c) and then outside âgit send-email âto=⊠0001-blabla.patchâ with the configuration of in the Example section https://git-scm.com/docs/git-send-email <rekado_>zimoun: funny, I thought youâd suggest Magit for send-email. I also use git send-email on the command lin. <ani>Also, does anyone know, whether thinkpad X200 will support external monitor with <ani>1920x1080 resolution ? <zimoun>rekado_: yeah it is really missing upstream. <janneke>yeah, magit needs to support git-send-email ;) <ani>in cookbook $GUIX_CHECKOUT means where we have our .scm file or our working directory where we are editing our files isn't it? <rekado_>ani: I no longer have an X200, but I do think I used it with my old HD monitor before. <wleslie>I miss the days where you could tell what resolution your computer could support by multiplying the size of your graphics ram by the colour depth <bonz060>Hi guix! How would you get the r/ship between inputs using guix-graph? I want to find out which package has, as a dependency, some other package. <ani>So I guess now I am ready to make R package, patch it and then send the patch. But before that I have few doubts <zimoun>rekado_, janneke: saddly the Magit authors do not seem interested by git-send-email support. Because there are some âclosedâ issues asking for the support (checking before open another one). However, GitHub pull-request is now supported. :-p <ani>zimoun: I am using building from git guide. Have downloaded latest git clone <ani>and now did run "guix environment guix --pure" <ani>now shall I start packaging R packages? <janneke>zimoun: oh, that's unfortunate; maybe it could help to ask again? <ani>I found R package in guix/guix/build so shall I do "guix import cran --recursive" to know which packages are not packaged? <zimoun>maybe since Kyle contributes to both Guix and Magit <ani>zimoun: which package shall I package? <ani>these are the packages which aren't been packaged? <ani>How do I which aren't ? <ani>also after running this command "guix environment guix --pure". I can't run any guix command <ani>like error I am getting guix not found <zimoun>it is expected since ââpureâ erase all your env variables. <zimoun>once in the environment, you have to run â./bootstrap && ./configure âlocalstatedir=/var/ && makeâ and then â./pre-inst-env guix <sucommand>â <ani>./pre-inst-env is like python virtualenv? <rekado_>bonz060: you can use âguix graph --pathâ if you know that a package is an indirect dependency but youâd like to know how indirect the relationship is. <rekado_>ani: no, it just makes it so that Guix will use your source directory. <nefix>hello! How can I get the path to a binary in a scheme file? I want to generate a file with the path to Nix hardcoded in it <nefix>I'm not sure if I've explained myself :S <ani>nefix: If you haven't then you can explain again. <rekado_>nefix: can you provide a little more information about *where* you want the absolute file name of *what* binary? <rekado_>nefix: what âscheme fileâ do you mean?

For that I want to build a packaged named abc so I click on that I look at its metadata, now I am using one of the package template /guix/build/r-build-system.scm to get reference and edit appropriate values <ani>am I going in right direction? <leoprikler>If you're building an R package, looking at other R packages sounds like a good idea, yes. <zimoun>ani: no. First try âguix import cran -r abcâ, this command will give you the recipe. Second, add it to gnu/packages/cran.scm (bottom). <zimoun>then you go for â./pre-inst-env guix build abcâ. Does it make sense for you? <efraim>the staging freeze is independant of the upcoming release? <zimoun>efraim: I do not know but it is on point. :-) <ani>I will do that I got the recipe but it says "Starting download of /tmp/guix-file.QPD259" where does it saves the file. ? <zimoun>ani: do not worry about that, IMHO. <ani>Okay so piping the output of "guix import cran -r abc" to a file and then saving it will do the work ? <bonz060>On debbugs.el, what is the specific name to enter to get the bug list? On the docs, I only see guix-patches for seeing patches... <roptat>ani, you'll be missing some modules if you do that, instead copy-paste it to gnu/packages/cran.scm <ani>Ah I have habit of making things complicated. :D Actually now it makes sense after opening the <ani>so just pasting the recipe and then commiting the patch isn't it? <roptat>if there are multiple packages, it's one patch per package <roptat>you still need to check the output: does it build (guix build), reproducibly (guix build --check) and does it correspond to our standards (guix lint) <zimoun>let keep thing simple for now ;-) <ani>roptat: I got it first let me copy paste and then come to this part. <roptat>you might need to tweak the synopsis and descriptions a bit :) <ani>did a search and found out that abc is already in the file. Now I have to look at another package. <leoprikler>is this so you can get a contribution for outreachy? <leoprikler>if not, I suggest the much saner alternative of "building a package once you find out that guix doesn't have it and you really need it" <bonz060>rekado_: thanks for the guix graph tip. <ani>leoprikler: Yes, its for outreachy but I don't want to contribute for sake of Outreachy. So what you have suggested I will do it? That will enhance my overall knowledge of using and developing guix. What I was doing was to write recipe and then go as defined in "2.1.1 A hello world package".

I know my Tolkien but there it ends. <roptat>lapin, sorry, I didn't understand <nckx>civodul: I also support (but perhaps it's already a style rule?) using LIST over '() wherever possible. âWeâ don't care, but a newcomer should not have to wonder why replacing "--foo" with (string-append "--foo=" x) in a list suddenly âfailsâ. <roptat>zimoun`, good news I think, the issue we're experiencing with dune is actually an issue in OCaml, and it's fixed in 4.11, so we'll have to upgrade to 4.11; there are still some issues apparently, but probably unrelated to the problem we have right now <lapin>if i specified the version i need to shange the name of my module ? <roptat>not the name of the module, only the name of the sources <roptat>the module can have any name, it doesn't matter <roptat>maybe share your code (on paste.debian.net for instance) so we can better help you? <roptat>zimoun`, so I'll review your comments and push the dune upgrade; then send a bug report with all the info I have about and I'll see what needs to be done to update to 4.11 <roptat>lapin, so in the origin record, right before sha256, add (file-name (git-file-name name version)) that will remove the lint warning <zimoun`>do you think if the upgrade is doable for v1.2 ? <roptat>depends if I can find a way to do it properly this week-end <roptat>I think I'll push a change to the dune build system to use -j1, that'll make everything reproducible <roptat>or #:parallel-build #f by default (but then the dune-build-system needs to support it ^^') <roptat>I know I can build OCaml 4.11 very easily, but not all package we have is actually compatible, so we'll need to do some upgrades/keep some on 4.09 <roptat>so I'll add ocaml 4.11, then add package-with-ocaml4.09; then I'll need to figure out what to do before I can switch ocaml to 4.11 by default; then I'll see what needs to be done before I can use ocaml 4.09 instead of 4.07, and get rid of 4.07 <zimoun`>roptat: I will see next week if what is done in Haskell about parellel-build? could be mimicked. <roptat>OK, I guess I'm leaving this to you then? <zimoun`>well, remove all 4.07 needs some work and I am not sure it is doable for v1.2 whitout too many breakage <roptat>yeah... that's why I want 4.11 first <roptat>zimoun`, we also need to work on the guix days though, I think it's our priority right now <zimoun`>Once ocaml4.11, maybe package-with-ocaml4.11 could be helpful to easily check what is breaking. <zimoun`>yep! It is on the top of my TODO :-) <roptat>we really need to release the website change quickly, do you think you can do it before this evening? I guess we'll need some maintainers' approval first :) <roptat>we've been working on it with zimoun`, but haven't submitted anything yet <roptat>zimoun`, should I submit the patch to guix-patches now, or do you want to do it yourself later? <zimoun`>I am going to send in a couple of hours with some updates I did, is it ok for you? <nckx>`, is doing weird things to the Scheme pattern recognition part of my brain. Stop firing, silly neurons. roptat: What are they about and why are they urgent? <roptat>so we want to have a conference end of november, but we need to get presentations and everything, so the change adds a banner to the website to announce it, with a link to a blog post that explains how it's going to happen <roptat>basically, we want to have talk proposals before next week (it's basically just filtering on what people want to talk about, to prevent off-topic), then we give them some time to prepare a video and we release them one week before the conference <roptat>that way, people can watch them beforehand and prepare questions, we won't have a live presentation, only some Q&A and discussion (BoF) <zimoun`>nckx: I do not know how to rename me. Since I logged with zimoun and then I do not know what happened and paf! I am zimoun`. <nckx>What does â/nick zimounâ say? <OriansJ>Day 3 of guix source tarballs collection: I have finally processed 60% of the links and have only obtained 23.8GB of the estimated 42.5GB that is expressed in that download percentage <civodul>nckx: re using 'list', sounds good (but only in package definitions i guess) <zimoun`>nckx: the proposal should be on your guix-maintainer mailbox, somehow :-) ***vits-test is now known as zimoun

<zimoun>roptat: building the website is really painful! Too much warnings. And a single tweak implies rebuild a lot. Hum? <roptat>zimoun, yes, but I don't know why <roptat>normally haunt doesn't have to rebuild all of guix :/ <zimoun>changing a comma and my CPU is burning more than recompling all the OCaml packages ;-) <roptat>isn't the website building on a single core? <roptat>so, haunt has its own guile, /gnu/store/18hp7flyb3yid3yp49i6qcdq0sbi5l1n-guile-3.0.2/bin/guile which seems to be the culprit (from a repl, loading (guix build utils) gives the warnings about incompatible bytecode) <raghavgururajan>roptat: Thanks! I think you are looking at old patches. The new ones are different. :-) <roptat>zimoun, maybe it's time to use --with-graft? <raghavgururajan>Regarding gajim-next, the new version has drastic interface changes. So good to have gajim-next for some time and then deprecate the older version. <roptat>zimoun, yes --with-graft is wonderful :) <roptat>do guix environment --ad-hoc haunt --with-graft=guile@3.0.2=guile -- guix environment --ad-hoc guile guile-json guile-syntax-highlight gnutls <raghavgururajan>civodul: More will come soon. I will be back to working on that this Monday. Had some work in the past days. *zimoun is trying roptat command. <siginT`>Hi guix can some one give me some insight on the emacs-guix geiser no prompt found error <zimoun>roptat: hum? it does not work for me, as-is. Need investigation. I will do later <siginT`>I havent been able to find a solution, I checked the bug report on the emacs-guix repo but it hasnt been solved <roptat>zimoun, I might have ommited some packages that are specified in the README <mroh>siginT`: I stay at emacs-geiser@0.11.2, emacs-guix works (more or less/good enough for me) with that version. <zimoun>I have run with all the required packages. I just did C-a and add the âguix environment âad-hoc haunt âwith-graft=⊠--â. Anyway, I am done with building the website. :-) <rekado_>raghavgururajan: I think itâs very unusual to keep an older version of gajim. <rekado_>raghavgururajan: the new version is the latest official release, so we should just name it âgajimâ <rekado_>if someone needs the old version they can use the time machine. <raghavgururajan>rekado_: Okay, can I make a patch that removes older version of gajim in messaging.scm and rename the gajim-next to gajim in gajim.scm? <rekado_>raghavgururajan: yes, but then you can just squash these two patches into one, no? <zimoun>help: English proofread required for #44022 (guix day announce) co-authored with roptat <rekado_>raghavgururajan: sorry, maybe Iâm missing something here <rekado_>raghavgururajan: if gajim-next doesnât exist yet thereâs no need to rename it <rekado_>youâd just upgrade gajim to the latest version <raghavgururajan>rekado_: I see. The pack-def I made for gajim-next is different from the older definition. May be for the newer definition, I use the package name as "gajim" and variable name as "gajim-next"? In this way, guix install gajim installs the latest version. <rekado_>raghavgururajan: Iâm confused: why not upgrade and make all the changes necessary for the upgrade in one commit? <rekado_>if an upgrade needs new inputs we add them in the same commit <raghavgururajan>I could. I am often told that, too many changes in one commit. If I can make changes needed by upgrade, in a single commit, is that okay? <rekado_>if they are necessary for the upgrade they can all go in one commit <rekado_>if you *also* add optional stuff ⊠that wouldnât be great <rekado_>e.g. enabling an extra feature that requires more inputs, etc <roptat>raghavgururajan, for optional stuff: do one commit to upgrade the package, and antoher commit to add the feature <raghavgururajan>roptat: What about missing inputs? Some dependencies are shown as "foo not found" during config phase. Those can be added as inputs in the upgrade commit right? <roptat>you can't have a commit where a package is broken <raghavgururajan>Also, the newer version doesn't depend on foo anymore, the foo input can be removed in upgrade commit right? <rekado_>it should be removed with the upgrade commit <raghavgururajan>Same for arguments right? Remove those no longer apply and add new ones? <rekado_>as long as thatâs part of the upgrade and not something that adds or removes features beyond whatâs needed for the upgrade <raghavgururajan>Btw, I think #41111 was closed by Danny accidentally. The patch-set had 6 patches, but only 2 were pushed and closed. *raghavgururajan notified Danny <joshuaBPMan>Does anyone have any experience making a smart (or dumb) phone? <mfg>joshuaBPMan: Do you mean designing custom hardware? <joshuaBPMan>I just mean a DIY dumb or smart phone.

I wonder if they've shipped yet. <joshuaBPMan>ok. Do you know the price tag on that? Shipping to the U.S. from finland is probably expensive.... ***jess is now known as j
<civodul>roptat, zimoun: we should change to guile-3.0-latest in the .guix.scm file of the web site, if that's an option <cbaines>I wonder if it would be useful to have some way of annotating Patchwork/Mumi with some details for the submitter, something to tell you if they have commit access, they've had a few patches merged, or if this is the first patch they've submitted... <roptat>civodul, but that would rebuild guix with that other guile, no? ***j is now known as jess
<joshuaBPMan>cbaines: I'm all for that! We could have little badges: this person helped write a blog post. This person wrote a service definition. It would be a way to motivate and encourage users to contribute! <cbaines>In this instance though, I'm thinking about patch review, so it would be helpful to know if they're a committer, as then I'll just say it's OK, and won't push it. Or if they're a first time contributor, I'll know to explain things a little more. <civodul>roptat: we could just define a variant of haunt with guile-3.0-latest as an input <joshuaBPMan>cbaines...hmmmm maybe I've got a project to start working on then for guix... <cbaines>joshuaBPMan, I think what you're describing would probably work for the simpler use case I have in mind as well <zimoun>civodul: about the website, I am not sure to understant what is the issue <zimoun>what I was doing before (sources.json) raises a lot of warning and I do not see what have changed since then <civodul>zimoun: i guess it's the .go file incompatibility between 3.0.4 and 3.0.2 <civodul>(Guix uses the former, Haunt the latter) <zimoun>cbaines: cool for patchwork. How the Under Review state is done? <cbaines>zimoun, manually by someone (me) changing it through the web interface <cbaines>I also added a "Work in progress" state just now, as I wanted to skip over some patches that still need some work <jonsger>uff, that is strange. I'm working on phoc, a compositor. In the test suite it compares a certain state as png with a ping in the source repo. It's almost the same but "our" mouse cursor is a bit different then the one upstream used. So the pngs differ :P <zimoun>civodul: ah yeah. thatâs make sense. :-) Is it not possible to update haunt? <zimoun>civodul: hum? guile-3.0-latest as haunt inputs leads to a lot of failure and the end result is: âsuccessfully builtâ :-) <civodul>jonsger: it's the kind of test suite that's interesting :-) <zimoun>civodul: is it expected: âguix environment --ad-hoc haunt --with-input=haunt=guile@3.0.4 -- haunt -hâ that returns âno hauntâ *zimoun is puzzled by transformations <civodul>zimoun: it's not haunt that you want to replace by guile <civodul>it's guile@3.0.2 that you want to replace by guile@3.0.4 <civodul>but if you try that, that'll rebuild the world
