<davexunit>I've got some pid problems.

<davexunit>I call clone() to create a new pid namespace...

<davexunit>then I fork via primitive-fork

<davexunit>and (pk 'pid (getpid)) in the new process

<davexunit>I expect the pid to be 1

<davexunit>the parent process is *not* pid 1, as expected.

<davexunit>creating a new pid namespace within a process does not make it pid 1.

<davexunit>the first child process becomes pid 1.

<davexunit>if I inspect /proc/1/cmdline and /proc/2/cmdline I can see that they are the same

<davexunit>my expectation is that a fork + exec would give me a process with pid 1

<linas>paroneayea part of guile-dbi maintenance that would make it easier is to move it to github

<paroneayea>I hate github

<linas>yeah, why?

<paroneayea>linas: it's proprietary, centralized, and some other things

<linas>yeah, its proprietary, and that's bad

<linas>but the user interface is the best out there.

<linas>well, but reports are ok not great, and tthe wikis suck bad

<linas>but wow, the ese of use is fantastic

<linas>I mean I wish someone at saannah cared that much

<davexunit>good morning guilers

<paroneayea>davexunit: not saying we'd want to use a js based database, but you'll probably find the ideas behind https://github.com/substack/forkdb interesting

<paroneayea>forking content-addressed append-only historical key/value blob store over leveldb

<paroneayea>won't be nice if your database gets spammed though :)

<davexunit>paroneayea: hmm interesting

<davexunit>though I don't know what use-cases such a thing would have

<paroneayea>so there's two guile-gdbm implementations?

<paroneayea>that may make packaging for guix confusing

<paroneayea>I think I'm going to call ijp's guile-gdbm-ffi

<paroneayea>amirouche: ping

<ajnirp>what's the standard guile way to unit test your functions?

<ajnirp>s/standard/idiomatic

<davexunit>ajnirp: guile comes with SRFI-64, which provides a testing API

<ajnirp>i'll take a look. thank you, davexunit!

<civodul>ajnirp: Guix uses SRFI-64 under tests/, if you want to see what it's like

<ajnirp>beats reading the docs :) thanks civodul.
