<rain1>Hello

<rain1>what is happening with guile-cairo?

<rain1>did wingo become the maintainer?

<rain1>why does -l respect ~/.guile but -s doesn't?

<mark_weaver>iirc, ~/.guile is only loaded when starting the REPL

<rain1>maybe I should be using an environment variable to add to the guile load path rather than ~/.guile

<rain1>that might work better

<mark_weaver>yes

<mark_weaver>GUILE_LOAD_PATH

<mark_weaver>and GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH

<rain1>How do I re-export a symbol? when defining my own module

<mark_weaver>you want to export a binding that you imported?

<rain1>oh there's an extra option #:re-export but it's strange #:export doesn't work

<rain1>yeah

<rain1>and I was wondering what #: is?

<mark_weaver>#:re-export

<mark_weaver>#: introduces a *keyword*, which is similar to a symbol but self-evaluating.

<mark_weaver>i.e. a symbol will evaluate to a variable lookup, but a keyword evaluates to itself without being quoted.

<rain1>thank you :)

<kristofer>what native input will provide autoreconf?

<kristofer>woops

<artyom-poptsov>ACTION just updated Guile-SSH 'master' branch with patches to make it work with libssh 0.7.3

<artyom-poptsov>Hello everybody. I'd appreciate if somebody could test Guile-SSH 'master' with libssh 0.7.3 on his/her beloved GNU/Linux distribution.

<artyom-poptsov>Tests on Gentoo and Arch GNU/Linux seem to run flawlessly though.

<nalaginrut>afternoon guilers~

<mark_weaver>artyom-poptsov: I'll try it on guix

<mark_weaver>artyom-poptsov: on GuixSD on i686 with libssh 0.7.3, Guile-SSH master fails its test suite. I see:

<mark_weaver>../build-aux/test-driver: line 107: 13092 Segmentation fault "$@" > $log_file 2>&1

<mark_weaver>FAIL: tunnel.scm

<mark_weaver>FAIL: dist.scm

<mark_weaver>artyom-poptsov: if you have a working copy of Guix on either x86_64 or i686, I can send you a recipe to reproduce this.

<nalaginrut>mark_weaver: hi mark, is there still problem with the errno patch? I've tested your fixed version, it good enough for me. Do you think it's proper to merge it now? ;-)

<ozzloy> http://www.nongnu.org/skribilo/doc/user-1.html#section4166 i notice it says "meta keyword" and should probably say "meta keywords". i feel a bit silly asking here, but i can't find where to notify someone

<ozzloy>how do i notify, or is it in git? could i write a patch and send it to someone?

<ozzloy>ah, i found the source code

<jmd>I have an alist in a file. What's the easiest way to read it an associate that alist with a symbol?

<wingo>(define my-alist (call-with-input-file "foo.txt" read))

<jmd>Thanks Andy

<ozzloy>it seems like guile and racket are very similar. is that because they're both schemes, or is there overlap in people working on them

<ozzloy>or some other thing

<ozzloy>how do i get a list of skribilo modules?

<wingo>ozzloy: b/c they're both schemes. some user overlap but not much developer overlap

***Korhonen is now known as Bobbejaantje

<nalaginrut>wingo: it seems that 2.1.2 introduced a bug to add a strange postfix while I'm calling datum->syntax

<nalaginrut>it's normal in 2.0

<nalaginrut>wingo: I'm still finding a way how to reproduce it simply

<rain1>Unbound variable: ((#{ g415}#) take #f)

<rain1>how may I interpret this error message?

<wingo>it is a strange message :)

<wingo>how did you get there?

<rain1>its from using the guile repl inside emacs (geiser mode)

<rain1>if I just use the command line I get a different error

<rain1> https://gitlab.com/tampe/attributed-minikanren/tree/master this is the file

<rain1> http://paste.debian.net/403536/

<rain1>thats the error in terminal

<rain1>I wonder if I broke my guile because this program worked before

<rain1>oh i think its working now after i updated

<rain1>Is there a way i could define #s and #u to be my own values?

<rain1>(sort of like #t and #f)

<amz`>IIRC, # is an escape sequence of some sort in Guile, so no. but why would do that, anyway?

<amz`>rain1: ^

<rain1>ah

<rain1>just for terseness

<amz`>you can use % instead

<davexunit>has anyone ever made some kind of custom allocator in guile or any other gc'd language?

<sneek>davexunit, you have 1 message.

<sneek>davexunit, paron_remote says: If you haven't read about the systemd vs docker stuff on lwn.net, I think you'll find it interesting http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/676831/174a9deefa9881cc/

<davexunit>I have a problem that traditionally could be solved with an object pool, but I cannot sacrifice purely functional semantics in doing so.

<davexunit>paroneayea: hehe good timing. I was just checking lwn and saw this. will read.

<davexunit>paroneayea: holy crap. the answer to "who cleans up zombie processes in a Docker container" is "kill it and restart"

<rain1>docker is annoying, you can't run it inside a container

<davexunit>guess this conversation should get moved to #guix

<amz`>davexunit: did you see this https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2016-02/msg00043.html

<davexunit>amz`: yes, but I don't really understand it.

<rain1>hello stis

<stis>hey rain1, thanks for the bug report.

<rain1>i've been tinkering more :) if you're interested/not busy i'll pm you

<stis>please do.

<dsmith-work>Morning Greetings, Guilers

<amz`>hey

<amz`>I think gnu has gitlab instance, do you know where it is?

***dje is now known as xdje

<davexunit>from my searches for "gnu guile" on twitter, I find that the Japanese are among the most interested in Guile.

<paroneayea>davexunit: are they interested in guile the language?

<paroneayea>or Guile the Street Fighter character?

<paroneayea>oh

<paroneayea>gnu guile

<paroneayea>yeah I guess that excludes street fighter!

<davexunit>:)

<daviid>hello guilers

<daviid>this link is broken [Guile's web site] ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guile/

<daviid>or unavailable aybe

<daviid>maybe

<daviid>sneek: last seen rotty

<daviid>hum

<mark_weaver>daviid: FWIW, I have no problem accessing ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guile/

<mark_weaver>where is it linked from Guile's web site?
