<nobody_>geiser keeps locking up..
<nobody_>at least I think it's geiser
***nobody_ is now known as shanemikel
***shanemikel is now known as Guest34382
<shanemikel>how would I do something like this: http://lpaste.net/2428228080838377472 ... run the loop, and redefine one of the functions with geiser while the loop was running?
<shanemikel>also, is there something analagous to the scratch buffer for guile?
<daviid>wingo: hello! it would be awesome if you could fix 20093 before 2.1.3
<wleslie>what mind bending bugs are you discovering now daviid?
<daviid>wleslie: this an old bug [1y old]
<wleslie>:/
<wleslie>release checklist should always include 'does David P have any outstanding bugs'
<daviid>:)
<daviid>wleslie: what is your hacking 'domain'?
<wleslie>I do a few things, nothing guile related at the moment. for fun; an IR optimiser, a pypy backend, a program for converting raster audio to notes. for money, fire simulation software for state government.
<daviid>wleslie: oh many things
<daviid>tx
<daviid>wleslie: and wrt guile, what do you use guile for?
<wleslie>I used it for discovering gstreamer and playing with that
<random-nick>why does the repl crash when I hold Control-C?
<wleslie>your clutter bindings look great and I've been meaning to try them, but haven't so far.
<daviid>wleslie: guile-gnome used to have a gstreamer binding, 10y old now, do you write e new binding?
<wleslie>no, used the old one
<wleslie>still have guile 1.8 as my default :P
<random-nick>it seems that holding Ctrl-C interrupts the procedure trying to handle the interrupt?
<daviid>wleslie: thanks! there are wingo's binding, I offered to [try] to maintain and contributed to 2 major clutter release steps, from 1.10 to 1.14.7 now, far from being up-to-date yet, but ...
<daviid>wleslie: 1.8? that is really too bad, why is that?
<daviid>you really should upgrade and besides, guile-gnome, guile-clutter do not work with guile <= 2.0.11, for info
<wleslie>just haven't gotten around to it
<daviid>wleslie: it takes less then 10min to install 2.0.11
<daviid>wleslie: what distro are you on? or maybe it is because of lilypond? 1.8 and 2.0 [as well as 2.2 by the wat] are // installable
<wleslie>the problems I remember having were more related to gstreamer; I ended up rebuilding the entire world when some project wanted a newer version, and now I have no midi support
<wleslie>distro is a mix of debian oldstable and nix
<wleslie>so yes. I should fix things, but I've got a couple of other projects on the tip of the mind at present.
<daviid>wleslie: so you are usng the old guile-gnome gstreamer binding then? [just truing to undrstand, pure curiosity]
<wleslie>yeah
<daviid>ah! incredible :) nonetheless, you should grab guile 2.0.11 and install in /opt [or any where else], it really only takes 10min
<wleslie>what are the new bindings? (gnome gobject) ?
<daviid>wleslie: gstreamer, as clutter and any gnome binding use guile-gnome glib/gobject, which bind 2.10. I don't even know what gstreamer binding we used to bind, I only offered maintaince to guile-gnome [the main branch] and guile-clutter
<daviid>wleslie: I'm working on a GI binding, but it's going to take some time, prob a year before it'll be good enough to auto wrap... then we should be able to wrap new versions of gstreamer
<fhmgufs>daviid: Wow, you're actually working on GI for Guile? Very cool!
<daviid>wleslie: guile-clutter is awesome, let me know when you try it, I can help to get it work, once you have 2.0.11 of course ...
<random-nick>what is clutter?
<daviid>fhmgufs: yes
<wleslie>clutter is kind of like a canvas
<daviid>random-nick: http://www.gnu.org/software/guile-gnome/clutter
<daviid>wleslie: I've just checked out our gstreamer branch and the good news is it compiles fine using guile-gnome 2.16.4
<daviid>fyi, we bind gstreamer 0.9.91 [the latest is 1.8.x]
<paroneayea>hello
<daviid>make checks fails [for guile-gstreamer] with guile trying to compile /bin/bash, does this error rings a bell for someone? I vaguely remember going through this a couple of y ago...
<daviid>;;; WARNING: compilation of /bin/bash failed:
<daviid>;;; ERROR: In procedure read_inner_expression: /bin/bash:8:14: unexpected ")" ...
<daviid>
<wingo>git *still* doesn't work for me. wtfffffffff
<fhmgufs>wingo: The Savannah access? Maybe try http, that's what works for me.
<janneke>wingo: savannah seems to work for me
<janneke>have you tried from another machine?
<fhmgufs>For me neither the git:// nor the ssh:// way works.
<fhmgufs>But http:// is working.
<janneke>ACTION lost email+git access this week until he set: ip li set mtu 1200 dev <mydev>
<wingo>i can't push, is the problem :P
<wingo>are there standard r6rs tests somewhere?
<wingo>ACTION contemplating implementing custom binary i/o ports
<wingo>i would literally release a 2.1.3 tonight if it weren't for the git thing. ffs
<janneke>wingo: fwiw, i can push to git+ssh://git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/lilypond
<wingo>janneke: interesting!
<wingo>i think maybe this is something also related with the hooks
<wingo>which want to send mail
<wingo>but i will try.
<wingo>yeah it's hanging still
<roelj>wingo: I have been able to send a simple mail to myself with the fencepost.gnu.org.
<roelj>wingo: Though I cannot send a message to guix-devel with it.
