<efraim>almost there on a slurm set of services! slurmd+slurmctld+slurmdbd fail to start, but when started manually with the flags I gave them in their services I get 'srun --label --ntasks=1 hostname' to print the hostname <efraim>I'm getting around the config files by using a simple-service for etc-service-type and plopping the config files in place <efraim>there's so many options, and some change by version, I don't see doing much past "and here's your text field, fill it up!" <rekado_>zimoun: I’m officially back to work today, so I’d like to finish the R upgrades soon. Is there some work-in-progress that you have been working on? <rekado_>do you happen to know if there are any security certifications that Guix could undergo to get a marketable stamp of approval? <rekado_>our research group has been thinking about advertising source-to-binary transparency and container provenance; this is pretty important to become confident about suitability for data privacy sensitive applications <civodul>there was a discussion with the usual suspects in .fr about making a manifesto on reproducibility and what it entails <civodul>that's not really a "marketable stamp", but it could be a step in that direction <rekado_>yes, any “gimmick” would help, I think <rekado_>just like the very mention of research institutes on the Guix HPC website helps lend a little bit of authority to the project itself <rekado_>it’s been frustrating to me how reliably the community keeps falling back onto the lowest common denominator: Conda and Docker <rekado_>our message has gotten through enough to make those suggesting these things explain themselves, but it’s not enough <rekado_>(like, you’ll hear people say “I know that it’s not the most advanced in reproducibility, etc, but it’s good enough for all cases I care about”) *rekado_ applies Roel’s upgrade to the rstudio and rstudio-server packages <civodul>i think every concrete demonstration helps <civodul>also debunking myths (currently i'm focusing again on the perceived "performance issues") <efraim>I think the log file killing my slurmd process :/ <efraim>when the logfile exists starting slurmd removes it and I get a 'In procedure fport_write: Bad file descriptor' error <efraim>always fun when you have to carefully parse man pages to figure it out <efraim>Run slurmd in the foreground. Error and debug messages will be copied to stderr. <efraim>slurmd and shepherd both tried to take control of the log file <rekado_>civodul: no news from birdsite support <rekado_>I wrote them once more but I only received their automatic email replies <civodul>i guess we should get in touch with people in charge of such initiatives <rekado_>this currently only applies to ACM publications; do you mean to talk to them about something wider in scope? <civodul>we could talk to the ACM about ways they could recommend functional deployment tools like Guix as part of their reproducible research policy <civodul>it'd "only" apply to ACM publications, but that's already a lot <civodul>similarly, if there are societies in other domaines that have a RR policy, we should talk to them <civodul>it's an open discussion forum about RR <efraim>good news! I'm bad at match-lambda. forgot to include the skipped variables. just have a remaining issue with slurmstepd and changing directories ***nckx is now known as ncksneekx
