<PurpleSym>zimoun: The incoming traffic to guix-science from cnrs.fr are probably you guys? :)

<zimoun>PurpleSym: hey! yeah probably. Cool! How do you see the traffic ?

<PurpleSym>zimoun: GitHub provides them: https://6xq.net/paste/screenshot-guix-science.png (https://github.com/guix-science/guix-science/graphs/traffic)

<PurpleSym>(Not sure if you can see them as an org member.)

<zimoun>oh cool, I did know this feature

<civodul>heh fun :-)

<civodul>this reproducibility workshop we're having is pretty exciting!

<civodul>there were ~80 people yesterday, 65 now

<zimoun>efraim: I have seen you pushed Julia packages, cool! Do you use Julia ?

<efraim>zimoun: not much, I'm guixifying this project https://github.com/sens/visuals

<efraim>I figured starting with the Julia dependencies first would be easiest, then I'd wrap the whole thing in a container

<efraim>I have about another 70 packages so far

<zimoun>efraim: ah cool! You have already packages this 70 packages or WIP?

<efraim>some are WIP, probably more than half just need some clean-up work before upstreaming

<efraim>here's what I had at the beginning of the day

<efraim> https://git.genenetwork.org/guix-bioinformatics/guix-bioinformatics/src/branch/master/gn/packages/julia.scm

<efraim>of course that time it didn't paste :/

<zimoun>oh neat, you have julia-documenter. I have been too lazy to package it. :-)

<zimoun>do you it by “hand“? Or do you have kind-of “importer”?

<zimoun>because I am trying to have a Julia importer and piouf! boring… :-)

<efraim>all by hand. I search for julia-<packagename> or PackageName.jl and normally get lucky

<efraim>oh yeah, documenter had some cyclical dependencies, I must've figured something out but i'll need to trace through it again to delete the unneeded ones

<zimoun>yeah me too, but the dependencies sometimes lead you really far from the initial package. ;-)

<efraim>sortingalgorithms and statsbase sorted itself when I packaged sortingalgorithms@1

<zimoun>yeah, and I do not know how Pkg manage that.

<efraim>I'm sure they skip the tests, that's how I made it work in the end

<efraim>or precompiled packages to break it at some point

<efraim>do you find the julia tests run slowly?

<efraim>they all seem to be single threaded

<zimoun>yeah, the test suites are really slow. Always using only one core, at least each time I am checking

<zimoun>efraim: about test, precompilation and friend, this bug#48238 <http://issues.guix.gnu.org/48238> is really annoying

<civodul>zimoun: hey!

<civodul>i pushed edits to the 1.3.0 announcement for hpc.guix.info

<civodul>should we go ahead and push right now?

<zimoun>civodul: LGTM! :-)

<zimoun>I note you do not like my «It extends and simplify the use of [`guix -repl`]» ;-)

<civodul>zimoun: yes, i wasn't sure what it meant or what the message was

<civodul>let's push it tomorrow at a better time :-)

<zimoun>ok :-)

<zimoun>civodul: let synchronize the push with a message on guix-science. :-)
