<civodul>rekado: so you have people using conda from Guix? :-) <civodul>(just saw you updated the conda package) <rekado>I don’t know why people even bother, but I think it’s right at the intersection of convenience and habit. <civodul>it must bring new opportunities for breakage, no? <civodul>like mixing software not only from CentOS and Guix, but also CONDA <rekado>people who install conda from Guix usually are pretty set in their tracks to use conda environments exclusively. <rekado>the colleague who motivated the upgrade only ever uses Guix with “guix environment -l guix.scm” for our PiGx projects. <rekado>but mixing software is a very common source of problems <rekado>my colleague set up rstudio from Docker (because he was blissfully ignorant of my work on rstudio…) and now people try to use their CentOS-built R packages inside of the Docker environment, and when that doesn’t work they try to install missing libraries with Guix …. <civodul>do you give training sessions to try and channel people? <rekado>I used to, but package management doesn’t seem to be a topic people are enthusiastic about. <dstolfa>civodul: i bisected a bit yesterday, seems like the issue might be with an update to jupyter-core <dstolfa>rekado: do you know anything about the internals of jupyter btw? <civodul>dstolfa: ah ha! thanks for the update, i'm planning to take a look today <civodul>i hope i won't have to dive into protocol details <dstolfa>civodul: i hope so too. i sent the commit range across which i notice the problem, and it's just updates to python stuff <dstolfa>it seems like something changed... hopefully nothing too serious <maxwell_TGAP>does anyone know if jupyter-lab is avalible in any package, i cant seem to find it <maxwell_TGAP>does anyone know if jupyter-lab is avalible in any package, i cant seem to find it <rekado>how does jupyterlab differ from just the jupyter server?
