<civodul>howdy zimoun & all!

<zimoun>civodul: I am happy to schedule a lot of packages to SWH :-)

<zimoun>The 1200 rate limit really helps.

<civodul>zimoun: oh nice! you were able to come up with a list of missing sources?

<zimoun>civodul: for now, I am blindly submitting the missing ones.

<zimoun>I will try to come with scripts for automatic check. Do not hold your breath, I have too much on my plate these days. :-)

<zimoun>civodul, under disarchive.guix.gnu.org, can I check a specific checksum? Or how can I download the database without downloading all the derivations?

<zimoun>For instance, I would like to check « Disarchive entry refers to non-existent SWH directory 'aeae11cb3c33ab33374e222dc3bdf17039808a5b'»

<civodul>zimoun: you can go to https://disarchive.guix.gnu.org/sha256/HASH, where HASH is the hex-encoded hash of the tarball

<civodul>as returned by "guix hash -f hex foo.tar.gz"

<civodul>but look, you can get a local copy by running "./sync-disarchive-db.scm"

<civodul>it's pretty fast!

<civodul>well, that only gives you the current db, so potentially it lacks older tarballs

<zimoun>civodul: thanks for the explanations. I am doing. :-)

<zimoun>civodul: considering the recent discussion about ceph and qemu, could we imagine a transformation to remove a patch? Something as ’without-patch’? Because it is annoying to create a revert patch to remove a patch from ’origin’. WDYT?

<civodul>zimoun: yes, we could do that

<civodul>i'd rather wait until we have a second user asking for it, though :-)

<civodul>that said it's not much code

<rekado_>zimoun: sorry it took me so long to take care of 51169

<rekado_>I’ve been fighting with my Guix checkout after pulling from core-updates-frozen and I had been working with a separate checkout (without worktrees) that I didn’t want to switch between ‘master’ and ‘core-updates-frozen’ while working on this.

<rekado_>will look at it tomorrow!

<rekado_>bah, i’m still having problems compiling Guix…

<civodul>hi!

<civodul>does "make clean-go" help?

<civodul>there are definitely ABI differences between the two branches

<rekado_>no

<rekado_>C++ errors

<rekado_>cannot build nix/nix-daemon/guix_daemon-nix-daemon.o

<rekado_>I already wiped everything with make clean, make distclean, etc

<rekado_>no idea what’s wrong

<rekado_>I’m running this in ‘guix environment --pure guix’ (using core-updates-frozen), but I have the same errors without --pure and with Guix from master.
