<bubu^>but but there is no mention that the system administrator has to create the directory in /usr/local/var/nix and change the ownership of the directory

<bubu^>for the profile

<civodul>currently it says: "It must be created by ‘root’, with USER as the owner. When it does not

<civodul>exist, ‘guix package’ emits an error about it."

<bubu^>had to kill guix-daemon, killed my memory :(

<civodul>hm?

<bubu^>it was using more than 500 Mo for "guix-package -A"

<bubu^>and started to swap on the hard drive

<bubu^>ok fine then for the documentation, I was too quick to read and/or expected this to be specified before

<bubu^>but that was my mistake

<civodul>bubu^: there's a bug in Guile < 2.0.9 where omitting the optional arg for -A or -I does that

<bubu^>:o ! must be this

<civodul>so you need to use "guix-package -A ''"

<civodul>or upgrade to Guile 2.0.9 :-)

<bubu^>btw I'm compiling guile-2.0.9 now

<bubu^>yes

<civodul>great

<civodul>Steap: it seems that CMake has test failures

<Steap>civodul: then I think we should remove it and hope people will stop using it.

<civodul>ahah, you know how to talk to me ;-)

<civodul>still...

<Steap>I'll push Python and --upgrade

<Steap>then I'll take a look at it

<bubu^>does guix-package -A fetches the package list from some mirror ?

<bubu^>(guix only proposes "old" guile-2.0.7 !)

<civodul>bubu^: no, it takes it from the list of gnu/packages files available locally

<civodul>2.0.9 is one week old, BTW :-)

<civodul>(and 2.0.8 never existed)

<bubu^>yes, but the thing is, if you want to make some "distribution" package manager, I really think it is vital to have means to keep upstream releases up to date and propose them as quickly as possible

<civodul>yes, of course

<civodul>but you're using 0.1

<bubu^>(doesn't mean to force for update before some tests, though some "masks" maybe)

<civodul>now there's a "guix pull" command to retrieve the list of packages

<bubu^>I know :)

<bubu^>it's in an early stage

<bubu^>but i'm so frustrated with package manager atm that i'm a bit raging

<bubu^>going for some sleep then

<civodul>g'night!

<Steap>civodul: can we see the logs on Hydra ? :p

<civodul>still not :-/

<civodul>i did spend a bit of time investigating, but failed

<civodul>i'd have to try again

<civodul>grr

<Steap>Well, then it's compilation time!

<Steap>Building binutils

<Steap>I might have gc'ed too much

<Steap>I ran guix gc /nix/store/path/to/cmake

<Steap>Not sure why it ended up deleting lots of files in /nix/store :/

<civodul>Steap: it's "guix gc --delete /nix/store/..." :-)

<civodul>maybe that should be improved though

<Steap>Usage: guix gc [OPTION]... PATHS...

<Steap>is a bit unclear

<civodul>oh yes that's weird
