<civodul>'lo Guixers!

<ashmew2>Hello

<ashmew2>Hello CaptainLex , im in India.

<ashmew2>:P

<ashmew2>CaptainLex, what about you??

<ashmew2>hmm , i tried to do a guix-package install gcc.

<ashmew2>it just shows 1069 operations now

<ashmew2>no useful info there.

<ashmew2>oh shit.

<civodul>"guix-package --install gcc --dry-run" should tell you what it's going to do

<ashmew2>i tried guix-package -i gcc

<ashmew2>right now

<ashmew2>well, a dumb(very?) question maybe, but the packages that are being "installed", dont you need to run/execute them? how do you do that under Guix?

<civodul>ashmew2: not sure what you mean

<civodul>i think the manual describes the basic "modus operandi"

<ashmew2>errr

<ashmew2>well, Guix will only be downloading/installing packages , right

<ashmew2>not running them EVER.

<civodul>it's up to you to decide whether to run what you install

<civodul>i don't get it

<add^_>ashmew2: think apt

<add^_>But functional

<civodul>yes

<add^_>apt doesn't run any programs, it just installes/removes/whatever them.

<add^_>On another note, I really dislike translating C++ to Scheme. :-P

<add^_>I don't know either well enough I suppose :-/

<ashmew2>add^_, i know what a package manager is.

<add^_>So what are you asking?

<add^_>Or maybe, why?

<ashmew2>i was thinking more along the lines of if we need to execute programs after installing them ever.

<ashmew2>add^_, :P

<ashmew2>civodul, yeah i get it now :P

<add^_>guix with-command && run-whatever?

<ashmew2>no

<ashmew2>guix-package install WeaponX

<ashmew2>WeaponX finished installing, should i run it for you ? /*Calls WeaponX.bin*/

<add^_>eeh

<add^_>Sounds like the "Do you want to run it?" in Windows.

<add^_>Then I know what you mean. Sounds pretty unnecessary though.. IMO.

<ashmew2>exactly !

<ashmew2>:P

<ashmew2>yes it does.

<add^_>heh

<ashmew2>i was just asking , was thinking about something.

<add^_>oh?

<ashmew2>yes :P

<ashmew2>add^_, you working on something?

<add^_>Same thing as yesterday, I just need to redo most of it..

<add^_>Mostly because I didn't use my brain when I first wrote the code.

<add^_>At all.

<add^_>Or so it seems at least..

<ashmew2>Comments are your friend lmao.

<ashmew2>nice.

<add^_>Well, when you haven't really done anything correctly, it doesn't really help.

<ashmew2>yeah agreed.

<add^_>^^

<add^_>I wonder how I should translate C++ classes to Scheme <whatever>..

<add^_>Oh well, wrong channel for that.

<ashmew2>yeah, me learning scheme too.

<add^_>nice

<add^_>which implementation?

<ashmew2>MIT/GNU Scheme.

<ashmew2>what about you?

<add^_>Guile

<ashmew2>oh yeah that seems a logical choice

<ashmew2>:D

<ashmew2>Guile it is :D

<add^_>^^

<ashmew2>::P

<add^_>So, what's up?

<ashmew2>add^_, nothing much man, reading SICP.

<ashmew2>add^_, did you translate the classes yet ? XD

<add^_>nope, went away for a while

<add^_>SICP is awesome :-D

<ashmew2>add^_, oh alright

<ashmew2>add^_, so, you an undergraduate?

<add^_>Not going to school at all :-P

<add^_>Haven't been to University if that's what your asking

<add^_>We don't have that kind of School system here though. Except university, we have quite different names on the school-system-

<add^_>.*

<add^_>Hmm

<ashmew2>we have school from Grade I to Grade XII here, then whatever degree you wanna pursue

<add^_>:-)

<ashmew2>hello

<ashmew2>does the GSOC application have to be day-specific?

<ashmew2>You'll do what on what date, i mean.

<civodul>ashmew2: i think Google expects them by May 3rd

<ashmew2>yes, im confused what to put on my proposal for Guix.

<ashmew2>Wow, in love with Scheme already...damn

<civodul>see https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2013/help_page#8._When_can_I_apply_for_Google_Summer_of

<ashmew2>civodul, yes i know the dead line date.

<civodul>ok

<ashmew2>civodul, i was talking about the application templaye

<ashmew2>template*

<civodul>ashmew2: honestly, all in all, i'm not sure it would be fruitful to work together on the project you initially mentioned

<ashmew2>civodul, initially mentioned on the mailing list ?

<civodul>yes, the one about Emacs

<civodul>dunno

<ashmew2>i just read your name backwards! :P

<ashmew2>civodul, you mean the package management through emacs?

<ashmew2>any specific reasons for that?

<civodul>yes

<civodul>well, i'll reply by mail if you don't mind

<ashmew2>civodul, yeah no issues.

<civodul>because IRC makes it easy to fail to convey an idea ;-)

<ashmew2>haha yeah , happens :)

<ashmew2>so , you have anything in mind i should work for ? how about the UI similar to package.el?

<civodul>that needs more thought

<civodul>your input is welcome, too

<ashmew2>i always wanted to make an OS, Guix just fits in right there.

<ashmew2>:D

<ashmew2>I'll wait then, not submit an application yet.

<civodul>ok

<ashmew2>i liked the concept of adding dummy users to a build group and letting the daemon use it, provides something very similar to threads in a way.
