<civodul>14 people, i think that's a new record <Steap>who are the bots ? gnunet_bot and ... ? <civodul>the second one wishes to remain anonymous, i think <civodul>although anonymity in a group of 15 people is quite hard ;-) <jxself>We just all change our nick to civodul. :) <schjetne>I heard of this from the Parabola mailing list. I can't believe I didn't find out about it now, since I try to remain up to speed on the various GNU projects <civodul>anyway, good that the info propagates <schjetne>It looks really cool, definitely something I'd want to get into. I haven't had time to set it up, I'll see if I can do it this week-end. I'd like to brush up my Scheme too. <civodul>it's supposed to be usable by non-Schemers too, you know ;-) <schjetne>Yes, but the hackability aspect is enticing *jxself ponders civodul's message to gnu-linux-libre <youlysses>schjetne: Obviously, I'm responding a bit late -- But even with no Scheme background, packing is fairly straight-forward. :^) <youlysses>Should we package ttf-fonts all in one file, or? <Steap>youlysses: I think github can generate tarballs though <jxself>Notice the .zip and tar.gz links <youlysses>Well, it looks like I'm going to have to badger davexunit to release an official "release" version by the 30th birthday -- or find a method to grab a .tar from the current repo. Or I guess figure out of guix can handle unzipping. :^P <davexunit>ohhh you want me to release by the GNU 30th birthday. you know, that might be a good goal... :) <youlysses>davexunit: I'm packaging, or at least the beginnings of a package/expression for guile-sdl and guile-2d and I think having a more-or-less "ready release" by the package hack-fest may be nice. :^) <davexunit>is there going to be something going on with guix in cambridge? <davexunit>I'll be there so I definitely want in on any guile related hackathons. <youlysses>davexunit: Possibly? Probably more-so a general GNU birthday bash. Though, there's going to be -- at the very least, an online meet. :^P <hellekin>davexunit: guix is mentioned as "online hackathon"so I guess you can try /join #guix <youlysses>hellekin: davexunit: Well, civdoul plans on having a bootable image by the 28th -- to do a packaging hackathon, from what a recall. :^) <jxself>And hopefully it can become an FSF-endorsed distribution by then, for even more news to share at the event. <davexunit>youlysses: oh neat. will you be physically present? <youlysses>davexunit: I wish... I barely have enough money to make rent, let alone drive and/or fly halfway across the country. :^/ <jxself>I understand that the RMS portion will be streamlined live, so you can still be there virtually. <davexunit>Guix seems to be the only guile project in the hackathon. I guess I could sit at a table with cardboard cutouts of you all. <youlysses>davexunit: Just use my overly cliche, recent mediagoblin submission to keep you company... <davexunit>I made a minor contribution to mediagoblin once, I could join their group. <hellekin>davexunit, youlysses: civodul sent an email regarding the hackathon. I can share parts before it's formalized: <hellekin>For Guix, a bug that we have is that pre-built binaries downloaded from <hellekin>hydra.gnu.org are not cryptographically signed. *davexunit needs to install guix and start playing around with it. <hellekin>So the fix is twofold: first Hydra needs to be modified to produce and publish digital signatures; second <hellekin>Guix’s “substituter” (the program that fetches pre-built binaries) needs <hellekin>to actually fetch those signatures and check against them. <davexunit>I would love to do *something* for guix during the hackathon. <youlysses>I'll be back much-latter ... have unexpected errands. Peace people; AFK. <davexunit>youlysses: btw, you will also want to package guile-figl, and perhaps help me pester them to make a 0.1 release with tarball on my behalf. :) <youlysses>davexunit: I'm back for a short-second -- roommate forgot phone, but yeah, I started the template for such-a thing before I initially left -- that would be great though. <youlysses>Ok, should really be gone for 4 to 8 hours now ... o/
