*handheldCar installs emacs. ***dueno_ is now known as dueno
<handheldCar>Good morning. I had to 'chown 1001 /nix/store;chmod 1775 /nix/store'. never could run emacs. Trying to install it again said, "1 package in profile". Daemon output said, "560 operations". <civodul>handheldCar: so you managed to install Emacs in your profile, right? <civodul>the output of the daemon is not useful, don't worry about that <handheldCar>What should I have done to run it? I'm starting over. <civodul>well apparently you did everything right since you managed to install Emacs, no? <jasjsadw>handheldCar: still interested in trying emacs? <jasjsadw>handheldCar: you can check whether it's in your profile by typing guix package -l <jasjsadw>if it's there, add your profile to PATH, like so: export PATH=/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/guix-profile/bin:$PATH <civodul>jasjsadw, handheldCar: it's "guix package -I", actually <civodul>handheldCar: the manual mention the --search-paths option <civodul>also, look for ".guix-profile" in the manual <jasjsadw>handheldCar: see invoking guix-package in the manual <jasjsadw>"Thus, users can add `$HOME/.guix-profile/bin' to their `PATH' environment variable, and so on." <jasjsadw>I think it should be mentioned earlier, but "Installation" doesn't seem to fit. *handheldCar decided to start over. <jasjsadw>civodul: I'm having problems with geiser. I have to compile /each/ guix file with C-c C-k to make other commands (like M-.) work. <civodul>i doesn't know about files until they are compiled <civodul>jasjsadw: but usually, compiling one module leads to the compilation of a bunch of other modules <civodul>so you don't have to manually visit every single file <jasjsadw>civodul: this happens even if I run make <jasjsadw>can it be connected with the version of emacs? <jasjsadw>when I tried it, I wasn't using the latest version <jasjsadw>civodul: I'm looking into edsl. what did you mean when you said that 'source' should accept lists. (source (list 1 2)) works. what should be changed then? <civodul>jasjsadw: i think there's the assumption somewhere that 'source' is either a file name, or an origin <jasjsadw>civodul: ah, you probably mean package-source-derivation, right? ***teythoon_ is now known as teythoon
***zooko` is now known as zooko
<alip2890>interesting. php tests rushing by with almost all failing <civodul>davexunit: i think that's because we're on alpha.gnu.org <civodul>when we switch to ftp.gnu.org, the script will pick it up <mark_weaver>he also missed MIG, Mach, and Hurd, which mentioned in their release announcements a problem with uploading: "As soon as upload issues have been resolved, it may be downloaded from <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnumach/>" <civodul>but apparently the upload dates from Oct. 1st, which may have been slightly too late <civodul>BTW, strictly speaking, we still miss a glibc tarball if we want to build the Hurd <youlysse`>I'm assuming it's just me, but is the build server down? For everything, it just keeps saying the "sever is unresponsive". :^/ <civodul>that shouldn't affect substitutions, though <youlysse`>civodul: Maybe it's just my new install, though this was the first time I was ever able to pass the check (everyother time it'd fail on testing download) -- I decided on switching to trisquel, last-night. <civodul>when you have test failures, please report them to bug-guix@gnu.org <civodul>it's usually a sign that something's wrong <youlysse`>civodul: Noted; That being said, again, this is the first-time I haven't had an issue here, and it seems to be where I'm having "the" issue. <handheldCar>I might like to contribute a Conkeror package. Where would I start? <youlysse`>handheldCar: In-packaging in-general, or relative to Conkeror? <civodul>handheldCar: Conkeror depends on Xulrunner, so that's where you would start <civodul>handheldCar: Andreas has tried to package GNU IceCat (which provides xulrunner), so you might want to check with him the current status <civodul>i would recommend an easier package to get started, though *youlysse` wonders how hard it'd be to, in guix import librejs into conkeror. <youlysse`>civodul: On my orginal patch, for gl.scm -- checking out the mailing list, there was a complaint that it was building the .go in the top-level directory of the guix folder... running it, I'm not having any such problem? <civodul>youlysse`: no, there was a complaint that the patch added gl.scm in the top-level dir, AIUI <civodul>so if that is fixed, now is the time to re-post :-) <youlysse`>I'll try generating a patch again -- but from what I can see, it looks as-if it should've placed it in /gnu/packages/ to start. :^P
