<rgc>I'm trying to install my first package with 'guix package -i lua' , and although the build succeeds, no link is created in ~/.guix-profile . the link should be created automatically? or I'm supposed to create it manually? <zerwas>rgc: It should be created automatically in ~/.guix-profile/bin <zerwas>rgc: did you do sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/var/nix/profiles/per-user/rgc ? <rgc>and change the owner accordingly <zerwas>I'm just a user myself. Looks like no dev is available at the moment. <rgc>yup ... thanks anyway :) <zerwas>rgc: did you invoke "guix package..." as a user? <rgc>as a user, and the daemon with "sudo ./pre-inst-env guix-daemon --build-users-group=guix-builder" <Steap>rgc: so /home/rgc/.guix-profile/ is empty ? <zerwas>but the directory itself was created by Guix automatically? <Steap>rgc: no error message or warning during the installation ? <rgc>oops, I unlinked ~/.guix-profile, and after running daemon again, or something, the link has been recreated and has things inside <rgc>maybe the directory pointed to some old installation of guix I did a week ago <rgc>ook, it works now. I'll try to trace what made this thing happen.... anyway... I think I have my first recipe working :) ***BlueT_ is now known as 92AAAUCMT
***Steap is now known as 45PABB6DG
<jmd>In the chroot jail, "rsh localhost" fails. <jmd>I thought that localhost access was allowed. *** changes topic to 'GNU Guix --- http://gnu.org/s/guix/ --- 0.5 is out!'
<viric_>freenode has been a lot of hours under ddos <civodul>i gave my talk with a brand new demo ;-) <civodul>and i failed to get in the room for the NixOS one <civodul>viric_: yeah, and like 20 people were unable to get in <civodul>it was less crowded for mine, i'm jealous ;-) <civodul>but i think Sat. everything was really packed <viric_>you have lots of people behind nixos these days :) <civodul>apparently there were a lot of people for the NixOS dinner <civodul>jmd: so i saw you posted interesting patches! <rgc>hi. I wrote my first guix recipe (luajit) and it has mit license, but I don't see a helper for mit license. Is it just because nothing MIT has been packaged yet, or you use another name for it (my license knowledge == 0 )? or there's some concern against mit packages? <civodul>rgc: check guix/licenses.scm, it's actually called "x11" (to avoid confusion) <civodul>no problem with MIT/X11 packages of course, they're free software <rgc>yup, that's what I thought, but didn't know X11 was that related to MIT license <jmd>There's also x11-style <rgc>civodul: how was the talk in fosdem? I missed this fosdem :/ <rgc>btw, I was explaining the basic concepts behind guix, and some osX guys told me that homebrew works like this also. is it true, or I just explained it badly? <jmd>I was also trying to explain about atomic commits and purely functional systems like nix and aegis to some colleagues. <jmd>They reckoned that gerrit does it too. <civodul>i think Nix and Guix are the only systems taking this purely functional approach <civodul>but there are similarities with things like Stow or GoboLinux, for instance <civodul>that's pretty much the same idea it seems <civodul>but these two target different applications, IIRC <civodul>jmd: isn't Gerrit a patch review thing? <jmd>pwd is in coreutils? <viric_>I wonder how many lines long is gnu's pwd <rgc>or they don't know exactly how homebrew works :D. nah, but they told me they use also this kind of 'store' and symlink to one version or the other, allowing easy rollbacks at least <civodul>or maybe i don't know either, who knows ;-)
