<civodul>you seem to be experiencing networking issues my dear *Steap thinks we've lost civodul <Steap>Firefox to stay true to Free Software and have around 0.00001 market share, thus making Free browsers not used by the common folks <Steap>or Firefox saying "well, we're fucked" but allowing you to not use the DRM-stuff <Steap>It's quite easy for the FSF to look down upon Mozilla on this one <Steap>But I guess that as usual, the FSF describes the world as it should be, and others try to make it happen <civodul>indeed, the FSF is fighting a fight for user freedom <Steap>does the FSF plan to go live on a deserted island and have the Internet repalced by a LAN connecting their MIPS-based laptops ? <Steap>Or haven't they given up on the real world yet ? <civodul>don't be tongue-in-cheek, that's no helpful ;-) <civodul>the FSF's machine run only free software, for instance <Steap>It amazes me that they can't see that the average Joe is not aware/does not care about Freedom/privacy etc. <Steap>and that we have to use other strategies to get people to use Free Software <Steap>hey, I used Firefox and VLC before knowing about Free Software <Steap>because "hell yeah, those are much better than IE and the Windows Media Player" <jmd>Steap: I think the FSF is well aware of that. That is why the FSF exists. <civodul>and other organizations like FSF Europe, April, etc. etc. <civodul>perhaps you should send a note to the list? <antono>it only not reflects recent change to /gnu namespace <antono>can we create debian repository for guix on gnu.org ? <antono>i mean its not hard to create repository tree <civodul>i think it wouldn't be appropriate, plus i wouldn't even know how to host it <civodul>oh you mean a repo for the package's source? <antono>no, i mean something pluggable to debian's /etc/sources.list <antono>to make guix apt-get installable <antono>i'll try to make repository on launchpad.net <antono>they will not permit /gnu or /nix in the root <civodul>maybe they'd refuse due to FHS violations, i guess <antono>i taked about this in irc one year ago <antono>it will be hard even with store moved to /var/ namespace <civodul>you could also provide a home-built .deb; that's easier than providing a real repo, i guess <antono>it would be nice to have enable/disable actions for guix in hybrid environments <antono>scenario when i want to use ls from coreutils provided by my instead of coreutils from guix <antono>but probably it should be outside of guix <civodul>yeah, i'd say it's up to you to define PATH the way you want it <civodul>i don't know how we could help with it <civodul>for the other env. vars there's "guix package --search-paths", which helps a bit, i think
