<Steap>guix is installed in /usr/local <Steap>but the packages installed from guix are in /gnu/store <Steap>well, Guix is a regular piece of software on your distribution <xisiqomelir>ok and then "guix system reconfigure" is not updating me to 0.8 <davexunit>xisiqomelir: to install guix into the store you need to do something like: ./pre-inst-env guix package -i guix <davexunit>the pre-inst-env script allows you to easily work with your development version of guix. <davexunit>ah wait, I don't think that will do it, sorry. <xisiqomelir>I just want it to be the version that is invoked with bare "guix" after I guix system reconfigure <davexunit>unless you install it to /usr/ or whatever and add /usr/bin to your $PATH. <davexunit>but that won't be a reproducible setup since it's not specified in your operating-system declaration. <xisiqomelir>where do I specify the location of guix in config.scm? <davexunit>I recommend keeping your development guix separate from system-wide guix. <davexunit>you can install bleeding edge packages via your dev guix <davexunit>you could write your own guix package that points to a later git commit, but guix will have to build it, it can't use the version you've already built. <mark_weaver>one important point: on a standalone guix system, if you compile guix from git, it's important to use "--prefix=". <mark_weaver>the reason is that the sqlite database that keeps track of which packages are in the store is in $PREFIX. <mark_weaver>to be clear, I mean that the prefix has to be the empty string. <mark_weaver>the reason I mention this is that I see from the chat logs xisiqomelir built from git within his standalone guix system with --prefix=/usr/local, and that's no good. <mark_weaver>well, it means that it will look in /var/guix for the sqlite database, which is the important thing.. even if it's never installed. <mark_weaver>but if you were to run "make install", the binaries would go into /bin <mark_weaver>not just the sqlite database, but the user profiles, gc roots, etc.. all of the important state. <mark_weaver>so xisiqomelir needs to be told that he should recompile his git guix with --prefix= <davexunit>I'll point xisiqomelir to the chat logs if they come back online *tadni_ has no idea how to proceed with font-proggy.scm <tadni_>mark_weaver: There is no build system needed, just files I need to move somewhere. <mark_weaver>tadni_: see ttf-dejavu in gnu/packages/fonts.scm for an example. <tadni_>mark_weaver: It's a bitmap font though, wouldn't it be different? <davexunit>tadni_: I think the key point is that you should the trivial-build-system with a #:builder argument that does the right thing. *tadni_ will need to look into the documentation more, he guesses. Really, I think proggy-clean might be the one thing that is stopping me from having a complete desktop via guile-wm. <tadni_>Emacs and Conkeror is there. :^) <taylanub>I should work on a fully free version of mpv; it has a couple nice things lacking in MPlayer <tadni_>Also I need to figure out how to set colemak in both the console and xorg. Too, wpa_supplicant ... but it's getting there. <taylanub>FFmpeg is in guix, but none of MPlayer/mplayer2/mpv are there <taylanub>tadni_: you can downlaod a linux-tty colemak from colemak.com <taylanub>packaging it would be optimal of course :) <taylanub>oh! looks like I didn't check after updating :) <tadni_>taylanub: Thanks, I'll surely look into it! <tadni_>setxkbmap doesn't seem to work in the distro though. <tadni->Hm, I was going a clean install of GNU on my test box and now it appears like initializing good with configure.acme is actually doing anything.
