<codemac>I'm not sure how to solve this guix pull no code for (json) problem I'm having with the guix install image <codemac>I'm trying to create a virtualbox image to play with guix <davexunit>codemac: you'll have to build guix from a git checkout <codemac>Was the 0.7 download the incorrect download? <davexunit>but there's some bumps in the road to upgrade. <codemac>So what does guix pull really do then? Maybe I misunderstand it <davexunit>`guix pull' does a git pull to get the latest code and then builds it. <codemac>ah, so old guix isn't perfectly compatible with new guix as it must be able to build new guix with old guix? <codemac>and a git checkout would at least let me use a new guix to pull the new guix? <codemac>don't worry, I did my time getting archlinux off the ground, guix seems pretty interesting. Due to my recently disenfranchisement from systemd, guix seemed like a fun place to play :) <davexunit>thanks for your patience and trying things out <codemac>hm. so I have this boot image of guix.. is there a way to move the /gnu/store onto another partition so my /root stops filling up before I can install git? :P <davexunit>hmmm, not quite sure how to configure it from the install image <davexunit>when compiling from source, there's a configure flag to specify the store directory <codemac>Well, there is some rough edges here, obviously moving the store directory away before symlinking on top of it doesn't work very well... <jxself>mark_weaver: Yay, new IceCat already - 31.2.0. <bavier>Steap_: would you mind if I push some changes to lint? <Steap_>bavier: you may want to email teh aptches first :) <bavier>I changed some "trivial" things, but also wanted to add a few checks <bavier>are we intentional not warning about empty synopses and descriptions? *alezost agrees that it would be better to warn about empty synopses and descriptions <Steap_>bavier: I think so, cuz that might happen <bavier>to clarify: you think we shouldn't warn when they're empty? <jmd>I want one file to be excluded from 'patch-shebang. Is there an easy way to do that? <bavier>jmd: the current method is usually to 'unpatch' the shebang <jmd>Is there a function to do that or must I do it myself? <bavier>I think it's a manual operation at this point <bavier>see the definition of automake, e.g. <bavier>sharutils, or source-highlight might be better examples <davexunit>yay, my minetest patch has been accepted! minetest on guix will soon be a thing! <davexunit>jmd: it's a free software minecraft-like game <Iloiny>would guix conflict with apt-get? <davexunit>guix installed software is completely isolated. <Iloiny>shame debian hasn't got a guix package <davexunit>well, we're still in alpha so it makes sense :) <davexunit>when guix is more stable, I'm sure we can get it in debian.
