<Gooberpatrol66>how do you handle a case where one package needs to write into the directory of another package? <ryanprior>Gooberpatrol66 we patch the package(s) so that they no longer require that. <ryanprior>Gooberpatrol66 somebody might be able to offer a more specific idea if you explain the context of your example :) <Gooberpatrol66>ryanprior: it wants to write into /lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders <Gooberpatrol66>ryanprior: so...i need to make gdk-pixbuf look in a location that webp-loader can write to <ryanprior>I don't know how to handle that kind of case, hopefully somebody who's hit that kind of situation can explain <ryanprior>You can definitely patch webp-loader to write under its own directory, and I might be able to help you do that too. <ryanprior>The part I don't know is how you get gdk-pixbuf to look there, maybe there's a way to get it to put a link somewhere or somthing? Dunno. <KE0VVT>bandali: I don't have a keyboard for the new PC. :-( <bandali>KE0VVT, ah.. that's inconvenient. can you ssh into it and/or use it remotely for the time being? <KE0VVT>bandali: I will be doing an install, etc. <KE0VVT>bandali: It still has Windows on it. <bandali>KE0VVT, ah. maybe you could use an on-screen keyboard? though i'm not sure if the curses-based guix installer has that <KE0VVT>bandali: I've been using on-screen keyboard in Windows 10 to download ISOs. <raghavgururajan>sneek, later tell janneke: Regarding #40753, I accidentally sent the wrong patch that missed some things. So sorry. I have send another patch to the email thread to append the previous commit. Could you please push it as new commit. Thanks! <raghavgururajan>During install phase, I get "mkdir: cannot create directory ‘//etc/spacefm’: Permission denied". <apteryx>seems the sysconfdir is not being set right. The solution depending of the build system. When using the gnu build system it is taken care of via passing --sysconfdir to the configure script, I believe. <apteryx>actually, the gnu build system leaves it alone, but it sets --prefix <apteryx>I think it defaults to '${prefix}/etc' in autoconf generated configure scripts. <raghavgururajan>apteryx Yes, I tried setting sysconfdir to out/etc. But the default sysconfdir in configure script is prefix/etc. But prefix is already set correctly by gnu-build-system. I wonder why it doesn't work without explicitly setting sysconfdir. <apteryx>perhaps a bug in their autotools configs that causes a variable to net be expanded correctly depending on prefix. There was something similar recently in the btrfs-progs package, that was fixed by Marius. You might want to have a look. <rowhit>apteryx: Hi. I am trying to install pyinstaller. I get the following error: "AttributeError: module 'sys' has no attribute '_MEIPASS'". Could you suggest as what may be wrong? <apteryx>rowhit: how? from pip? we do not have a pyinstaller package in Guix yet. <rowhit>apteryx: Thanks a lot for the response. I created a guix package file using guix import pypi -r pyinstaller. <rowhit>apteryx: And then modified it to get all the dependencies. And ran guix package --install-from-file=python-pyinstaller.scm <rowhit>apteryx: I am not sure how to attach the file here. <apteryx>rowhit: there's no need to; if you want to contribute to Guix, it should be formatted to follow our coding guidelines (see: info '(guix)Contributing') and submitted to guix-patches@gnu.org, one package definition per commit. <rowhit>apteryx: I am trying to set the environment variable _MEIPASS but I guess guix ignores all the shell variable. I need to add it somewhere in the package definition with (arguments phases etc" <rowhit>apteryx: But it is not building yet, How do I contribute? Can you submit a broken package? <apteryx>ah, sorry, I had misunderstood. Now I understand that you have problems with this approach (I thought you changed your approach after my original question). <rowhit>apteryx: No worries, I am new to guix. I have been a long time nix user (never contributed much as I always found a package that I ever needed). But I find guix to be much cleaner and trying to make a switch. <apteryx>I don't think you need that python-dis3 package, as we're on Python 3.7 on the master branch. 'dis' is included from Python3.5+, whatever it is. <apteryx>unfortunately the pypi importer doesn't consider versions, so it adds blindly everything the setup.py lists as dependencies. <apteryx>it's currently up to the packager to spot these and remove them manually. <apteryx>that doesn't resolve that weird MEIPASS issue though (I could reproduce it here). <jfred[m]>whew, trying out core-updates and I'd forgotten how much of a performance boost gnome 3.34 was <rowhit>apteryx: I am trying to setenv _MEIPASS in the modify-phases step but it is still failing. <apteryx>Why do they attach that variable to sys? That's a core python module. <apteryx>seems it occurs while attempting to run the tests <rowhit>apteryx: I am sure we can disable pytest but then during normal operation it may create issues? <rowhit>apteryx: "Why do they attach that variable to sys? That's a core python module. " Really not sure. <apteryx>yeah, I'm not suggesting disabling the test, but it should point us where to look at. Perhaps the tests expect some state before being run. <sneek>Welcome back Blackbeard, you have 1 message! <sneek>Blackbeard, thvk-ivgf says: I'm OK, but that temperatures are bad thing. I start to dream to move to Yakutia, or elsewhere North. <apteryx>rowhit: from there I'd suggest running the build with -K (--keep-failed), then go to the build dir saved under /tmp, and iterate directly in the source until the tests pass <plasma41>The TLS Certificate for guix.gnu.org expires on Friday. Please renew asap. <apteryx>rowhit: just running the test suite with my modified version yields: == 3 failed, 259 passed, 15 skipped, 11 xfailed, 8 warnings in 46.01 seconds ===. Not too bad. <reepca`>hmm... I find myself in a position to really want to use the name of a fiber (so that temproots filenames can take the form <pid>.<fiber-name>), but it seems that although guile-fibers provides a way to get a fiber from a name, it provides no way to actually figure out what the name of a fiber is in the first place. <reepca`>I guess I could use fold-all-fibers to search for the name of the current fiber, but it seems odd. <KE0VVT>which keys does guix inst req? my kbd broken <raghavgururajan>Okay, so if the source tarball has both "configure" and "configure.ac", how to make gnu-build-system to use .ac via autoconf, instead of configure? <reepca`>raghavgururajan: see ~/.config/guix/current/share/guile/site/3.0/guix/build/gnu-build-system.scm line 176, the bootstrap phase will by default do nothing as long as configure exists. You could either replace the bootstrap phase with one that doesn't make that check, or you could put a phase before it that deletes configure. <raghavgururajan>reepca I also have makefile and makefile.am in multiple directories. So how to invoke automake, instead of directly using makefile? <reepca`>KE0VVT: with emacs, via M-x insert-char (or, alternatively, C-x 8 RET) <reepca`>I just type in the name. So for example M-x insert-char <RET> THUMBS UP SIGN <RET> <reepca`>in emacs they show up as whatever color the text does. So not black-white per se, but monochromatic. In ERC messages that I send are red, so they show up as red to me. <reepca`>raghavgururajan: that I'm not so sure about. Usually automake is invoked indirectly by the bootstrapping process, right? <raghavgururajan>reepca Removing configure file worked. But I am getting "AM INTL SUBDIR is m4_require'd but not m4_defun'd". <reepca`>¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm afraid my experience with autotools is rather shallow yet. But if you get errors when you try doing the bootstrapping yourself, perhaps you're meant to use the provided configure instead of regenerating it? <raghavgururajan>KE0VVT You mentioned a while ago that you are stuck choosing between trisquel and guix? <KE0VVT>raghav-gururajan yes. willl try on this new pc <ryanprior>use guix on trisquel imo. trisquel installer is really nice. <apteryx>raghavgururajan: there are lots of examples in the code about reboostrapping the build system with autotools. <apteryx>You need to add automake, which includes M4 macros for autoconf, IIRC. <ryanprior>KE0VVT I use guix on elementary OS, last time I used trisquel was before I'd started using guix <raghavgururajan>apteryx Yes, I did add ac and am as native-inputs. Will have to look into code base more. <KE0VVT>ryanprior why not at least just reg ubuntu <apteryx>raghavgururajan: internationalization would be provided by gettext I guess <ryanprior>KE0VVT yes, they are inherited from Ubuntu.

<apteryx>Blackbeard: I've packaged hackneyed-x11-cursors :-) <olivuser>I have a question regarding guix channels. I am using a channel that is hosted on gitlab. Since some time, I am not able to pull from it. The error message is something along the lines of "too many authentication requests or redirects". Does anyone else have (had) such a problem? <roelj>olivuser: That sounds like you also cannot do "git pull <the-gitlab-repository>". Perhaps you are missing an SSH key to authenticate with? <olivuser>@roelj, thanks for the suggestion. actually I didnt even know that "guix pull" was actually just an alias to "git pull". I will try that later on. But is it normal that you need a ssh key for authentication in the case of a public repo? I am also asking because it has been working for months, and only now after I reinstalled my system it has started not working. <olivuser>I at first thought that the problem was related to tor, but the problem persisted even after I removed tor through config change and reconfigure <roelj>olivuser: "guix pull" is not an alias to "git pull". Could it be that the URL of the gitlab repository uses the SSH-based URL? Try changing it to the HTTPS-based URL. <roelj>olivuser: Alright, then I don't know what's going on :) <olivuser>@roelj, thanks for the help anyway. I will try if doing a "manual pull" works out <raghavgururajan>So how to build a python-based package that does not have setup.py file but only install.py file? <jonsger>hmpf. icedove doesnt build reproducible :( <jonsger>oh and guix doesnt keep the other built, so waiting 1,5h again :( <mbakke>jonsger: you forgot to use --keep-failed to inspect differences? :/ <jonsger>mbakke: does it save then both results? <jonsger>the manual advises to use `guix archive` <mbakke>or the relevant section for what you are trying to do <jonsger>7.1.1 Common Build Options -> --rounds=N <mbakke>jonsger: I don't see any mention of `guix archive` there? it does mention --keep-failed though. <jonsger> http://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/guix.html#Common-Build-Options "Note that, currently, the differing build results are not kept around, so you will have to manually investigate in case of an error—e.g., by stashing one of the build results with guix archive --export (see Invoking guix archive), then rebuilding, and finally comparing the two results.

(preferably without putting the password in the system conf :) ) <rekado>you can run arbitrary code in a system configuration, including commands that would look up the password at reconfigure time. <rekado>you’d still end up with a password in the store, though, unless mpd has a way to save just a hash. <jsynacek>Running 'guix environment guile' doesn't set up autoconf, automake and probably more tools needed to actually build guile from git. Is that a bug or am I misunderstanding something? <rekado>jsynacek: since the “guile” package in Guix does not have autoconf, automake, etc as inputs (because it’s building from a release tarball) “guix environment guile” also won’t give you these tools. <rekado>you can add them with “--ad-hoc autoconf automake libtool” <jsynacek>rekado: Oh, I missed that.

We can use Guix System in Esperanto. That’s useful.) <terpri>guix is certainly the #1 gnu/linux distro when it comes to esperanto support :D <mroh>that video is funny, ty for sharing (and the invidious instance). we should make this guy a config.scm ;) <pinoaffe>kmicu: he's reviewing it the way one would review ubuntu ***kraai_ is now known as kraai
<jlicht>I feel so much empathy for the poor guy when he notices the "| less" thing <civodul>jlicht: hey, honoring $PAGER has been proposed, let's do that! <sneek>Welcome back civodul, you have 1 message! <sneek>civodul, raghavgururajan says: Would you be able to push #40785 please? This is regarding `guix edit` and nano. Thanks! <civodul>raghavgururajan: sure, i'll take a look, thanks! <jlicht>civodul: I'm a happy camper ever since INSIDE_EMACS has been honored, I just recognised the "where is my output?" -> "oh there is a hint here" -> "oh it does the thing I wanted" <efraim>hmm, the copyright in the man page for vdirsyncer says 2014-1970 <jonsger>hm, diffoscope gets killed when comparing two icedove builds <drakonis>kraai: i dont think there might be an AWS AMI <drakonis>seems like it runs against the principles of the whole thing <drakonis>and if you look at the mailing lists, there is someone who has done such a thing <lfam>I don't think we need to block creating an AMI <ruffni>also: doesn't guix 1.1 run on guile3? <lfam>ruffini: It's named 'guile-next' <lfam>Sometimes we use this naming scheme when we don't want people who've installed Guile (for example, Guile 2.2), to get the new version from `guix upgrade` <lfam>Usually because we don't think it's ready yet <ruffni>makes sense :) thanks for clearing that up <lfam>I don't know the details of this case :) <lfam>It usually takes a couple bug-fix releases to get new major versions of Guile ready for automatic deployment <mekeor>hello. :) i'd like to understand what makes gnu guile so special and why it's nice and possible to configure gnu guix in guile and how they are parsed and what it means that package- and configuration-declarations are just scheme-expressions and whether the "eval" function is relevant to this. is there a text explaining this? :) <ruffni>i'm just curious because the speed advantage was mentioned in the release notes.. <lfam>ruffni: Guix 1.1 is based on Guile 3 <lfam>But it doesn't mean that the Guile you might install for your own use matches what Guix is based on <ruffni>makes sense. like git is installed -> for the system <- but not for a user to execute, right? unless it's added to the system <ruffni>mekeor: "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" is what answered most of your questions for me <mekeor>ruffni: the book from 1985? :O omg i thought an article might be enough… xD <jonsger>Its awful to work with debbugs, I hope the search of isssues.guix.gnu.org will be working soon again... <bandali>okay. if you did, i would've said the Debbugs package makes dealing with debbugs considerably more pleasant <sammich>bandali: is there an emacs debuggs interface? <lfam>If you have some specific issues I might have advice, jonsger <bandali>sammich, there is an emacs-debbugs package <bandali>it's available on GNU ELPA as debbugs, and packaged in guix <jlicht>bandali: any tips/scripts on magically applying debbugs patch series to fresh guix git worktrees? :-) <vagrantc>efraim: nice regarding the curious manpage dates ... sounds like something that might respect SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH and the author is using the build date assuming it's in the future <efraim>i was fixing building the man pages on core-updates and I saw the copyright was basically 2014-$(date +%Y) <vagrantc>efraim: auto-generating copyright assertions from the build time has always seemed wrong to me <efraim>yeah, i'm pretty sure that's not how it works <vagrantc>you can build softwre without modifying it at a later date, doesn't *actually* change the year of the copyright <vagrantc>there are a lot of projects that do that ... <bandali>jlicht, if you use Gnus, you can hit | on a message to pipe the message into something, namely a git subcommand to apply the patch <jlicht>thanks cbaines, bandali; I do something similar already in notmuch right now (also bound on " <bandali>i'm pretty sure the | key works in the emacs-debbugs buffers too, since iirc it makes use of some gnus machinery behindt the scenes <bandali>jlicht, if you use notmuch, you can define a git alias like: <bandali>nmam = "!f() { notmuch show --format=raw $1 | git am -; }; f" <jlicht>the link between patch series (and later on possible v2, v3...) is a bit of a hassle to manually manage. Take the rust-based packages that usually include like 100+ patches <cbaines>I assume it's worked correctly (although all kinds of things can go wrong with trying to extract patches from email) <jlicht>cbaines: this is _exactly_ what I would love, but locally <bandali>jlicht, btw, that git alias trick for notmuch is courtesy of bremner, the notmuch maintainer <jlicht>thanks bandali, I think it'll make applying patches from the ML a bit less of a hassle <NieDzejkob><lfam> I notice a go-build-system commit on staging. So far I've been doing Go stuff on master since there are still not many Go packages </lfam> I decided to push it to staging since the package that requires it is still blocked on upstream licensing issues <NieDzejkob>so there was no incentive to push directly to master <bricewge>lfam: I have send v4 of #40683 with the proper output. *jonsger makes the night of the bugs :P <lfam>bricewge: I replied with a small revision. Can you make sure it still works for you? <leoprikler>Does zimoun hang out in IRC or do they only post to the MLs? ***leomd is now known as leomd_
