<romulas>Good that mesa was updated, one more update to go: <romulas>3ea6e46ea7881c656f7b4724639eaa4672d4e0e0b70869651e8f955ebae3d476 mesa-20.1.1.tar.xz <dissoc3>im trying to write a package using the ant-build-system but i get the error: "error: unmappable character for encoding UTF8". there are some french characters. Im not really sure how to resolve this with guix. <dissoc3>are there some locales i need to install for that? <dissoc3>if so, is that system wide or package dependent? <dissoc3>NieDzejkob: yes. it says file name and line number. there are many <NieDzejkob>dissoc3: could you unpack the source tarball locally and check what `file' says on some of these files? <NieDzejkob>romulas: expect that to happen in around 6 weeks <romulas>I just hope it will be out by Navi 2. <NieDzejkob>dissoc3: I think that's the problem. Try adding a phase to treat the source with iconv <dissoc3>NieDzejkob: okay. so like before build use iconv for converting? <dissoc3>gotcha. thanks. i havent run into this before. was a bit lost but makes sense <jsoo>speaking of rust versions, i am trying to build 1.4X and 1.40 keeps failing the validate-runpath steps. <NieDzejkob>jsoo: I have working patches for rustc up to 1.44 <jsoo>NieDzejkob: oh heck yes. Do you think they might get into the savannah repo? <NieDzejkob>rust-1.44 isn't included but it builds and runs with a definition analogous to rust-1.43 <romulas>Are you guys updates to LLVM 10 or directly to 10.1? <NieDzejkob>mbakke: you mentioned that default LLVM got bumped to 10 on staging, but it's still 9 right now?! <mbakke>NieDzejkob: ah no, I only bumped it for 'mesa', sorry for the confusion <mbakke>NieDzejkob: I tried to get you to bump the default LLVM on 'master' meanwhile :P <mbakke>LLVM and Clang can be patched/bumped freely on 'master' as long as Mesa is unaffected. <NieDzejkob>that's a relief. For a moment I thought it's gonna have to wait another staging cycle <NieDzejkob>romulas: so there's your answer. LLVM 10 by default RSN <dufresnep161>Hi!

<Barnet>hi everyone ;D hope you doing well ^^ im very new to guix system and trying to learn this beautiful os. i want to ask you which is the best,safest and most stable way to upgrade not only distro also packages ? guix pull follwed by guix package --upgrade is this right ? and some times after pull sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm <janneke>Barnet: sounds about right; use sudo -E guix system reconfigure ... <Barnet>im also asking because last week i broke my system xD there was some issue with package upgrade and it couldnt build x265 i think it told me failed to build package and then i reconfigured my pc. then i couldnt boot in anymore and at this moment i dont know how to roll back so i installed it again .... <Barnet>@janneke so do you mean sudo -E guix system reconfigure instead of sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm ? <janneke>Barnet: yes, that's most probably what you want <janneke>also, you should always be able to select and boot a previous (working) version of the guix system from the grub menu <Barnet>@janneke i see again thanks. yep i did this too but its my fault im searching for my main distro but with fsf standarts its very hard for me ....and then i want to decide <Barnet>which distro im going to run on a daily basis <cbaines>civodul, mothacehe morning :) Do either of you happen to know what revision of curiass is deployed on berlin? <Barnet>to execute a sh. script what do i have to do ? <mothacehe>efraim: oops that would be my fault (commit 4e05bbb093a17145fcabd48ea1d2c9cd7559084d) <efraim>I figured since it was just committed I'd get a faster response here than on bug-guix :) <Barnet>im asking because when im trying to execute it via terminal it says :No such file or directory so i have to edit the sh to another directory ? <efraim>it sounds like either you have the wrong path to the script or it starts with a shebang that doesn't exist on Guix System <efraim>what's the first line of the script? <civodul>mothacehe: the #:job option of latest-builds is nice! <efraim>quassel 0.13.1 isn't compatable with qt-5.14, i'll see what others do <efraim>i see debian hasn't rebuilt it since 5.12 (i think) <efraim>ah, they have 5.14 in experimental, so not pushed yet <mothacehe>civodul: thanks :) My idea is to have a list of images, then find the latest available image for download. <mothacehe>And put everything under /latest as you suggested <civodul>oh i hadn't even noticed "staging" had been merged, thanks mbakke! :-) *guix-vits "ninja-style commits, lol" <efraim>where in sys or proc can I check my CPU tempertaure? <[df]>/sys/class/thermal/ I think <efraim>I'm getting 94000 from /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp so it looks like I need to try again with the thermal paste <[df]>I don't know what it's 94000 of, hopefully not kelvin <jonsger>efraim: I think laptops tend to be higher on temp, so I wouldn't say 94° is a problem <bonz060>In guix, can you rollback a specific package instead of a whole profile? <janneke>you can use guix time-machine to install an earlier version of a single package, to create a new generation of a profile <lprndn>bonz060: it should look like "guix time-machine --commit=xxx -- package -i PACKAGE but I never used it so I might be wrong. <bricewge1>Looks like the time-machine has issue going back to guile 2.2 <efraim>jonsger: agree, but this one has a history of overheating. the 94 was minutes after powering it on and it since shut itself off <nckx>clodeindustrie: K…ind of.

Can someone enlighten me? <rekado_>is it the consequence of the knee-jerk response to what people call “bloat” in glibc? <civodul>it seems to me less interesting than Clang, technically <civodul>janneke: the seed above include musl, busybox, binutils, and gcc <efraim>why not use toybox instead of binutils if they're just looking at size <janneke>civodul: 76MB including gcc -- that's hard to believe... <janneke>our gcc-stripped-tarball-5.5.0/gcc-stripped-5.5.0-x86_64-linux.tar.xz is 18MB <efraim>I can never remember which programs busybox and toybox aim to replace, but we probably shouldn't change the description to add "for those who dislike the following GNU utils" <civodul>it's better than what we had when we were using coreutils, tar, etc. i guess <civodul>but far from the 60MB we're celebrating :-) <janneke>anyway, i believe it's a big win when this gains mindshare <civodul>and use the same terminology, explain how to rebuild it, etc. <efraim>can you provision the same service more than once? <efraim>I guess I should see how to create the provision field so they don't clash <efraim>using term-tty1 as an example, I didn't want 3 services all named tty <efraim>but I didn't want to define 3 different services, one for each <apteryx>bricewge1: from Gnus, you move your pointer on the attachment, then use '|' git am RET (after having 'M-x cd your-guix-checkout' from the Summary buffer. <bricewge1>apteryx: Thanks! I have found the 3 year old log where you were told this method. This is really useful. <apteryx>efraim: busybox is basically a single binary that can replace bash + coreutils (more or less), supposedly useful for embedded devices. <apteryx>In practice I find most embedded devices I've worked with amply capabale of running the "real" tools such as GNU Bash and GNU coreutils without any of the limitation (I've seen regexp support for Busybox commands behave differently (and not in a good way) for example). <nikita`>efraim: yes, I'd avoid negative comparison like dislike. there's more positive structures to express the same <nikita`>congrats for proceeding with the bootstrap :) <mothacehe>apteryx: I think busybox is often used in embedded device for space considerations. <mothacehe>With one binary you cover (poorly) what would be provided by hundrer of binaries from coreutils & friends. <apteryx>as for glibc vs musl, I don't know much about the later, but I think the opinion that glibc is "bloated" is mostly historical. There used to be a eglibc project for embedded that was an effort to keep gilbc small, but that project has since been merged back into glibc itself. <apteryx>Another popular reason to glibc is considered bloated by some is that it has support for the Hurd. <nikita`>mothacehe: however there's also the 'crunched' approach we (or at least some of the *BSDs) are taking, when your base system includes the rescue set of binaries. *nikita` thinks about busybox specific glue code she wrote last year >.< <nixfreak>is guix supposed to have a lib64 directory inside ~/.guix-profile ? <efraim>It's not supposed to, we try to keep everything using lib <nixfreak> error while loading shared libraries: libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory <nixfreak>failed to run: /home/nixfreak/build/rustc-nightly-src/build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage0/bin/cargo build --manifest-path /home/nixfreak/build/rustc-nightly-src/src/bootstrap/Cargo.toml <NieDzejkob>nixfreak: okay, but the linker ain't gonna look in ~/.guix-profile <NieDzejkob>if you want to run downloaded binaries, your best bet is to make them available in /lib64 <NieDzejkob>you might want to look into, IIRC, directory-union <nixfreak>ok so NieDzejkob , you must have your setup configured differently <nixfreak>so how did you exactly build rust-nightly and build rustup ? <nixfreak>error: failed to parse manifest at `/home/nixfreak/build/rustup/Cargo.toml` <nixfreak> feature `profile-overrides` is required <nixfreak>this Cargo does not support nightly features, but if you <nixfreak>`cargo-features = ["profile-overrides"]` to enable this feature <NieDzejkob>nixfreak: ah, that feature has since been stabilized ***cjpb0 is now known as cjpbirkbeck

*rekado_ just posted it to Reddit as well <efraim>NieDzejkob: changing GHC to use modify-phases has been on my TODO list for at least 2 years now <samplet`>NieDzejkob: I have started the “wip-haskell-updates” branch again and added GHC 8.8. We could make changes to GHC 7 as part of the larger Haskell update. <rekado_>samplet`: would you be okay with me pushing a bunch of changes to wip-haskell-updates? I have primarily changes for the build system to remove references from the “doc” output and to move static libs to a “static” output by default. <rekado_>the changes also allow us to build a statically linked Pandoc reducing the closure in the common case by about 3G. <samplet`>rekado_: Yes.

I must build it through the the binfmt (QEMU architecture emulation) service? But if a package doesn't need to "run" anything, it can be built by simple cross-compilation? <NieDzejkob>QEMU binfmt (with --system) is considered equivalent to a native (say) arm board, but cross-compiling (with --target) is not. This means that apart from the program itself supporting cross-compilation, all the dependencies must too <cbaines>NieDzejkob, guix gc --clear-failures can probably help <apteryx>NieDzejkob: I see, thanks for explaining. What about test suites in a cross-compilation setting? Are they always disabled? <apteryx>janneke: curious about the assymetry in 'herd start hurd-vm' and 'herd stop childhurd'. Is this intended? <janneke>apteryx: ah, hmm. there is no asymmetry; the service has two names <mjw>This is probably silly me not really getting "it", but do I really have to change all my scripts that use /bin/bash (instead of /bin/sh because they us some bashisms) to #! /usr/bin/env bash <apteryx>janneke: ah, that's neat. I didn't even know we were using this kind of alias already. <mjw>(and similarly for anything using /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/gawk /usr/bin/...) <janneke>apteryx: i sometimes try to convey a lot of information in a implicit compact way <janneke>apteryx: i'm open to suggestions to improve it <apteryx>Perhaps just explicitly mentioning that the service can be referred to by more than one name, for convenience. <s34n>isntall did a whole bunch of downloading, then building, then initializing, then more downloading, then prompted, "Press Enter to continue." Then nothing. <janneke>apteryx: yes, i'll have a look at that -- documentation should not be a series of puzzles <mjw>bionicbeaver, you joke! But... I honestly was confused. *apteryx goes trying out the childhurd service <s34n>How long should I wait after "Press Enter to continue." before I think something is wrong? <mjw>I assume there is a good philosophical reason for there being just /bin/sh and /usr/bin/env and nothing else. But... It feels so different/confusing. <mjw>So I guess I had assumed there would be some binfmt service that would handle this automagically. <s34n>it says bootloader is installed. Is it safe to reboot? <bionicbeaver>s34n: all that the Manual say: "At that point you can hit “OK” and installation will proceed. On success, you can reboot into the new system and enjoy." <- Probably it should show some "success" message? <s34n>ah. it finally gave a system error about not being able to delete a directory with contents, then some other stuff, then the finish screen <bionicbeaver>s34n: if installation was successful: booting to Guix System is relatively slow.

Is there a list of TODOs somewhere? <janneke>apteryx: i haven't prepared a list yet <janneke>but i guess we want to get hurd-vm services running on our build farm, and start fixing base packages <janneke>currently, "guix build hello" does not succeed / fails when building coreutils-final <apteryx>Are these VMs purely for experimenting with the Hurd, or are they intended to build stuff, for example? <janneke>oh, and then there's lots to do before Hurd could be a first class option <janneke>apteryx: they are totally meant to build stuff <janneke>and do development, patch packages, fix bugs <ngz>I wanted to test git send-email workflow instead of git format-patch + mail attachment. I'm wondering what the correct process is when dealing with multiple patches. In particular, the cover letter is send to bug-guix@gnu.org, but the actual patches are sent to a different address. <apteryx>OK! In theory, using --target should be able to 'cross-compile' for Hurd, right? I guess we're just no there yet? <janneke>apteryx: eh...i'm afraid i cannot follow you there <apteryx>ngz: you would send the cover letter only to bug-guix, then upon receiving a confirmation email with the actual bug#, you would git-send the remaining patches to this email. <janneke>so, we can cross-build coreutils-final, and everything beyond that which is needed for guix <ngz>apteryx: how would you do that, if I may ask? Isn't the cover letter created when sending the patch set? <janneke>in fact, the cross build is more advanced than the native build <janneke>but that's cheating, because the cross build does not run tests <apteryx>I see! So it's useful to do native builds through a VM. <apteryx>ngz: I guess you'd 'git format-patch --cover-letter' first to produce patch files <janneke>apteryx: i guess they will go hand in hand for some time to come, i don't know <janneke>it may depend on what people want to work on <apteryx>then 'git send-email [your-options] your-cover-file' <ngz>apteryx: OK. I was looking for a way to do it straight from git send-email, tho. <apteryx>then 'git send-email [your-options] *.patch' or something <apteryx>I haven't used that flow myself yet, though, as a disclaimer <apteryx>Hopefully someone more 'in the know' will be happy to comment <ngz>apteryx: OK. Thank you! I have a super-important patch introducing BurgerSpace, and I can't wait to test this workflow ;) <apteryx>janneke: really neat to be able to play with the Hurd so easily on Guix. The last time I ran a Hurd VM was one from Debian. Thank you! <janneke>Debian GNU/Hurd has been extremely helpful and it's still much more advanced <janneke>i'm sure we can most work (if not all) on our own VM now <romulas>GNU hurd guix is interesting too bad there are no videos of it on youtube <lispmacs[work]>I just wanted to say congratulations on the progress with the reduced bootstrap binaries <s34n>when I `guix package -u`, I'm told "guix package: warning: Consider running 'guix pull'" <bdju>s34n: try running `hash guix` to make sure you're using that new guix you just pulled
