<blake2b>hiya guix, I'm trying to use the gexp->script function (gexp->script "current-home" #~(begin (getenv "HOME") ...)) in a package to create a script that can be used both in the build process but also with the code generation mechanisms that the package I'm working on performas (which isn't a (wrap-program...) issue, unfortunately). <blake2b>in the repl's store-monad, the derivation builds fine. but I get: "Unbound variable: gexp" when trying to build the package, even though (guix gexp) is included in the module definition <blake2b>I've tried (with-imported-modules ... (use-modules (guix gexp)), #:modules `((guix gexp)), and declaring (use-modules ...) in the definition, all to no avail <Ribby>Can you guys host the firewall-config or firewalld? It's a firewall program from red hat. <Ribby>is there a way to software install deb files on guix? <Ribby>compiling source code may have some dependency problems than compiling problem. <Ribby>Is that the new update for guix? Is it box? Sure, I'll try it out. I wonder what kind of os are available. Dependencies for komorebi wallpaper manager thing. <anadon>Ribby: Looks like the `debootstrap` package meets your needs. <anadon>Also just `dpkg`, which exists. No `apt`, but that makes sense. <anadon>Looks like it, but it still has some failures. <anadon>Ribby: depends. What exactly are to trying to do? <Ribby>Trying to figure out those deb files. GUI way or the CLI way? We got debootstrap and dpkg. dpkg seems to be the earlier program than apt. Apt is said to be easier, but it might have its limitations. <anadon>Ribby: The GUI way? Again, what exactly are you trying to do? What is the product of the task you are trying to accomplish? <Ribby>Well, there's the deb and then there's the source code. <anadon>So, how stable do you want this? <Ribby>As in how stable the installation process? <anadon>For your purposes, you probably want to install `dpkg` and all the packages listed in the `apt install` line from guix. Then, download the `komorebi` .deb from github and install it with `dpkg`. This should work, but it is possible that the dependencies in guix are missing or the wrong version. If you have time, I encourage you to make a new <anadon>guix package for komorebi and submit the patch. <anadon>littlebobeep: I see it packaged,and Linux runs fine under it therefore so would a guix system. Unless I'm missing something? <Ribby>Somehow, I can't get the dpkg command working. <Ribby>Well, I can use boxes until then. <anadon>Ribby: What do you see? Use the debian pastebin <Ribby>My sys can't support virtual extension just yet, I was too ambitious? lol <anadon>Ribby: You didn't install dpkg. `guix install dpkg`. If you did and it still isn't there, that's probably a bug. <littlebobeep>anadon: Oh sorry I should have checked... have you used Xen on Guix? <littlebobeep>btw where is that web page where you can actually SEARCH for package names, as official page is very limited (can someone fix that?) <anadon>littlebobeep: No, installed on top of Ubuntu. <Ribby>Something about a read-only system? <Ribby>I think I need to read the command list for specifics. <littlebobeep>Hmmm aarch64 is not listed as supported ISA for Xen... any reason for this? <anadon>littlebobeep: VMs and Hypervisors require a ton of architecture specific work and extensions so it probably just hasn't been developed yet. <anadon>Ribby: Uhg. I suppose it has to be that way. There might be an option to specify a different root install dir. You might be stuck with the "ordained" method of making it into a guix package. <anadon>Ribby: `dkpk --root=/` probably. <littlebobeep>anadon: Hmm okay well I just looked at package definition for Xen and I see nothing specific added having to do with armhf and it claims to support that ISA <apteryx>I can't find a way to generate texlive formats that'd include hyphens with fmtutil-sys in a package (texlive-polyglossia); any tip?

<littlebobeep>attila_lendvai: Is there a way to config it to use .scm directly and not the .go files? <attila_lendvai>littlebobeep, that's not really an option. i want to load all of guix into it, and interactively develop the code. i think it would be prohibitively slow to load everything from .scm. <littlebobeep>attila_lendvai: Yeah for interactive development though don't you need .scm files? About slowness, do you know how to benchmark this? <attila_lendvai>littlebobeep, i don't even know how to make it work. in fact, i'm not even sure what's happening: i get an error at shell+make, but i don't get it in geiser. my assumption is that the syntax rules i've changed are not alive when loaded into geiser. <jpoiret>minikN: that seems to be about having a root NFS, not a simple nfs mount <attila_lendvai>is there an expert in macros around? in (gnu services configuration) i have i really hard time to teach DEFINE-CONFIGURATION to accept for the (TYPE DEFAULT-VALUE) also (TYPE) and simply TYPE forms, and use 'DISABLED as the default value when not specified. any hints would be appreciated! <attila_lendvai>i did the same for match-record recently, but that one is using define-syntax, while this one is using a helper function and syntax-case <jpoiret>just a heads-up, capital letters are used for variables, bound names are fine in lowercase <jpoiret>maybe i spent too much time reading guile docstrings but that read weird to me :p <jpoiret>i'm reading the define-configuration code rn but i'm not very familiar with how it's used <jpoiret>seems to me that only (TYPE) and (TYPE DEFAULT-VALUE) are supported <jpoiret>it would definitely be possible to support that syntax but i don't think it'd be desirable <jpoiret>about 'disabled as the default value when not specified, wouldn't it also be an issue wrt. change in behaviour? <attila_lendvai>jpoiret, in parallel i'm also replacing the use of 'disabled with *unspecified* <jpoiret>btw, i was thinking that instead of using symbols to denote the disabled value (which would clash with a possible actual value of 'disabled), you could use something fresh, like (define config-disabled (list 'disabled)), so that (eq? config-disabled (list 'disabled)) is #f unless you're really using config-disabled <jpoiret>FTR, quoted lists may not be fresh, whereas list and cons always return fresh list objects <attila_lendvai>it all seems to work out pretty well, but i'm stuck at this last step <jpoiret>so do you want the value of a field without a default value set to be *unspecified*? or 'disabled? i didn't really get it <attila_lendvai>jpoiret, *unspecified*, but i didn't want to complicate my initial question, which is unrelated to the 'disabled -> *unspecified* refactor. <jpoiret>what did you already modify? you said you modified match-record <attila_lendvai>jpoiret, what i'm stuck with can be added to vanilla master. in fact, to simplify things, i'm trying to do it on top of vanilla master first <attila_lendvai>jpoiret, the issue is how to "redirect" the syntax-case... in master it's only matching on (field-type def ...), but i want it to match on a simple symbol, too <jpoiret>that's what I was saying earlier, (field-type) will work, and adding the bare field-type case is useless imho <jpoiret>you could technically do it, but it'll require some indirection <jpoiret>the same is true for (define-record-type* ...) <attila_lendvai>jpoiret, it's not useless, but aesthetics. arguably useless, but why would i need to write (field1 (maybe-string) "") instead of (field1 maybe-string "")? <jpoiret>having more cases makes for a more unclear experience <jpoiret>although, you could make a case for the whole interface to be changed <jpoiret>right now it doesn't have the flexibility of define-record-type*, ie all its arguments are positional <jpoiret>it'd be better if you could write (field1 (type maybe-string) (default "helloes") ...) <attila_lendvai>jpoiret, not in my view. d-c is a layer on top of d-r. if it's not any/much less verbose, than why not just use d-r? <jpoiret>which is already a huge deal :p but yeah, for sure <jpoiret>but still, adding () is not the biggest deal <jpoiret>right, that could also be interesting it itself <attila_lendvai>i'll postpone this issue then, and send a first patch without eliminating the () <jpoiret>actually, define-configuration is pretty ugly <jpoiret>the first branch of the if that i was talking to you about will actually never be hit i think <jpoiret>because earlier, field-default is set to #''undefined if there's no specified default value <jpoiret>and that if actually matches on that field-default <attila_lendvai>it's ugly indeed i think. i'm still trying to grasp hygienic macros, and it doesn't feel like the best testbed for excercises... :) <jpoiret>oh actually no it'll be hit, but it's very ugly <tschilptschilp23>Hi!

(topmost entry of `git log`) <jpoiret>if it did successfully pull there ofc <jpoiret>ah actually no, it won't be an issue with that <PotentialUser-84>so as i understand problem maybe related to some package wich requires non default linux-libre version <jpoiret>yes, i'm trying to see if that old guix's gcc-toolchain has a ref to these linux-libre headers <jpoiret>you don't ever see the `Computing Guix derivation /` right? <jpoiret>you won't be able to locally build the newer guix because the 1.3.0 era gcc-toolchain can't be built because of this <jpoiret>then, you'll be able to generate an install image by doing `./pre-inst-env guix system image -t iso9660 gnu/system/image.scm` <jpoiret>you won't need to run `guix pull` on the install image because it'll already have the newest guix (but you should still be able to) <jpoiret>by the way, if your motivation for building guix locally is protection against malicious prebuilt binaries, downloading the 1.3 installer image already breaks that promise <jpoiret>yeah, if you want to build anything locally on the 1.3 image it's going to fail for the same exact reason <jpoiret>you could also just download the latest image from the website if you don't care about downloading binaries <jpoiret>building from git is pretty easy as long as you can get the deps <PotentialUser-84>but what if i will build from git and then try to install system with no subsitutes <jpoiret>the issue here is that for `guix pull` to succeed and give you a newer guix, it still needs to use the gcc-toolchain of the old guix (1.3.0), which it doesn't seem to have locally, so it'll try building it but can't do so because one of its dependent can't be built <PotentialUser-84>okay so, i am gonna install guix with bins then build guix from git in it and try to do this again <jpoiret>i wonder how swh fallback would work with this (i've never use it though, maybe someone else could chime in) <apteryx>has anyone managed to have hyphenation working with LaTeX in Guix? <sneek>apteryx, you have 2 messages! <sneek>apteryx, rekado says: I’ve been trying to fix polyglossia for months, but haven’t been successful.

<tribals>I want to try to contribute a package update to upstream. I followed instructions from manual in section "Building from Git". So, now I have a git copy of whole Guix, can edit package definitions and test it's building. But I want to battle-test it if I can. One such way could be to use that updated package in, eg. CI environment - run it on some load and see it will not fail. So, I want to use that updated package in other project (whose dependencies <tribals>managed with guix). How can I do so? You see it: I want to keep working in "upstream" source because it is simply, *but* I want to use it *before* submiting to upstream (or trying to do so) <tribals>singpolyma: That's actually a problem. I don't want to depend on ./pre-inst-env <tribals>Could I just "pull from my local copy of upstream"?

Could that be done with channel? <civodul>apteryx: i'm running that newfangled shepherd and it works like a charm so far! <tribals>tschilptschilp2: That's actually a thing I want to avoid. I want to stay in Guix (local) repo. <singpolyma>tribals: channel contains only packages, not guix <singpolyma>If you extract your package module you can just use guix install -L. <tribals>I also overwhelmed by this kind of messages: <tribals>;;; note: source file /home/tosh/projects/guix/guix/ui.scm <tribals>;;; newer than compiled /home/tosh/projects/guix/guix/ui.go <tribals>Is there a way to disable it or something? <tribals>singpolyma: isn't a guix repo a channel by itself? I.e. a "channel" is a collection of packages, and guix repo is a collection of packages? <singpolyma>tribals: the main guix repo has packages but also the rest of guix itself <civodul>tribals: more importantly, run "make" to make sure .go files are up-to-date <tribals>do I need to keep "packages" thing in sync with "rest of guix" thing? <tribals>civodul: Just looked at Makefile, seems it is generated. Is there any "build automation" for Guix itself? Like "make do-useful-thing-like-update-specified-package-to-new-version"? <tribals>civodul: > that's not "building" per se <tribals>I agree. Actually I'm looking for something more "general". There is no such thing for now <civodul>tribals: what kind of automation do you have in mind? <tribals>civodul: the notion of "building" is very vague nowadays. Basically, people meant "do whatever it need to be done in order to do useful thing", where "useful thing" varies from "just compile source code" to "lint sources before pushing it to remote git repo" to "just bring my application dependencies so i can reach them" to "manage kubernetes cluster" <tribals>Basically, I want to do all that, and more <civodul>tribals: ah sure, so it won't manager your kubernetes cluster, for sure :-) <civodul>but other than that, there's "guix lint", "guix deploy", that kind of thing <tribals>This is why I'm very interested in Guix! To me it looks very promising! <jab>littlebobeep: I suppose you are referring to the fiber-ized shepherd. That speeds up guix system's boot time. <jab>littlebobeep: I will send you a link <jab>If you are running guix system, then you can actually test it. <jab>The second link show you how. <tribals>I just noticed that invoking `./pre-inst-env`'ed guix cause warning about stale compiled files, but running guix comes from local copy, and compiled files comes from guix in my "guix-home" <tribals>Eg `~/.guix-home/profile/lib/guile/3.0/site-ccache/guix/utils.go` <jab>I had some fun sanitizing record fieldnames today. It <jab>is always fun to learn now things.
