But did you manage to build it? It fails unless you remove the check phase. gnunet-gtk fails as it cannot find the headers from gnunet itself. <maximed>Ox151: it needs to be added to the 'kernel' field I think, not the 'packages' field <tschilptschilp23>suseJdoG: I just tried ~guix shell -D gnunet~ and used it from there -- it actually did not build anything as substitutes are ready on guix 8a208df17! do you have a recent guix (gnunet in the new version just seems to have come in yesterday)? <suseJdoG>tschilptschilp23 Yes, pulled today. 0.16.3. <Ox151>maximed: sorry for my ignorance but something like (kernel (specification->package "linux-libre@5.15.32")) <tschilptschilp23>suseJdoG: how are you building it? I just did ~guix build gnunet~ and it just points to the location in the store (so I assume it's done already). I also did not notice any compiliation steps during what guix pulled when issuing guix shell, so I just seem to have received a 'use-ready' substitute... what does ~guix weather gnunet~ show? Maybe you are on a newer pull than me and it's not ready yet! <tschilptschilp23>here for guix 8a208df17 it seems ready on ci.guix.gnu.org, but not on bordeaux.guix.gnu.org... <suseJdoG>I have modified package definition in my config.scm. According to the manual some helper programs needs to be suid/guid. That's why config.scm. <suseJdoG>tschilptschilp23 No, I want to use it. You want to use it too... <suseJdoG>tschilptschilp23 Yes. It can work. suid is for extra security I belive on per-user setup. <suseJdoG>tschilptschilp23 it does install with guix shell -D gnunet-gtk but not with guix build gnunet-gtk --with-latest=gnunet-gtk <suseJdoG>tschilptschilp23 I am after gnunet-gtk as I have gnunet running. <suseJdoG>Any comments are welcome. I am just a carpenter on a hitchhiking tour for freedom. <tschilptschilp23>Being more of a lazy glue-the-done-stuff-together person, I just wanted to issue a conservative 'why not just use the gnunet-gtk' that's here already... But having run ~guix shell -D gnunet-gtk~ I noticed that I actually do NOT receive a GUI doing this. So I get your point on handcrafting! <suseJdoG>tschilptschilp23 Yes, while you can run in shell apps like gnunet-peerinfo-gtk, there is no data in/connection with the services or something. I just don't understand why it cannot find the headers when configuring with my definition and guix system reconfigure. <jpoiret>suseJdoG: the suid helpers are not there for extra security <jpoiret>i believe they're there for nat discovery and the like, which would need to touch privileged ports among others <jpoiret>on the contrary, suid helpers are almost always added attack surface, which is why they're often as small as possible <tschilptschilp23>here things are very weird atm -- running ~guix shell -D gnunet-gtk~ just provides me with a bare gnunet (no-gtk), right now I ran ~guix shell -D gnunet~ and it just loaded a serious amount of qt, so I thought there might be a labelling-mixup. But, in this shell session I do not even receive a ~gnunet-arm~ executable. Does not feel very right. <tschilptschilp23>but the bare gnunet-arm from gnunet-gtk seems to work OK, and to be on version 0.16.3 <jpoiret>tschilptschilp23: `-D` asks for the development environment, eg, a profile with the inputs of the following package, not the package itself! <jpoiret>this is the difference with `guix environment`, where by default it gave you a dev environment, and you had to use --ad-hoc to get actual specific packages <suseJdoG>jpoiret Yes, you are right. It is gnunet user, gnunet and gnunetdns group i think. <suseJdoG>If someone could remove the check phase in the gnunet definition it would most probably build. <tschilptschilp23>here it's the configure phase already, I don't even come close to the check phase! <jpoiret>was gnunet-gtk updated along with gnunet? (or is it necessary) <suseJdoG>tschilptschilp23 Dependencies? I have all of them in my config.scm... <suseJdoG>I didn't try to declare these in the package definition <suseJdoG>Few more years and I may know what I am doing... :') <suseJdoG> "--with-gnunet=/gnu/store/7hbk1a4f59zzp9rfav8xmxcfczb995s1-gnunet-0.16.3/" gives me: <suseJdoG>checking for GNUnet util library in /gnu/store/7hbk1a4f59zzp9rfav8xmxcfczb995s1-gnunet-0.16.3... checking for gnunet/gnunet_util_lib.h... no <suseJdoG>tschilptschilp23 I have nothing to. As long he does not touch the children. But he did... <suseJdoG>Now they make us guilty for driving the cars to do the jobs for them and punish with a ban on meat. CO2 is a gas of life, not a toxin. <wdkrnls>Dear guix, I am getting a zlib stream error when I try to run 'guix pull' as root. <wdkrnls>hmm... I guess it's having trouble with one of my extra channels <tschilptschilp23>mhm, gnunet-gtk still seems to use the old inputs syntax, might this be an issue? <maximed>suseJdog: #guix has people of multiple genders, so ‘guys’ seems overly specific here <maximed>suseJdoG: CO2 could indeed, as you write, be named a ‘gas of life’, if you are referring to photosynthesis and the greenhouse effect. I don't see how that stops it from being a toxin (in a metaphorical sense), given that too much CO2 (or FWIW certain other gasses too) leads to too much greenhouse effects leads to problems. <maximed>suseJdoG: Your message about guilt seems a bit ambigious -- who is ‘they’ here (existing laws, proposed laws, ...) and what's ‘guilty’ here (accused, possibility of being accused, convicted)? <ajarara>inferiors came in handy today. Thanks guix. <viivien>Has anyone tried to package nextcloud? <suseJdoG>tschilptschilp23 1. You can have 4000ppm concentration indoors (10x higher than outdoors) and be still alive. 2.

Like '-D' just for a few? <lilyp>not easily, but with sed you could add -D in front of a few lines (coming from a file, perhaps) <lilyp>for anything beyond that, don't forget that you can use manifests which you can create with arbitrary Scheme code <tschilptschilp23>actually 'guix shell PACKAGE1 PACKAGE2 -D PACKAGE3' did something, let's see ;) <tschilptschilp23>lilyp: thanks, what I wrote above did something indeed, but not really what I need... <morganw>Hello. Could I ask a quick question... If a package has a runtime dependency on another package would I have to add the dependency as a propagated-input, to put the package in the profile, to stop it being garbage collected from the store? <bricewge>Did someone managed to switch system generation between a profile with boot-parameters version 1 to boot-parameters version 0? <civodul>bricewge: ouch; could you email bug-guix, also showing the output of "guix describe"? <civodul>i guess what matters here is whether the "guix" command you used here understands version 1 or not <civodul>morganw: hi! no, you don't need to do that: the GC automatically determines run-time dependencies <morganw>civodul: Thanks. How can it know the dependency if I don't declare it anywhere? <bricewge>ciboule: I have a lot of backlog patches, I hope the issue dont come from them. That's why I was asking if someone can reproduce it. Switching from a profile with v1 to v0 boot parameters <morganw>Here is the package definition that I'm testing with, if that clarifies anything: http://0x0.st/ob-E.scm The build process sets an awk interpreter path so in order for the build result to run that interpreter needs to be present. gawk happens to already be present during the build process. <maximed>morganw: (about gc) When a package is built, the daemon scans the output for /gnu/store/... references and records them, then during GC, it uses this information to determine which depends on what <maximed>Propagation is an orthogonal mechanism. <maximed>Caveat: sometimes references are obfuscated (e.g. by compression) and can therefore be ‘lost’. There was (is?) a bug with e.g. Racket <maximed>morganw: if not done automatically by patch-source-shebangs, maybe add a substitute* to bake in the awk file name? <morganw>Thanks! For my case it sounds like I don't need to do anything then. Out of curiosity, is there a way to manually declare the equivalent for something that is compressed? <maximed>FWIW, ‘MIT license’ can technically refer to multiple things, for 100% clarity ‘Expat license’ is recommended <maximed>Though in practice it seems to be almost always the Expat license <morganw>The build process itself does insert the store path for gawk. <morganw>For the license, do you mean in the original source of the packaging? <maximed>morganw: Yes, since the IRC nick seems to match the author name in the source <maximed>Changing it is not a requirement for packaging, just a recommendation. <Kolev>You're going to kill me, but I use Ansible on a foreign distro to install my Guix environment. *atka gets pitchfork ready <maximed>Kolev: there is no secret Guix police that will hunt you down for using non-Guix tools <atka>well they wouldn't be secret if everyone knew about them... <morganw>Is there a trick to get Geiser showing Guix specific doc strings and completion? I've started with Guix SD and I've installed the emacs-guix mode but I'm unsure on how to get the current Guix checkout in the Guile load path (I think that is what is needed?). <maximed>morganw: This is not related to your question, but it's named Guix System now, GuixSD is its old name. <maximed>(I don't know the answer, I almost never use Geiser and never on a Guix checkout) <morganw>I haven't explicitly checked it out, which might be the problem. I only have it from the initial setup and I think the path changes when I run `guix pull`
