<jts>if you need to add more than a couple strings to your dotfiles, you can specify paths to files to be concatenated onto the end of your shell dotfiles. I'm not sure how to do that for eg .profile, though <blake2b>jts: thanks! I've been so busy I didn't even realize there was a recent blog post <jgart[m]>elisp and guile happily together forever <boogiewoogie[m]><efraim> "boogiewoogie: Julia's in a..." <- that's great to hear! is there like a rule of thumb you can suggest as to which to install with which? just do the ones already packaged with guix and the rest with Pkg.jl? also, if I added the bioinformatics channel to my guix, I would have plots available? do I get that right? <jgart[m]>it's not too bad actually now that I've read it a few times although I might prefer to just have one lang in my config file. I'll have to dogfood it for a while to see how it feels <jgart[m]>if you add guix-bioinformatics you'll have all their packages <jgart[m]>but you won't have their substitutes, yet... <jgart[m]>maybe someone will provide substitutes for guix-bioinformatics in the future <jgart[m]>so you'll have to build/compile all the packages on your own machine. <boogiewoogie[m]>is it because they don't offer them, or because additional steps would be required on my side? <jgart[m]>main GNU Guix channel does not provide substitutes for guix-bioinformatics <jgart[m]>it's because they don't offer substitutes <jgart[m]>and if they did maybe they won't offer them to the public but internally <jgart[m]>but you could run your own substitute server and offer substitute servers for guix-bioinformatics if you like <jgart[m]>we run the substitute server on our own server <jgart[m]>currently there are 820 packages in Guix 'R Us as of now <boogiewoogie[m]>what would be the steps required for the julia packages on guix-bioinformatics to land in the main channel? just out of curiosity, I'm trying to understand this specific fragmentation <jgart[m]>That page updates the packages in the channel as we push new commits <jgart[m]>boogiewoogie: someone would have to send patches <jgart[m]>but you can have them today. No need to wait for them to get merged in master <blake2b>jgart: whoa! yes, this is what I was hoping to find originally when diving in, thanks :) <blake2b>I'm pretty confused, i had thought that rde is a "just works" distribution of guix, "unbuntu guix style" <blake2b>nice, its been a while since I checked it out <boogiewoogie[m]>so merging of new packages/patches into main guix tends to be on the slower side I take it? not that that's bad, but it would give some context to availability in the main repo, especially some package versions =) <blake2b>jgart: thanks for the tips, I need to break into sr.ht properly <xelxebar>How can one add external module dependencies to a personal channel? <jgart[m]>blake2b: send patches to Guix 'R Us. That's one way to break in to it <xelxebar>I am using modules from another external channel, and `guix build -L local/path/to/my/channel foobar` builds just fine. <jgart[m]>xelxebar: you can mix and match module deps from any channel <jgart[m]>including a local channel that is not online in a git repo <xelxebar>However, when pulling my channel I end up getting "no code for module" errors. <jgart[m]>guix build my-hacky-python-library -L ~/my-hacky-channel <jgart[m]>substitute guix shell and the command works the same way <jgart[m]>or `guix shell --load-path=~/my-hacky-channel` if you like to type out long flags <jgart[m]>if you have the channel on your file system, that is <xelxebar>In my channels.scm, let's say I have channel my-channel and some-other-channel, where my-channel uses modules from some-other-channel. <jgart[m]>for example, one way to use guixrus channel is like this: <xelxebar>jgart[m]: Yeah, that all works fine. My question is a different one. <jgart[m]>> where my-channel uses modules from some-other-channel. <jgart[m]>do you have that other channels modules in path? <xelxebar>guix pull fails with "no code for module" on my channel, when I use some module from some other, external channel (which is also included in channels.scm) <jgart[m]>if you're trying to use a channel that you're not subscribed to or not putting it in path then the deps won't be available of course <jgart[m]>if you can point to the files in question maybe it will be clearer <jgart[m]>otherwise I may be overlooking something in the context of your situation <xelxebar>My channel is guix-bmw, and I'm trying to use modules from one of the other non-primary channels. <xelxebar>guix build -L local/path/to/my/channel foobar works just fine, but guix pull errors with "no code for module" when trying to build my channel's modules. <xelxebar>If I remove the dependency on the third-party channel's module, then guix pull succeeds. <jgart[m]>a local one that you mentioned above that is not online? <jgart[m]>xelxebar: maybe send an email to guix-devel@gnu.org <jgart[m]>and open a discussion about it so it doesn't get forgotten here in irc ocean <jgart[m]>if your question doesn't get answered by someone else <xelxebar>jgart[m]: No, guix-bmw depends on one of the channels listed in channels.scm. <wdkrnls>Dear Guix, I'm trying to get the hang of working with Guix profiles. <wdkrnls>They make sense to me for very self contained software, but how can I manage software that goes everywhere like my window manager? <wdkrnls>I have been contentedly running my window manager from emacs and a bunch of shell scripts for a while now, but it's all assumed that everything was happily installed in the default profile. Now that I'm trying to split it up, I'm facing pains with my window manager being able to run one command, while failing on another. <wdkrnls>Strangely, I managed to figure out how to open a new emacs frame, but cannot get it to open a new emacs frame inside a new shell buffer. <wdkrnls>The script I had been using works if I run it from bash, but my window manager can't seem to spawn it. <singpolyma>wdkrnls: if you activate all the profiles you want before running your WM then all commands should be on path for it, same as with one profile <wdkrnls>singpolyma: I think I understood that. I've been doing that via: . ~/my/system/$custom-profile/etc/profile <wdkrnls>and I think I have just learned I can do that once by creating a bash script to be sourced which sources my profile and then exports whatever extra environment variables I want to set which I want to reuse across my dozens of scripts which help me control my window manager. <wdkrnls>It's just that, it doesn't seem to work for creating a shell, but since all the errors are going off into the netherworld, I cannot see what is happening. ***taiju65 is now known as taiju

<rekado>attila_lendvai: can we use python-minimal here? <rekado>any other patches you’d like me to review? <attila_lendvai>rekado, i don't know, but most probably. shall i retest and resend, or you'll do it? <rekado>(I’m in the middle of a bioconductor mass upgrade; will take a little while before I have free CPU cycles) <abrenon>ohhh, I get ABI mismatch running make from my local copy of guix : ( <abrenon>I was looking for clean or mrproper or something <abrenon>I only came here to complain, but it's even better if I get an accurate answer so fast ! *attila_lendvai is testing his idris2 packaging and hopes to submit it today <jonsger>abrenon: sometimes you need to do a ./bootstrap && ./configure afterwards... <abrenon>I thought it was only the first time ? <abrenon>how do I know when it is required (apart from running "make" and trying from ./bootstrap again if it fails ?) <rekado>abrenon: whenever the build system changes significantly you need to re-bootstrap <rekado>attila_lendvai: I applied 54926 and 54910; for the go-build-system patch I’d prefer to have someone look over it who is familiar with that build system.

<GNUtoo>When you override a package, can you modify its phases if it already modified the standard phases? <GNUtoo>For instance valgrind/interactive inherit from valgrind which uses modify-phases, and I want to add a phase in vagrind/interractive <rekado>GNUtoo: yes, you would use substitute-keyword-arguments, capture the phases as “phases” and then `(modify-phases ,phases …) <GNUtoo>Thanks a lot, I'll try to understand how that works <ZhuAisi[m]>do grep `(substitute-keyword-arguments` in Guix repo and you can see more examples <rekado>substitute-keyword-arguments takes the value of a package’s “arguments” field and allows you to latch on to any of the fields, bind values, and then supply replacements. *GNUtoo found a good example with the "chez" packages and will try it <GNUtoo>The code is much cleaner now.

<SeerLite[m]>Hi. In my profile I have a package with a tarball source, but I've installed it with the --with-git-url= flag.

<rekado>vagrantc: I don’t understand how any of this works. I assumed I would need a boot script. I don’t know how to use extlinux to boot from sdcard and then use the SSD as the root file system. <Haider>I am packaging something where to compile something you run a CMake process then you run Make after, can I make guix strip the flag of the Make proccess instead of CMake? <Haider>In other words, after Guix build system has ran CMake, it runs "make install" but I want "make". <blake2b>haider: in (modify-phases..) you want (delete 'install) <Haider>blake2b: Wouldn't that just stop the entire build proccess <blake2b>no because the thats the 'build phase <jgibbons[m]>For the past month or so, my laptop's network card stopped working every few minutes. Guix was practically useless because most of what it does takes more than a few seconds of network activity. I thought it was a network card problem, but it looks like it was fixed after I removed TLP as a system service. I should still check, did the default TLP configuration change in the time I described? <blake2b>so think of phases usually like "./configure" = 'configure, "make" = 'build, "make install" = 'install <blake2b>if you need to do some things before or after these you can add custom phases with (add-before 'build 'whatever-you-want-to-name-this-phase (body ...)) <Haider>Yeah It probably worked, Thanks man! <blake2b>np! its (usually) pretty easy when you get the hang of it. <mfg>Hi, has someone else had an error when trying to run `guix shell -C emacs'? The error i get is a mount error: invalid argument <mfg>this doesn't happen when using the `--no-cwd' option <Haider>mfg: Not for me, is your system up-to-date <mfg>well i just guix pulled but i was only 98 commits behind <Haider>Are you on the Guix operating system or a foreign distro? <mfg>this is on a foreign distro <mfg>ah yeah on guix system it also works (it's on my other machine) so this has to be something with the host distro iguess <Haider>well just update your system and reboot. If the error continues, it probably is your host system <vagrantc>rekado: eitehr a boot script or extlinux should be able to do the same thing functionally, the main functional difference is a boot script requires you to transform it with some binary headers and an extlinux.conf configuration is a plain text file <vagrantc>rekado: and what language it's implemented in (e.g. u-boot's shell vs. syslinux-style configuration syntax) <bjc>is there a built-in way of sharing an x or wayland session with ‘guix home container’? <lilyp>I'm not aware of one, but you could try adapting that huge blob of --expose lines that I used for seahorse <bjc>yeah, --expose=/tmp/.X11-unix works, i was just kind of hoping there was something built in <bjc>so i wouldn't have to be smart about whether its an x or wayland session <apteryx>ipython 8.2.0 with the full docs (even as info); phew <apteryx>which begs the question; where should the *.png files used by the ipython.info manual go? currently they sit right next to it and would be installed along it <apteryx>oh nevermind, they are in infodir/ipython-figures/*.png <jackhill>jgart: I wonder if a message to guix-devel@ about your authentication issue would be useful? I wonder if the folks who would know what happened haven't seen your message. I think a lot of the rest of us didn't run into it becasue we didn't pull at the right/wrong time. <apteryx>rekado: currently texlive-polyglossia provides a full-featured xelatex.fmt; ugly but it seems to get the job done for now <bdju>has anyone tried to package visurf? <blake2b>bdju: i thought about it, but its currently a bit of an ad-hoc setup, requiring that you grab sertain sources from netsurf but not others -- which made it seem like a bit of headache for something I (probably) won't really use <blake2b>i imagine it will become simplified after pre-release <bdju>qutebrowser audio has been broken for over a year and it's also just very slow and hogs my CPU even when seemingly doing nothing. so the idea that visurf might be a less-broken browser that is otherwise similar is pretty appealing to me <bdju>I see that there's an alpine package for visurf (likely made by Drew himself) ***bandali_ is now known as bandali
