<florhizome[m]><florhizome[m]> "When i try to Install a package,..." <- https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/58247

<florhizome[m]>could it be that my User profile has a manifest incompatibility 🤔

<zesty-sandwich>"Using guix time-machine results in unsupported manifest format error" https://issues.guix.gnu.org/58247

<Kolev>Does Guix still have pip? https://issues.guix.gnu.org/49904

<zesty-sandwich>"python-pip package in the Guix repo" https://issues.guix.gnu.org/49904

<apteryx>'guix pack -f rpm hello' update: generated rpm package now validates & installs!

<apteryx>perhaps the only non-rpmbuild rpm generator out there

<apteryx>Kolev: pip is bundled with python

<apteryx>(currently)

<jackhill>apteryx: very cool, thanks!

<jackhill>apteryx: not to rain on your parade, but what about fpm?

<unmatched-paren>hello guix :)

<unmatched-paren>the mako package is broken :(

<abrenon>hello guix

<sneek>Welcome back abrenon, you have 3 messages!

<sneek>abrenon, nckx says: A hack (but totally legitimate fix) would be to replace the thousand of symlinks with hard links.

<sneek>abrenon, nckx says: I don't actually see any disadvantage to that.

<sneek>abrenon, nckx says: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=aed385e18ec7b68a0bc1bb4b173aeadc9cd97245 but note the caveat for home builders… and it's ‘only’ halved.

<abrenon>nckx: wow that's a great fix, I wouldn't even have dreamt of it

<abrenon>I wonder if there wouldn't be some optimization to perform at the directory level, since it's SVG I guess all the resolutions (24x24, 48x48…) must contain the exact same files

<abrenon>but that would probably require more work than is needed

<abrenon>regarding your comment about the source, the source is about 100k inodes, the real problem to me is the expanded build which was over 1M inodes

<mekeor[m]>how long will people hang around tomorrow, thursday, at guix days? there is no programme, afaik.

<ae_chep>'guix days' ?

<ae_chep>is there something happening?

<gabber`>i thought i had missed something, but i guess it's described here: https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2023/meet-guix-at-fosdem-2023/

<gabber`>"As was the case pre-pandemic, we are also organizing the Guix Days as a FOSDEM fringe event, a two-day Guix workshop where contributors and enthusiasts will meet"

<mekeor[m]>ae_chep: https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/FOSDEM2023

<Guest46>is the gnu website down?

<mrvdb>Is there a way to specify a local package definition and have dependencies follow the override? For example, i leave out 'aalib' as input for gst-plugins-good (fails on ppc64). On every upgrade i have to respecify that every time. Tried using the same name locally, but that just issues a warning 'ambiguous...' and takes the default.

<mrvdb> https://dpaste.org/byZZk is my local define now

<f3n1x>ahós guixers of the world !

<broken_fontconfi>hi I'm trying to build fontconfig-minimal but it fails at a test, couldn't find any information online and the test failure is quite obscure

<broken_fontconfi>`output is in 'out', expected output in 'out.expected'`

<broken_fontconfi>`/gnu/store/5riz6vz07gj63z14kw763zb049bdb6x4-fontconfig-minimal-2.13.94.drv`

<nckx>broken_fontconfi: Hullo! Is that error reproducible, i.e., does it happen each time you retry ‘guix build $that-drv’? Maybe try -c1 to rule out parallelisation bugs?

<nckx>My substitute server has it, so it must be buildable *somehow*.

<broken_fontconfi>nckx yes, it fails every time, just tried running with -c1 (guix build $drv -c1) and still the same failure

<nckx>ACTION tries.

<nckx>…it does not fail here. Could you host/paste the log file somewhere and share it here?

<gabber`>nckx: are the IRC logs for today missing?

<nckx>Oh bother. I guess so, if you're asking.

<nckx>Apparently goggles-the-bot has trouble with months.

<nckx>They are not missing, but appended to 2023-01-31.log.

<gabber`>poor goggles
