<Deltafire>if i'm using time-machine to system reconfigure using the same commit as the current system, why is it downloading hundreds of megabytes of packages? surely they're already there

<kestrelwx>Morning.

<apteryx>why do we keep rust-bootstrap-1.54 still?

<apteryx>efraim: ^

<apteryx>ah, nevermind, it's for the arm and other architectures

<FuncProgLinux>🤔 code teams can be "proposed" via MR by anyone or should I ask the higher gnus for help? 😁

<apteryx>what do you mean?

<civodul>Hello Guix!

<mange>Good evening civodul!

<jlicht>hi guix! Is there support for installing librewolf extensions using guix?

<attila_lendvai>after a recent reconfigure my keyboard layouts have disappeared. am i alone with this?

<attila_lendvai>it's on Gnome, i must add

<jlicht>attila_lendvai: it has something to do with the libxml grafting issue; for now the 'workaround' is to use setxkbmap.

<jlicht>if you are on wayland, I don't know if there is anything that you can do at the moment

<attila_lendvai>yep, i'm on wayland

<attila_lendvai>jlicht, that's already helpful, thank you! at least i know it's not my config... i have a custom layout in ~/.config/xkb and i thought the problem is with that

<attila_lendvai>LLM says that 'GNOME 46 don’t talk to xkb directly anymore; they rely on IBus to enumerate all input sources.` and my custom layout is not listed by `ibus list-engine`. it suggests that i need to create some ibus XML and put it in ~/.config/ibus/rime/. i hope it's not indeed more complexity that has been added recently.

<Rutherther>I doubt that would work. The issue here is that gnome cannot parse xml file in the first place, so I don't know how making another xml file would fix that

<attila_lendvai>Rutherther, but everything else seems to work fine for me. shouldn't i see more pervasive problems?

<attila_lendvai>i pulled on sep 16, i'm on https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/commit/25e0b40ddf6f9699f11fc8e8c2d954502f77ad6f

<Rutherther>I don't know why you would have to see any more pervasive problems

<attila_lendvai>i (wrongly) assumed that not being able to parse xml would mean to more issues due to config files

<Rutherther>it's just libxlst that has issues

<csantosb>Hi Guix, good morning ! I'm wondering if it is possible to pull from a single channel, `(list (channel (name "mychannel" ...) ...))`

<csantosb>No guix default channel involved, I mean.

<attila_lendvai>FTR, i think this is where this issue is discusssed: https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/issues/2699

<Rutherther>attila_lendvai: sorry, libxkbcommon and libxslt, but libxslt is used elsewhere, not for input sources. See https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/2636

<Rutherther>csantosb: no, guix channel is an implicit dependency of every channel, there is no guix command or channels without guix channel

<csantosb>Oh. Not pulling again an already up to date guix just to include a new channel would be great to have.

<csantosb>By the way, any means of speeding up the fetching of CVE databases ?

<attila_lendvai>plus somethimes it's much faster/simpler to pull one commit from a channel than to also pull from the constant stream of commits to guix master...
