<yaircul>GNU Guix so good :-D but I did not upgrade it for a while, will it break when I decide to upgrade?
<aloys>yaircul, you can try... and rollback if it does.
<YARs2>I know guix doesn't support secure boot, but is there a way to manually add it?
<sham1>You'd need the shim, most likely
<GalaxyNova>Do any of you have any tips with working with Common Lisp in Guix? (specifically making / using libraries that depend on dynlibs)
<GalaxyNova>I know there are packages like sbcl-sdl2 and such that provide everything set up for using that specific package but what if I wanted to use a CL library that was not packaged by Guix
<GalaxyNova>Or if I wanted to make my own CL library that had to depend on some .so libraries
<GalaxyNova>`cffi` seems to only search in LD_LIBRARY_PATH which is not set by default and direnv doesn't set it either
<GalaxyNova>I can add all the paths manually and I've written a script that does it automatically using pkg-config but it does seem kind of confused
<GalaxyNova>(in my .sbclrc)
<GalaxyNova>I suppose the Guix way would be to make a package for when I am developing a new CL library
<yelninei>is there a world rebuild going on right now for anyone else?
<yelninei>i guess e12b7e621717f7589d8d713942cf8040b934cd09 changes git-minimal/pinned and we are now rebuilding 10k packages per arch for zsh completion ...
<adanska>it appears so... whoops! though i am glad that issue has been fixed, it has been bugging me for a while
<adanska>No reverts please!!
<adanska>just let those build farms whirr...
<kestrelwx>o/
<futurile>hi kestrelwx
<yelninei>great, my deliberately minimal test system now depends on rust for the documentation for btrfs-progs ...
<futurile>yuck!
<yelninei>at least the documentation is now memory safe!
<yelninei>also I dont understand why there is a lot of fuzz about something with 3k dependants but 10k is fine because it fixes my issue? What if everyone starts yoloing things like that?
<kestrelwx>Where is that?
<kestrelwx>Oh, I see it.
<adanska>yelninei, well... it is bad. I think this was an honest mistake though... but the builds have already started and there will certainly be no new breakages so reverting would be a waste of energy. But yeah, perhaps some more diligence regarding rebuilds is due
<adanska>although this doesnt happen too often
<apteryx>can't seem to fetch codeberg at the moment
<yelninei>the problem is that relying on "guix refresh -l" is not enough because it only counts for the arch you are running and does not consider inheritance, etc
<adanska>yeah, a more aware guix refresh -l would be very welcome
<yelninei>at least because of that i now founds out that my system depends on rust again ...
<kestrelwx>apteryx: Yeah, I couldn't connect with SSH for a bit.
