<Guest0>Hello, if some package has emacs lisp files, but that files are not themselves available as a separate emacs-package, can they be accessed using guix? <untrusem>can anybody link me to a package defination where one uses cargo build system to build a rust module but the original package build system is different <Guest0>my use case is like that for lilypond but for cflow which does not does not have an emacs-cflow package <Guest0>but I will check how emacs-lilypond is created <untrusem>ok there is a section in guix-cookbook about this <kurkumat>Is there a way to set breakpoint on guix build with -K, without package modification? <kurkumat>I currently just throw an error in a dummy phase 'break which I add with add-before / add-after. Which I comment in and comment out. <Tetu>hi all, is there any way to blacklist a package to be pulled as dependency? <untrusem>Tetu: just don't list it, or it varies on build systems <Tetu>I mean, suppose I want to install package_A, but this is pulling package_B. Is there any way to blacklist package_B? So, if I want to install any package that depends on package_B, then the installation fails. <untrusem>Tetu: the you will need to change the source code using substitution phase <untrusem>sneek: later tell theesm: how do you actuall use reka, supposed I am logged it, then what I don't see and specific config file for it <Tetu>sneek: what is the substitution phase? you mean that I need to change the package definition to remove that dependency, then build from source? <untrusem>Tetu: try searching for substitute* in guix repo, you will find lots of example <untrusem>and its documented in guix manual, in build utilities <Tetu>ok, I'll check the manual also. Thanks <Tetu>hi all, I have a basic question about package variants: I want to create a variant of xorg-server without dbus. I can create a new package, by using inheritance, named xorg-server-wo-dbus. But, I also want that any package that has xorg-server as input, for instance inkscape, to use xorg-server-wo-dbus as input, instead. How could I achieve this?
