<Kabouik>untrusem: are yu referring to aarch64 builds? Thanks, that'd be pretty cool. <Kabouik>stephen: not really, it's heavily AI-assisted consiering how iterative it is, so there's not muc to brag abou really. But I'll make a quick demo video eventually when it is where I want. <Kabouik>Posting from the device and Guix system by the way. :) <Kabouik>Some keypresses lost in my message de to poor SSH stability I think (my IRC client runs on another PC). <ppc64be>what do i do if i want to pass an environment variable to a guix home service? i want to start emacs with shepherd but i don't know what to do about passing a valid GPG_TTY, i already have to work around GPG not being unlocked at boot by decrypting a file and entering PIN through pinentry-curses, and afterwards i can use gpg functionality in emacs. but, the variable is set to the login shell TTY, not my interactive TTY, so i have to <ppc64be>reset it to a valid $(tty). i don't know what the best way to approach this would be <czan>Is it possible to set an environment at Emacs' startup to make that work? Or would you need to set it based on the frame you're using? <ppc64be>i may have found a solution, there is a pinetry-emacs program available, trying to set that up now <ieure>I use pinentry-emacs, it works fine. <ieure>sneek, Later tell ppc64be I'm not sure how you're starting Emacs directly from Shepherd, but the `make-forkexec-constructor' procedure common in daemon services accepts an `#:environment-variables' key. <cbaines>is there any hope that the big changes in gnome-team can be merged along with mesa-updates? <cbaines>I've got no idea what on the gnome-team branch affects 60%+ of packages, but it's wasteful to change so much in quick succession <PotentialUser-72>Any advice if I'm a nixos-like user? I use finix, I like guix and non-guix but afaik I can't deploy it to routers, phones etc. <csantosb>Good morning Guix, Python people, I just noticed that `tree $(guix build diffoscope)`, gives a lot of .pyc stuff <csantosb>Do we include in packages also __pycache__ directories ?
