<damo22>root@zamhurd:~# nproc

<damo22>2

<damo22>pretty much unusable though

<damo22>janneke: does mes work on hurd?

<janneke>damo22: version 0.22 of mes was partially ported to the hurd

<janneke>mescc did not fully run as fork and exec were not implemented yet in mes lib c

<janneke>there may have been some bitrot since then, haven't tested tbh

<damo22>its nice that gs works in spl now

<damo22>i couldnt get that to work before

<janneke>damo22: yeah, the code has bitrotted just a bit

<janneke>mostly goofs on my (the mes) side, however does this ring any bell?

<janneke>lib/gnu/task-get-special-port.c:30: undefined reference to `mach_msg_type_int32'

<janneke>nevermind, mach_msg_type_int32 is a mes thing

<gnucode>good morning you smart people!

<gnucode>I have to leave in about 15 minutes. But good morning ya'll.

<gnucode>rms: is on the Hurd channel? That's kind of cool.

<gnucode>janneke: I have been running Sergey's terrible mdns responder for a while now. it works pretty swell. It would be pretty cool to package it as a guix service.

<gnucode>nckx: good talking to you yesterday by the way. :)

<Arsen>I'm not sure that's actually him

<gnucode>Arsen: oh. interesting.

<Arsen>see /whois

<gnucode>Arsen: when I type in whois Arsen, It mentions you are a gentoo developer.

<gnucode>and what looks like something resembling an email address?

<gnucode>Also gentoo developer seems cool. How long have you been the general in charge of gentoo?

<gnucode>hahaha! There's someone with the nick GNUmoon ! That's hilarious!

<Arsen>you mean 'Arsen is Arsen!arsen@gentoo/developer/managarm.dev.Arsen (Arsen Arsenović)'? by component, that is '<nickname> is <nickname>!<ident>@<host> (<realname>)'. in my case, I have a vhost, so that shows as gentoo/developer/mangarm.dev.Arsen

<Arsen>I've been a gentoo developer for something like nine months now? unsure. I wouldn't say that I'm in charge though, gentoo has lots of devs contributing ;P

<gnucode>yes. that is what I was curious abuot.

<gnucode>Arsen: you're not in charge yet. :) I have to go soon, but thanks for the explanation. I'm curious why you seem so interested in Gentoo.

<gnucode>Well I got to go. See ya'll around!

<janneke>damo22: i've resurrected building of bin/mes on the wip-hurd branch

<janneke>you need to configure using --with-courage

<janneke>many syscalls are stubbed and only the scheme interpreter bin/mes can be built

<gnucode>howdy friends!

<foggy67>hello

<gnucode>foggy67: good afternoon.

<gnucode>What could the Hurd use GNU Mes for? Just build everything from source obviously...

<janneke>gnucode: i don't see much use in the foreseeable future for mes on the hurd, but damo22 asked and i made a minimal port once, so...

<janneke>gnucode: i don't know about mdns; guix comes with avahi, might that work?

<gnucode>janneke: unfortunately not. sergey tried to get avahi to work on the Hurd, and he said there were lots of reasons that it didn't work.

<gnucode>I personally am not using childhurds. :)

<janneke>gnucode: okay, thanks for the headsup

<gnucode>yup anytime
