Timothy Sample just published an updated “Preservation of Guix” report: Key takeaway is that 87% of the source code of packages present in #Guix today is archived via #SoftwareHeritage + #Disarchive, 77% if we look at all the packages that appeared in Guix between May 2019 and today. Interested in making a #YunoHost-like interface backed by #Guix System? Consider joining #Guix for #GSoC 👇 GCC 5.5.0 (2017) cannot be built out-of-the-box by g++/GCC 11.3.0 (2022) because g++ 11.x defaults to C++17, whereas GCC 5.5 expects C++11, which apparently has incompatible features/semantics in some places. Thanks again to the bright minds who pushed for C++ in GCC (and then left). “Gix: Literate Programming with Emacs org-mode & GNU/Guix [sic]” Looks like a nice way to integrate #Org with #Guix-based deployment of the software needed to run code snippets—sorta like Guix-Jupyter. HT to @csantosb me in 2009: Nix is cool, let’s do CI for Guile with Nix! https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2023-01/msg00121.html Besides the fun story of me hacking in circles, it’s an interesting? thought-provoking? hack on how to use Cuirass for continuous integration of code that’s not a regular Guix channel. I think it’s a use case we should work on! #GNU #Guile 3.0.9 released! It’s primarily a bug-fix release, but it also adds new POSIX bindings (‘openat’, ‘posix spawn’, etc.) among other niceties! Two #Guix Days followed by #FOSDEM with no less than 10 Guix talks: next week’s going to be busy! Come chat with us if you’re in Brussels! #Guile has a new ‘spawn’ procedure that wraps ‘posix_spawn’, and ‘system*’, ‘open-pipe’ and friends are now based on ‘posix_spawn’ as well! More robust & more efficient thank fork+exec. 👍  @civodul I got hit by it a few times, but didn't have to time to dig in, kudos to Josselin and all related people! “The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard Comes to Guix Containers” @podiki writes about the recently-added ‘guix shell --container --emulate-fhs’; check it out! Hey! The #Guix Days + #FOSDEM are approaching! Just booked my train to Brussels. Looking forward to meeting folks IRL again!! Kudos to @pjotrp & co. #GNU #Guix 1.4.0 released! 🎉 So many exciting things since 1.3.0, starting with ‘guix shell’ and Guix Home. Check it out! Plus, it comes with cute artwork by @luis_felipe.

 #GNU #Guix 1.4.0rc2 is available for testing! It’s official: the pre-FOSDEM #Guix Days are back! 🎉🌨☃ Turns out search engines were likely to lead #Guile users to the manual of 1.6, 1.8 (both unmaintained for 15+ years), or 2.9.9 (a pre-release of 3.0), all of which were lingering under gnu.org/software/guile/docs. After a discussion on IRC, I cleaned it up. Now https://gnu.org/s/guile/learn/ only links to up-to-date material. So, is it correct to point to version 3.0.8? (I'm working @ qwant). https://www.qwant.com/?q=guile+manual&client=ext-firefox-sb&t=web #GNU #Guix 1.4.0rc1 is available for testing! (Graphics courtesy of @luis_felipe 👍) The cute illustration by @luis_felipe was ready long before the code, but hey, better late than never! The “#Minimalistic & #declarative computing” #FOSDEM devroom published a CfP: If you’re into #Scheme, #Lisp, #Guix, or some other minimalistic or declarative language/framework, this is for you. 👍 Manolis, @pjotrp, and everyone organizing it! The “#Minimalistic & #declarative computing” devroom will be back at #FOSDEM! The CfP should be out soon, but in the meantime you can check out last year’s program full of lovely talks about lispy things and more: Cc: @scheme |
