Recently (past week?), #Guix proper passed the 30K package limit, all free software!

How much should the package collection in Guix proper grow, though? There are consistency, QA, and sustainability challenges.

It seems that I figured out how to fix "Draft" workbench in the FreeCAD 0.21.2 from GNU Guix: Currently I need to switch to AppImage version of FreeCAD when I need "Draft" workbench.
avp
Hooray! My "python-pivy" patches were merged by Guillaume Le Vaillant: Now FreeCAD can be build with Guix again and its "Draft" workbench should be working properly.

My patch that fixes Guile-Lib tests with Guile 2.2 was merged into GNU Guix:

 @avp the word gallop comes from French, while Swedish löpa, which I am pretty sure is the same as Norwegian løp is a much older word which is found in various versions in Danish and Icelandic too. It can also be found in English as the word leap. Now, my French is not very good so I'm not sure how to investigate the etymology of that word.

After almost two days of work I managed to update PrusaSlicer to the latest (at the moment) version 2.7.4 in GNU Guix. Here's the patchset:

It turns out that in Norwegian "Gå løp" literally means "Go run". Not sure if those words in Norwegian are used together in such way very often, but at least I found some examples. I'm amused that this sounds almost exactly like "Gallop" in English (BTW, there's a word "Галоп" in Russian that sounds almost identical to "Gallop".)

#IPFS #Kubo (inter planetary file system) is available at the latest version in #Guix. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=46a9857ab0fffbe6360e925a808dda6e3a835971 Thanks @avp for taking the maintenance flag! Ongoing work of unbundling the huge vendor list would make the other #golang packages much easier to appear.

Guile-PNG got updated to 0.7.3 in GNU Guix:

Folks, I've got tired of programming and this IT stuff. I'm working 5 days a week on the day job, busy with teaching people how to program, and then I'm writing code on evenings and weekends contributing to FOSS. At the same time this Russian reality keeps getting darker and darker. I'm thinking about starting my own garage punk-rock band to play topical music in basements and subways. A friend of a friend of mine (mesalliance) created this poster of me for the future release. WDYT?

I implemented 90 degree clockwise/counter-clockwise rotation algorithm for Guile-PNG. The procedures aren't perfect yet but they work. I used this article as the reference:

It turned out that I can rotate an image with a much simpler algorithm when I working with a copy of an image:
