@FreeCAD Welcome back to the Fediverse! 🎉

@FreeCAD wow! Could you add some text as ALT description, ppplease?

I gonna leave my job in 1st June. I'm looking for free software contracts. If you have one, please contact me. I do web backends, scripting and system programming on basic level (I think I can handle it, I just lack real-world experience). I have about 4-5 years of commercial proprietary experience and also 10+ years personal programming experience.

My email: w96k@runbox.com

I'm planning for now doing my side project, but any foss job would be much appreciated. Thank you for your attention.

My main interests are GNU toolchain, GNU/Linux systems, GNU Guix, NixOS, GNU Emacs, GNU Guile, C (gcc), Common Lisp, PHP, Python and some other programming languages. I can use Symfony, Django on backend, but I don't like to stick to frameworks much.

Another bunch of my patches was accepted into GNU Guix:
- "tran" package provides a tool for text transliteration.
- "go-github-com-warpfork-go-wish" -- A indirect dependency of Kubo. Unfortunately it's not maintained by its author.
- Several packages from Pion project (pion.ly/) -- some of them are used by Kubo.
- A patch that fixes xdot 1.3.

Just packaged "python-augeas" for GNU #Guix:
debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.

This package is also a #FreedomBox dependency:
github.com/freedombox/FreedomB

I suppose that there's a lot of work needs to be done to package the whole FreedomBox and packaging "python-augeas" is just a small step in that direction.

@avp It looks promising, just a bunch of #django modules which may be available in #guix already.

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

Third-party channels bring tens of thousands more packages.

For scientific usage: hpc.guix.info/channels
General purpose: toys.whereis.xn--q9jyb4c/chann

Ludovic Courtès

How much should the package collection in Guix proper grow, though?

There are consistency, QA, and sustainability challenges.

@civodul sadly a bunch of channels contain propietary software.

It seems that I figured out how to fix "Draft" workbench in the FreeCAD 0.21.2 from GNU Guix:
debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.

Currently I need to switch to AppImage version of FreeCAD when I need "Draft" workbench.

#guix #guix_patches #freecad

Hooray! My "python-pivy" patches were merged by Guillaume Le Vaillant:
git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix

Now FreeCAD can be build with Guix again and its "Draft" workbench should be working properly.

FWIW, now I have a Bitcoin wallet so if you like what I do you can support me by donating some Bitcoins:

@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.

@loke Thanks for the explanation!

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:
debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.

#gnu #guix #prusa3d

PrusaSlicer 2.7.4 installed with GNU Guix, showing my 2021 GitHub statistics STL file sliced.

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.

git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix

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.
