In the conversation about #guix sustainability I've talked a few times about Clojure Together which I think is a great example of "making things happen" (originally by just one person Daniel Compton) in a small community. Clojure is a small community compared to Python/Rust or whatever - but this project has been great for the Clojure community - recognising, supporting and sustaining improvements. Could equally apply to #guile #scheme

New video - How to update packages in #guix and contribute them to the project. Goes through each step, for someone who wants to be a new contributor. Tries to covers the tools, steps and a check-list to go through so someone can 'follow along'. With a practical example - updating borgmatic.

Full video here:

Uses #guix, #guile, #vim, #stackedgit, #git, #emacs, #git and #debbugs with ❤️

This Tuesday @ekaitz_zarraga (sponsored by @nlnet ) will be talking about the mission to boot #riscv in #guix and it's importance for #trust and #security in #linux. Come along and learn about this interesting #architecture and some of the challenges of bootstrapping a #foss / #opensource platform. Details here:

Want to learn about reviewing #guix patches? Just published jgarts talk about using Mumi and RDE:

youtu.be/8m8igXrKaqU?si=xfFhcd

He discusses using RDE to configure email and git-send-email which is such a big pain point - on #fedora or any foreign distribution (for me that's #ubuntu). Also some chat about #GNU debbugs instance and how Mumi makes it easy to use!

@futurile @spritelyinst I haven't watched (not sure if I have the guts lol) but I know I did not make the editing easy on you what with the many instances of technical difficulties. THANK YOU!!!

Jonathan Frederickson

@futurile @dthompson @spritelyinst Wooo! I wasn't able to make it to the meetup live so I've been looking forward to this. Gonna watch it this weekend :)

@futurile thanks for sharing. I never make it to the live sessions.

@dthompson @spritelyinst that's some work you've done already. Looking forward to the future...

📌 guix develop (≈ docker compose)
📌 Distributed Shepherd
📌 Distributed substitutes
📌 Guix, the OCap OS

📌 Native + Web builds of Guile games from the same source

It sounds great to me :)

Video of the interview with #guix founder @civodul is available. A great chat about the #nix deployment model, his interested in #guile and #free software. Lots of interesting chat about motivation in #freesoftware, #gnu and #linux - as well as the Plan9-ification of Guix!!

Want to learn more about #guix? Our next online patch review hackers session is on Friday 3rd May - tomorrow! Times are:

17:00 UTC / 18:00 BST / 19:00 CEST / 13:00 EDT

All the details of how how to get started learning about #guix packaging are on the Wiki as well as the Jitsi links:

libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Gui

#guix is similar to #nix but uses #lisp #scheme language for declaring the #linux environment.

New post in the #Guix packaging series! All about how inputs (libraries and utilities) that are needed to build a package are defined. Covers inputs, native-inputs and propagated-inputs. And, how to create your own package variants using modify-inputs - we slim down Weechat by 50% as a worked example 🎆

futurile.net/2024/03/29/guix-p

Not sure about how it compares to #nix, but for #guix this is a key area of packaging - hope all the examples make sense!

Clojure packages in Guix are AOT compiled. I'm proposing to change the default to *off*. This is because Clojure's AOT ABI is not guaranteed: so versions of libraries built by one version of Java may not work with another from what I understand. Got a view? Would love comment on guix-devel:
