What does "out-of-tree" exactly mean ?
Recent change -> 0.10.2 will be out soon™. For the collaborative Gentoo overlay I share work with, many packages I contributed either originate there or got their first year of practice and debugging there and when I started to contribute to Guix, they started moving into Guix master. However we have some packages which can not make it into guix master in their (current) form (one example: powwow. unaltered it came into Guix, but we still patch it for Gentoo. Best case scenario would be to patch it upstream). I am testing for the best way to transition the packages which do not fit into Guix master to a form which does not depend on maintaining another Guix checkout (too many wip packages on my side, and it must mean low maintenance costs). This is what I mean with out-of-tree. > >> >> Fyi, I tried with most recent head and tests no longer fail it seems. >> > > This is one more reason to provide a package from a checkout. Maybe, maybe not. I'll see that I append a revision-less patch later today. Builds does not always mean "runs". And it still requires (for GuixSD) the service for best experience. I'm slow with that. -- ♥Ⓐ ng0 Current Keys: https://we.make.ritual.n0.is/ng0.txt For non-prism friendly talk find me on http://www.psyced.org
