Ping!  Hello again, are you willing to send an updated patch, putting
'seren' in "gnu/packages/telephony.scm" and making other changes
according to
?

Sorry for bothering, your patch is mostly OK, but it would be nice if
seren was in (gnu packages telephony) module, thanks!

As for me, I would also disable the tests.  All these handmade Makefiles
in all sub-directories are a nightmare.  I think trying to figure out
what is needed to run the tests doesn't worth it.

Also don't forget to add a copyright line for yourself in the beginning
of "admin.scm".

Re: [PATCH] gnu: Add fontconfig-path-max.

[rennes]

Hello,

thanks for the explanation.



Now regarding the patch, what is the status on upstream? Are those
fontconfig patches present in fontconfig upstream?



The current release is 2.12.0, and still uses the constant PATH_MAX.
And I have not found any related patch for this detail.

Thanks

A test relating to an included perl module Filesys::di fails.  I hadn't
intended to include that module in the package, as all I'm interested in
is the 'di' binary.  Given that, I would suggest that we bypass the
tests.

This error is weird. As you can see from my patches, I have
name+email set, so git merge should complaint about a missing
name unless I was using a bad configuration, but
user.name and user.email are set.

Currently we apply patches regardless of where it is running.

But one way to check the system is like in (gnu packages base)

(define* (glibc-for-target #:optional
   (target (or (%current-target-system)
   (%current-system
  "Return the glibc for TARGET, GLIBC/LINUX for a Linux host or
GLIBC/HURD for a Hurd host"
  (match target
((or "i586-pc-gnu" "i586-gnu") glibc/hurd)
(_ glibc/linux)))

If %current-target-system is not #f then we are cross-building for the
value inside it. %current-system has the value of the system we are
running on.

Now regarding the patch, what is the status on upstream? Are those
fontconfig patches present in fontconfig upstream?

Other than that, it looks good to me.

Thank you for helping on this,
Manolis.

gexps and ‘with-imported-modules’

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello!

The ‘wip-gexp-imported-modules’ branch changes gexps so that each gexp
embeds information about which modules need to be imported into its
execution environment.

Before you would do:

  (gexp->derivation "foo"
#~(begin
(use-modules (guix build utils))
…)
#:modules '((guix build utils)))

to specify that (guix build utils) must be imported in the build
environment of “foo”.  After, it becomes:

  (gexp->derivation "foo"
(with-imported-modules '((guix build utils))
  #~(begin
  (use-modules (guix build utils))
  …)))

The gain (not visible here) is that when you nest gexps, the outermost
gexp now contains all the info about modules that need to be imported.
That way, no side channel is needed to carry the imported module info
(by “side channel”, I mean things like the ‘imported-modules’ field
currently found in  and several other places.)  Thus,
it should be easier to compose gexps.

I plan to merge it within a day or two.

Comments welcome!

Ludo’.

If you share the X11 socket file and set $DISPLAY to the right value,
then you should be able to make that happen:

guix environment --container --network --share=/tmp/.X11-unix
--ad-hoc icecat
export DISPLAY=":0.0"
icecat

Do note that the above code gives icecat full access to the X11 server
and the host's network interfaces, so it's not exactly a locked down
environment.

Perhaps we could use a command line switch to automatically do this
sort of thing.

I don't think so.  The main Makefile calls make in the 'C' directory,
which has its own Makefile, so for the variables to be visible in that
second make process, they need to be environment variables.

You are right. There are some local issues and workflows I have

Thanks for this! Can you try building the python-3 version as well, and
then using package-with-python2 to make python2-protobuf?

Thanks for this rng-tools package!

I made some cosmetic changes, added some details about the licensing,
cleaned up the commit message, added you to the list of authors, and
pushed as 9b0942c1b0.

Thanks for doing this housekeeping! Hopefully we can maintain the order
in the future :)

In the interest of consistency, I re-wrote the commit message in the
style of the only related commit I could find, f0644195. It's easier to
read the commit log when we establish conventions and stick to them.

Did you try setting `#:test-target "test"` in the arguments? The

Great!

I found that setuptools was not required for urwidtrees, so I removed
it, added changelogs to the commit messages, and pushed as a2cb16b0c.

So it should add ntfs-3g and the comment about reiserfs, right?

What branch should it go on?

Also, it would be good to push this series and the Sphinx series
together.

$ guix refresh -l python-sphinx python2-sphinx python-pytest python2-pytest
Building the following 84 packages would ensure 229 dependent packages are

The program claims to support Python 3 and Python 2. It also has a test

But, it fails the test suite.

Can you try to make it work?

Update: currently some refactoring is happening, grothf just
started refactoring the client api which requires every service
to be modified, which takes some time.
There's no guesstimated date, but we should not expect an release

[PATCH] gnu: Add emacs-eprime

[Roel Janssen]

Dear Guix,

Here's a fairly trivial patch to add an eprime-mode for Emacs.  The
author hasn't made a release (at least not on Github), so I grabbed
the source by the most recent commit (June 27, 2014), and used a version
number compatible with how it is used in MELPA.

Hopefully this is OK to push.
Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,
Roel Janssen

Cross-building GuixSD (and maybe using pre-built toolchains)

[Paul Boddie]

Hello,

I've been looking at FSF-endorsed Free Software distributions and found 
GuixSD, and I have a few questions about bootstrapping the distribution for 
another architecture.

I was looking at the documentation, which is rather more helpful than most 
distributions when it comes to describing how the actual distribution archives 
are built, and I figured a few things out about guix-daemon. However, I'm 
doing all my work in a chroot - I don't want to "make install" and populate 
various locations on my main system - and this doesn't seem to be entirely 
compatible with the recommended way the daemon is used. Specifically, the 
daemon does not seem to be able to build anything unless I specify the --
disable-chroot flag.

Are there any recommended methods of running guix-daemon in a chroot and have 
it create new chroots, or do I have to use some kind of virtualisation or 
container technology? Is any kind of fakeroot/fakechroot mechanism supported?

One thing that looks very promising is the ability to cross-bootstrap the 
system, and I did manage to get that started for a new architecture (mipsel) 
by performing some modifications suggested in the documentation [1], running 
guix-daemon with the --disable-chroot flag, and then running this:

guix build --target=mipsel-linux-gnu bootstrap-tarballs

However, not wanting to leave my computer switched on all night, I stopped the 
build after a while. I can understand the need to bootstrap things like 
toolchains, but given that I am running Debian which has cross-toolchains for 
mipsel, I wondered if I could short-circuit this process by employing pre-
built toolchains. Would this be possible?

Finally, it seems to be the case that the workflow involves building a 
bootstrapped minimal system and then natively building packages. Or have I 
misunderstood the process? Is it possible to cross-build all of the packages 
in the distribution?

I hope I haven't missed anything that tells me the answers to all of these 
questions.

Thanks in advance for any answers you may have!

Paul

This is long overdue - my intention was to keep netcat-openbsd to
track the development of the openbsd one, but it appears not happened
that way.

Some of them was sent, but getting few responses.

I don't treat this netcat-openbsd a full fork even if it's targeting
an older revision at the moment. Also, maintaining patches are very
easy using the git-buildpackage[1] tools for Debian packages.

I think it is hardly possible to provide another tarball because
there's no way of doing that with current Debian infrastructure. But
you can apply those patches easily using quilt[2]. In Debian, patches
are applied automatically when extracting the source package using
dpkg-source.

No problem.

[PATCH 0/2] Add 'magit-popup' dependency to the 'guix' package

[Alex Kost]

As discussed on help-guix list (somewhere near
), this is
to make it possible to use "M-x guix" by default (currently emacs gives an
error about missing 'magit-popup' unless a user explicitly installs magit).

[PATCH 1/2] gnu: Add emacs-magit-popup.
[PATCH 2/2] gnu: guix: Add emacs-magit-popup to propagated-inputs.

[PATCH 2/2] gnu: guix: Add emacs-magit-popup to propagated-inputs.

[Alex Kost]

* gnu/packages/package-management.scm (guix-0.10.0): Add
'emacs-magit-popup' to make it possible to use "M-x guix" command.

It would be easier for others to test this if this were simply a patch
that we could apply on master.  Much easier than following manual
instructions.

Have you checked what files are installed by your pyqt-4 package?  Do
any of the files that are searched for appear in the output of that
package?

You haven’t finished packaging all dependencies.  The “pythondialog”
package is also required.

The fact that it searches for libraries or packages in so many paths is
normal, because it only has a list of search paths.  It would be nice to
fix this in a general fashion one day (because all this searching takes
up time), but it’s harmless.  If the needed file is on a search path it
will eventually be found.
