Rust dependency on git
Hi Guix, The latest stable rust (version 1.35.0) appears to require git as a native-input since the tidy test (which checks for code formatting in the rust repo) fails because it cannot run `git ls-files`. I saw a comment in the rust package definition that git changes too frequently to be kept as an input[1]. Is anyone aware if this is still a problem? I'd rather avoid having to patch the test suite tools to ignore this test if it is as simple as adding "git" as a native input. cc Marius who added this line according to the history. --Ivan [1]: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/rust.scm?id=e26d628b0fabf5a0aa7c4164a9558c66c61e02ab#n467
Re: Documentation videos are being uploaded!
Seconding Tim’s sentiments :) I think the videos will be fantastic resources for newcomers and Guix enthusiasts in general, and we can’t thank Laura, Paul, and everyone else involved enough! I for one can’t wait to find some free time on my hands to binge-watch the whole series.

I'm not a native English speaker, and I also though it was a bit slow, but also thought the pace could help other people, so I really don't mind. And I find Paul's voice very clear; I think it will make it easy to understand the videos.

The pace in general is quite nice. Like you say, it is very calm and easy to follow. It was only the URL part that felt a little slow. > Like Gábor said, this is a temporary upload for the community.

The method I use to track packages is to search at https://guix-hpc.bordeaux.inria.fr/browse In this case a search for 'totem' points to the definition at gnu/packages/gnome.scm, line 3845. If you take a look at the definition you can see how the dependencies are specified. I am not very familiar with the Gnome packages but I could imagine there may be a difference between the Debian list of dependencies and the Guix list. Perhaps your test has revealed a bug in the Guix packaging of totem. Best regards, Paul.
Re: Documentation videos are being uploaded!
Hi Guix! Thanks for the feedback, I didn't expect such a long thread of mails and being happy with them :) As regards Paul's voice, I believe it depends on each person. For me it is a little slow but also very clear and kind of calm. And I guess the timing is based on the recordings that I did with my voice, so sorry for that :/ Like Gábor said, this is a temporary upload for the community. I will be uploading the next videos ASAP, they are already made and they exist, but I want to polish the matching of the CLI session videos as much as possible with the audios. Picky Laura. I'll let you know when I finish uploading all of them. Having more topics to cover with videos is great! We should need to change the 3 min constrain, please :P Regards :) Laura

I am testing with totem version 3.26.0 on Ubuntu 18.04. I found the reason for this. I have a minimal installation of Ubuntu 18.04. I installed all the software I need with guix instead of apt, so I was using the version of totem that comes with guix. I removed this version and installed the one that comes with apt, and noticed that it also installed: gir1.2-totem-1.0, gir1.2-totemplparser-1.0, libtotem0 and totem-common, and after that, I didn't find anymore segmentation faults. I searched just a little on the web and found this: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/gir1.2-totem-1.0 Then, I removed the version of totem that comes with ubuntu and tried again with the one that comes with guix and the same result :/ I wanted to take a look at how totem was packaged but I can't find it, I feel so newbie right now :( Regards! Laura
Re: Video narration
Hi Laura, > BTW, I finished generating the videos. > Sth weird happens with totem. I end up having a segmentation fault, Did this problem resolve itself? I tested 01-installation-from-script on my system without seeing any interruption. I am testing with totem version 3.26.0 on Ubuntu 18.04. Best regards, Paul.
