It seems to work, so I'm probably just > missing something obvious. The magic is in the set-paths phase that is inherited from the gnu-build-system. It uses the search path specification now specified in the Emacs package to set the EMACSLOADPATH environment variable itself. When building Elisp packages, it is useful to add the current source directory to that environment variable, so that 'require' directives are able to find the package's own modules (say, when running its test suite). >> Subject: [PATCH 3/3] gnu: emacs: Adapt the autoloads auxiliary code to use >> EMACSLOADPATH. > > As far as I can tell, this looks good to me, too. > > Finally: do you anticipate that this will cause any user-visible or > backwards-incompatible changes that we should mention in the Guix > channel's news file (and in the Guix NEWS file)? Thanks for the review! I can't anticipate any user-visible changes except the current (incorrect) behavior. This change is now live on master, with commit 47b3b4c2aa49e21f4cc32c97ff7bbbd069bb849c. Thanks for testing :-). Maxim

No, my understanding is the same as yours: it looks like a bug. Fixed with commit 67ed544212. Thank you! Maxim
Emacs in server mode using a Shepherd user service (Was: Re: Emacs in multiple profiles)
Hi Maxim, Maxim Cournoyer writes: > I typically start Emacs in server mode using a shepherd user service, > so rarely restart Emacs. If it isn't too much to ask, could you share the configuration you use to accomplish this? I'd like to do something similar, and I suspect it's probably one of those things that is "easy to do" if you already know exactly what to do, and rather time-consuming to figure out otherwise. Perhaps we could make another Cook Book section about it? -- Chris signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: docker
I'm not sure what nixos-option is, but everything should be documented in the manual. For Guix System that'd be mostly here: http://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/System-Configuration.html#System-Configuration On Sun, Nov 17, 2019 at 12:13:41PM +0100, r...@tuta.io wrote: > do you know where find all system options (like nixos-option in NixOS)? > > Nov 16, 2019, 21:18 by efr...@flashner.co.il: > > > On Thu, Nov 14, 2019 at 03:54:13PM +0100, r...@tuta.io wrote: > > > >> how to install docker, run dockerd and use these in guix? > >> > > > > We have a docker service that runs dockerd > > http://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Miscellaneous-Services.html#Miscellaneous-Services > > > > Other than that, you'll want the docker-cli package for the actual > > 'docker' command. > > > > -- > > Efraim Flashner אפרים פלשנר > > GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 > > Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted > > > -- Efraim Flashner אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Tutorial: Running XFCE from Guix on a foreign distribution
Hello Guixers, Here is an end-to-end tutorial for running Guix XFCE on CentOS 7: https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/running-a-guix-xfce-desktop-on-centos-7/ It has only been tested on a special CentOS "appliance", but should be easily adaptable to other systemd-based distributions. Please share your experience trying it with other operating systems or desktop environments for an eventual cookbook entry. Enjoy! signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Hi Reza, The first thing to check is the log file, which by default is probably at /var/log/cuirass-web.log. Can you see anything in there that looks like it could relate to the problem with the evaluation page? Chris signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: Docker image not working

Docker image not working
Hello, I'm trying to use the `guix system` command to create a Docker image as documented here: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-system.html#Invoking-guix-system However, the created image does not work: $ docker run -it system:0qjxd5ljsh316ki7wqkk2xz9b68lynh2 /run/current-system/profile/bin/bash --login docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:348: starting container process caused "exec: \"/run/current-system/profile/bin/bash\": stat /run/current-system/profile/bin/bash: no such file or directory": unknown. This is the command I invoked to create the image: guix system init --no-bootloader --skip-checks --system=x86_64-linux guix-docker.scm /tmp/guix/docker-image And here is the system configuration I used: (use-modules (gnu)) (use-package-modules admin base bash less linux) (operating-system (host-name "guix") (timezone "UTC") (locale "en_US.utf8") (bootloader (bootloader-configuration (bootloader grub-bootloader) (target "/dev/null"))) (file-systems (cons (file-system (device (file-system-label "guix-system-dummy")) (mount-point "/") (type "ext4")) %base-file-systems)) (packages (append (list bash coreutils-minimal inetutils less procps which) %base-packages))) Am I missing something?
