That's not something I know that much about. I assume they should use
the same amount of amperage, but I have no basis for that. My guess is
that if it is different it's not going to vary by very much.

guix pull fails because substitution fails

2020-12-12 Thread Thorsten Wilms
Hi!

Trying to update several days old guix, `guix pull` fails due to “some
substitutes for the outputs of derivation
`/gnu/store/mvf88n2v90jjxg9n8b315p22r6jrkbyb-libx11-1.6.A.drv' failed”

```
$ guix pull

Last I checked DDR3L SODIMMs use 1.35V of power. The DDR4 DIMMS I have
on my desk also say 1.35V.

Re: Racket (require gregor)

2020-12-12 Thread jgart
There is not a racket-build-system for guix yet, atleast to my knowledge. 

I see we just got a chicken-build-system though :).

Is anyone working on a racket-build-system?

Re: Racket (require gregor)

2020-12-12 Thread yasu
Thank you Tobias, it worked! 


I ended up modifying below section as shown:

~/.racket/7.9/pkgs/tzinfo/tzinfo/private$ nvim zoneinfo.rkt

(define default-zoneinfo-search-path

  (list
(path->string
  (build-path
(string-replace
  (with-output-to-string
(lambda ()
(system "guix build tzdata"))) "\n" "" )
"share" "zoneinfo"))
"/usr/share/zoneinfo"
"/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo"
"/etc/zoneinfo"))


But surely this is not the way to do it in Guix...

I wonder if there is a proper Guix integration for Racket's raco
package manager?
