Come speak at the Guix Social meetup

Hi, We're looking for speakers - of any level - to give talks at the Guix online meetup. We're a small, friendly group at all levels of experience. Talks can be about anything Guix associated, for example: - Experiences using or learning Guix - Particular commands or capabilities - deploying

Re: What does it mean when patch disappears from qa.guix.gnu.org patches list?

Hi, Generally it means: 1. Issue has been applied - check issues.guix.gnu.org and generally the committer will have left a note saying when it was committed and closing the issue. 2. If not, then it could be a failure of the QA system. Sometimes QA has to be reset and so issues are skipped

Re: Managing patches and branches, retrospective and futher changes?

Hi, I think we should strongly recommend against long-running unmerged branches. Perhaps there could be a recommendation to merge every 3 months. Could we add any automation to remind people if: 1. a branch has been unmerged for more than 3 months 2. an odd merge takes places (e.g. the

Coordinators for patch review session on Tuesday

Hi all, The next patch-review session is taking place on Tuesday 2nd of March [0] and I'd love to try pair-programming where groups can actively work on some patch reviews. Is anyone willing to 'co-ordinate' a pair programming session? Last time I set-up a cloud host and installed Upterm

Thanks for attending the first patch review session!

Proposal to turn off AOT in clojure-build-system

Hi, Guix's clojure-build-system turns on AOT compilation by default. I would like to advocate that 'as a distributor' we should *not* ship Clojure code AOT'd, so we should change the default. This has been discussed previously. In #56604 r0man noted that AOT compilation should not be on by
