We also have Varnish, a web caching proxy that excels at tasks like this, and is used by some CDNs such as Fastly.

Re: How to package inputrc
In order to achieve this more elegant I could write a simple service to copy the file to /etc. Another option would be a small package. I like the service idea a lot better. It appears to me that Guix is designed for services to deal with the more customizable parts of the installation, whereas packages are standard. /etc/inputrc is one of those things each system admin would want to customize, just like most of the things in /etc.
Re: gcc-10 toolchain does not include string to numeric conversion functions like std::stoull
Hi, On Monday, July 13, 2020 4:21 PM, Ludovic Courtès wrote: > Unfortunately I haven’t dug further. Help welcome! > > Thanks, > Ludo’. I'd like to help but I don't know where to start (yet). I've found the same issue in older gcc-toolchains. 9.3.0 and 8.4.0 also fail. Many functions are affected, strtol, stoi... all have the same issue. Looks _GLIBCXX_USE_C99_STDLIB is not set as you said so it fails to make any of these conversions from std::string. Do you know any gcc version where this works? Thanks

New Guix-Science mailing list!

One of the things we discussed as a followup was the creation of a proper mailing list (guix-...@gnu.org is just an alias, which was fine when there was just a handful of people but doesn’t scale well…). So… drum roll… here’s a new Guix-Science mailing list! https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guix-science We can use it to discuss use cases for reproducible research, HPC, and all that. Broader discussions should still go to help-guix and guix-devel. As for other project communication channels, guix-science members are subject to the code of conduct: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/CODE-OF-CONDUCT I’ve shared the mailing list admin password with Ricardo and Tobias, but if someone wants to fill that role, please let us know!

To be clear, guix-website-test actually makes a search query on a Data Service instance, right? I guess that explains part of the slowness, but maybe we could tweak nginx to keep search results in cache for a few hours. Florian raised an important issue regarding the possibility of denial of service. Ideas on how to mitigate that, either in the Data Service, or nginx at guix.gnu.org? > I'd like to know if you find the page useful so that I can hopefully start > working on incorporating the search functionality into this page: > https://guix.gnu.org/packages/. I’d be happy to see that happen! We would need the changes against guix-artwork.git as well as (maybe) changes to the nginx config in maintenance.git. How should we proceed? Thanks! Ludo’.

Hello, YP skribis: > I always wondering why it was not integrated on guix.gnu.org, but this > functionality is already available at https://hpc.guix.info/browse and > seems to have many functionalities asked in comments :) As discussed in the thread Danjela mentioned, the search feature at hpc.guix.info requires JavaScript, and that’s the main reason why it’s not available on guix.gnu.org: we wanted to have a JS-free option, or at least “progressive enhancement” (JS-free for those who want it, and JS-heavy for others).

Hey Ludo! > Great job on all these packages, and great review by Danny, too! Thank you! > Danny, what’s your plan wrt. merging ‘wip-desktop’ in ‘master’ or > ‘staging’? It looks like there are loads of good stuff in there. Btw, I initially planned to work on four DEs, but practically only one was feasible. I am planning to finish-up gnome at the end of this month. So starting August, I could start testing the wip-desktop branch as-a-whole, in a VM and then work with Danny to merge it to master. Regards, RG. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

What was this bug exactly? I know Bonface addressed an issue related to how the Python 2.4 build system would capture the kernel version via ‘uname’ a build time: https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/guix-past/-/commit/d1977f5dccd73341f363cfa8d58ae3f2b2700ad7 But presumably you’re referring to something else, right?
