Re: Need people to help with kernel updates
Hello everyone, It seems that linux-libre 6.6 will be released soon. Would anyone like to try their hand at packaging it for Guix? Wilko, do you feel up to it? As I mentioned previously, this requires a bit more work than minor kernel upgrades because the kernel configs need to be updated. I'm happy to assist with this, give advice, etc. Leo

I agree about this. When I packaged passff-host locally some time ago, I saw it
has a runtime dependency on python and also needs to be able to find the pass
binary. I've attached the bare (unfinished/unpolished) package definition
extracted from my local channel and attached it, for if it is of assistance to
folks. My definition tries to embed a sane path for finding pass with a default
of the path to the password-store package it was built against, and also tries
to copy the passff.json into the correct browser folder for Chromium, Firefox,
and Icecat based on the packaged install_host_app.sh script (note: I have only
used it with Icecat).
Cheers,

Re: Divvying up service definitions
> I dont think there's any problem wrt categorization. For your Kerberos > example, either would be fine as they're not mutually exclusive. > (though I'd lean towards 'authentication' here) sure, but the crux of the issue here is how to improve code readability; i.e. would it make the humans working on the Guix codebase more effective. if all the 3 options are equally reasonable, then some people will have to check two places before they find it in the third. with such a codebase people will develop a habit of just using multi-file grep to find stuff... which is arguably a better strategy to begin with. and it's worth pointing it out here that following grep'able patterns like `define.*kerberos` highly facilitates code navigation, and especially so for newcomers. this is one of the features of lisp(ers) that i badly miss in many other languages/cultures. and arguably, this is much more important than the placement of the definitions. and while i'm ranting, another useful strategy is to give unique names to abstractions, and make sure that wherever these abstractions are employed, that name shows up in the source code; i.e. it can be grap'ped. IOW, names should not be e.g. programmatically assembled in DWIM'ish ways, unless it is a frequent enough pattern that the loss of grep'pability is worth it. or abstractions should not be hidden behind late binding, unless it's worth the additional loss of code readability. ultimately, definitions shouldn't live in text files, but in a source code database, with proper search and projection tools in the editor (and the DVCS) that understand the graph nature of the source code. that would make this entire discussion moot, but we're not there yet. -- • attila lendvai • PGP: 963F 5D5F 45C7 DFCD 0A39 -- “The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.” — Carl Jung (1875–1961)
