You can probably use I could successfully build your branch. Unfortunately with geiser's recent upgrade from 0.23.2 to 0.26 emacs-geiser broke on my side. Geiser has since [1] removed all references to company. The end result is, that emacs-geiser will fail to load a REPL while it tries to initiate geiser-company. Here is my modification that fixes the REPL again: [2]. It'd be nice to see this pushed too and merge all the branches that now exist with emacs-guix.

I kept them as bookmarks to pull out in the future. The first seems to explain it well enough to disable it in Debian. I've never tested it myself though, but think it is the most promising approach to look into. I looked into the service definition of gdm, but gave up half way, and am on to other services now.

Re: WSDD Service Module
Hello, thanks for your reply. Ludovic Courtès writes: > My understanding is that you intend the ‘interface’ field to be either > #f or a string, is that right? I think it rather be a list of strings, since wsdd takes the list of interfaces to listen to.

So I changed it, that interface is usually an empty list now, and with for-each I'd like to have it expanded. Good thing is, I've gotten at least a step further, but only after hard coding the list as an argument in the for-each expression. So it should work? It still doesn't. And I still don't understand how it is somehow not passed as a list properly. One thing I noticed, after hard coding the argument, the procedure is not properly expanded in the constructor. How come? This is the output in the service file: --8<---cut here---start->8--- (make-forkexec-constructor (list "/gnu/store/6jpn21wnnyz59ii634hfbk34yy48nxrq-wsdd-0.6.4/bin/wsdd" "--hoplimit" "1" for-each (lambda (arg) (format #t "--interface ~s " (arg))) (interface) "--workgroup" "WORKGROUP") #:user "wsdd" #:group "wsdd" #:log-file "/var/log/wsdd.log") --8<---cut here---end--->8--- My for-each procedure and list works in my REPL, but it fails in Guix. It might have to do with me trying to get on with make-forkexec-constructor. So this constructor needs a list of strings? I put interfaces into a let*, and would call it in the constructor. Unfortunately this results into an invalid G-expression. Thanks for you help. It is taking its time to get comfortable with Guile. I've attached the current state of the service too. wsdd.scm Description: Binary data Kind regards Simon

I got too focused on trying to use for-each. Time to complete this service. Thanks a lot! Simon
WSDD Service Module
Hello! I've been preparing WSDD [1] for Guix. This is a Web Service Discovery Daemon that replaces host discovery through SMBv1. SMBv1 has been disabled in Samba and Windows for some time now for security reasons. Hence WSDD is a drop in replacement for host discovery. I've packaged wsdd already, and while preparing this post I noticed that the version is already outdated too. That's next on the list now. Unfortunately while preparing its service, there is this one part that I'm having trouble trying to get working: --8<---cut here---start->8--- #$(if interface #~(for-each (lambda (arg) (display (string-append "--interface" arg)) ;; (format #t "--interface ~a " (list->string arg)) ) #$(interface)) '()) --8<---cut here---end--->8--- Which is the main intention for this post: I'd really appreciate a little hint on how to solve this small problem. Everything else looks okay. The documentation for this service module has not been completed yet. I'm still working on it. Once it is done I'll submit a patch. This is part of my ongoing work on working with samba. The service declaration can be found at [2] and [3] is the package itself. Thanks in advance!

Announcing Samba Service for Guix
Hello! I am happy to announce the development of a Samba service for Guix. Currently I am attending a technical college for informatics where I am working on my final thesis that is due to be completed by February next year. Hence I have already proposed to develop and document the process extending Guix. So far I have managed to write a service that can control nmbd, smbd and winbindd with default configuration options provided by [1]. I have attached said service. It is not intended for production use yet, and needs to be extended to make more use of Samba's capabilities. The daemon samba itself has not been touched yet since it expects to be a DC. It would need extra services too, especially kerberos, and extensive scripting to run. Printing has not been looked at either. Documentation for info is missing. I am not sure if the configuration system I butchered from other service definitions is worthwhile or could be done in an entirely different way. Samba's configuration system is extensive and flexible. There are some extra package definitions I want to write too. I have not decided yet how far to go or how much of Samba should be implemented as a service. To implement the complete Samba suite would exceed the scope of my assignment and will need proper testing until it can be provided in Guix. Hence I would like to implement sections of it in such a way that can easily be extended at a later point, should there be a need for it. It is a little over a year already since I have installed my first Guix system. So far I have only been randomly handing in patches every now and then with various success for new package definitions while trying to learn more Scheme. Preparing this service has been a lot more educational than writing packages so far.
