Hi Amirouche! :)

What is the status of this?

I found someone for the task. Thanks for showing up nonetheless.

- Was there any previous attempt?

Yes but I deleted the files.

   - What are the findings so far?
- Does it need a system service to be running?


No! It's a library, it works like sqlite except it's multithread.



- Since your last message, is there someone working on this now?



Yes.

Have a good day!

Re: Kernel panic - not syncing: attempting to kill init! when booting GuixSD

[Quiliro]

I have had this same problem when garbage collecting on the root user. It 
happened to me twice. It was strange for me since I understood that Guix would 
NEVER remove any package that still had links to it.

What I did was try to boot with all entries presented on boot by GrUB. I 
usually found one that booted.

I am sorry I cannot reproduce this error since the 32 bit machine that I tryed 
garbage collecting previous generations on has died. I will test it on my other 
machines when I can manage to have a local substitute server to install offline 
from.

.go files are architecture-dependent and thus they should go to $libdir
(info "(standards) Directory Variables"), specifically
lib/guile/2.x/site-ccache.

(In the past I made the mistake in several projects to install
everything in share/guile/site/2.0…)

Oh, I see.

Thanks for the information, I first thought this was overlooked. :)

I have a question about how the built packages should be laid out on disk.

Looking at existing Guile packages, I saw that some of them put everything under
'share/guile/site/2.{0,2}'. Others put the source files in that directory, while
putting the compiled .go objects in 'lib/guile/2.{0,2}/site-ccache.

Do you have a preference? It's not clear to me what the difference is in
practice.

Yes, I am. Or rather, I am waiting for the weekend when Amirouche
is about to look into the trade I offered.

Cabal ad GHC_PACKAGE_PATH

[david larsson]

Im having trouble using Cabal to install a Haskell package.

cabal install xmobar
cabal: Use of GHC's environment variable GHC_PACKAGE_PATH is 
incompatible with
Cabal. Use the flag --package-db to specify a package database (it can 
be used

multiple times).

The archived answers in help-guix didn't work for me, such as "unset 
GHC_PACKAGE_PATH" and then installing which only led to failed builds, 
e.g.:


text-1.2.2.2 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
user error ('/run/current-system/profile/bin/ghc' exited with an error:
/run/current-system/profile/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or
directory
/run/current-system/profile/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or
directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
)

I also tried to specify the package-db as suggested with a path from the 
GHC_PACKAGE_PATH but this had the same output as if running without that 
flag.


Any suggestions?
