Re: How to install prerelease package versions (particularly Emacs)

e it: I think you have to use the ‘local-file’ procedure in place of ‘origin’ in the ‘source’ field. Unless I am not up-to-date with current Guix practices, it is still not convenient since you still need to manually filter git related files and build results with the ‘#:select’ keyword argument of

Re: exploring the code

e---end--->8--- 'M-.' when the point is on 'where-is-foo' procedure call won't find the procedure definition even after 'C-c C-k'. It only works in the context of a module. My point is that Geiser should not be expected to be 100% reliable. 'M-x rgrep' is sometimes a helpful complement. ;) Thanks, -- Mathieu Lirzin

Re: string-append plus package

which I can assign to some variable (NGINX as shown in the example) and > then be used for other string operations (like when defining TEST in the > example). The trick is that "…" in the above string depends on the actual hash of nginx which will change every time nginx (or its dependencies) is updated. So you need to "ask" the Guix API what is the string, like this: (use-modules (guix) (gnu packages web)) (define conn (open-connection)) (package-output conn nginx) ;returns the actual string However I guess this would not be that useful in the context of writing a service. -- Mathieu Lirzin GPG: F2A3 8D7E EB2B 6640 5761 070D 0ADE E100 9460 4D37

Samba user mounts

“/etc/fstab” file: //nas/home /mnt/mthl/nas-home cifs credentials=/home/mthl/.smbfile,rw,noauto,user 0 0 which allowed me to execute the following command as a regular user: $ mount /mnt/mthl/nas-home Does anybody know how to achieve similar thing on GuixSD? Thanks. -- Mathieu

Re: Samba user mounts

8--- What happens I think is that ‘mount’ calls the ‘mount.cifs’ from the store and not to the one in the “/run/current-system/setuid-programs” directory. I don't know how this could be fixed. Thank you very much for this very helpful snippet. -- Mathieu Lirzin GPG: F2A3 8D7E EB2B 6640 5761 070D 0ADE E100 9460 4D37
