bug#23979: [ER] guix gc should tell how much space it recovered

2016-07-16 Thread Vincent Legoll
Here is an attempt:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-07/msg00574.html

I tried to use call-with-values, but couldn't make it to work so
reverted back to let-values...

To test, I added (guix-gc "-C") at the end of the script and ran "guix
pull && guile gc.scm", looked OK...

What makes you think so?

The problem we had in the past is that nscd would cache lookup failures
that happened when the Internet connection was missing, which made
subsequent lookups fail even though networking was back up:

  http://bugs.gnu.org/22209

I believe this was fixed by commit
c96ba2cf5efc0ee5c10f0a49aeaa9a45a84de7ed.

It would be great if you could check whether the problem is
reproducible, even with a stable connection.

If it is indeed reproducible, then you could try running the
installation after turning nscd off with:

  herd stop nscd

Thanks,
Ludo’.

bug#24008: [doc] write an official statement on bundling

2016-07-16 Thread ng0
It would be an good idea to have an official statement on why we
do unbundle dependencies and bundling should be avoided,
similar to the one Gentoo has:

Indeed, "guix-package->pypi-name" is broken. If my understanding is
correct, not all of our Python packages use the "new" URL scheme, right?
