[PATCH] Fix tcpdump.

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi Guix,

libpcap comes with a couple of backends that are disabled by default.
Among those available backends is “pcap-linux”.  By default the only
backends are

pcap-null
pcap-usb-linux
pcap-can-linux
pcap-netfilter-linux
pcap-common

‘netfilter-linux’ doesn’t work out of the box and I think it requires
loading iptables/netfilter kernel modules (I have not yet found the
correct modules to load, so I can only guess).  When “--with-pcap=linux”
is passed “pcap-linux.c” is compiled as well, which makes tcpdump work
out of the box without the need to load any further modules.

Thanks to Ludovic for providing a crucial bit of information!

~~ Ricardo

We could use a more advanced format.  In that case I would prefer sexps
(but they would not play well with i18n), or, if we use a text DSL,
Org-mode (which is potentially less expressive than arbitrary sexps.)

It’s not a choice that can be made lightly because it will impact
translators and we must make sure we can provide UIs that honor markup
appropriately.

I’m not completely sure it’s necessary though.  Thoughts?

That sounds like the right thing (it’s also what is used in
gnu/system/install.scm for the binary tarball.)

Thanks for noticing and fixing it!

In my opinion it's not necessary.  Descriptions are not so big all in
all.  I just wanted to standardize how lists, used in some descriptions,
look like.  I also prefer "  •" to denote a list item.

NIX_STATE_DIR is used to override localstate at runtime.  If you are
happy with the localstatedir (defined at configure time) you do not need
NIX_STATE_DIR.  After my vacation I’ll take some time to think about how
to allow users to run “guix” on cluster nodes to manipulate their
profiles — and how to reliably set this all up.  I’m planning on
documenting this, both in a specialised form for my blog and in a more
generic fashion for the Guix manual.

I don’t remember writing this or the context in which I wrote this
(could it be that Ludovic wrote this?) — looking at the code for
guix/scripts/package.scm it seems that the client performs some of the
symlink switching when switching generations (e.g. after installing a
new package).  For that to work it would need write permission to the
user’s profile directory.

(I could be completely wrong here.  That’s not how it’s set up here and
I haven’t yet tested a configuration like this.)

If we had used the git checkout, the file-name should end with
"-checkout", but we should use the release tarball instead.

Autogen/autoreconf/bootstrap phases should always go after 'unpack' (or
in this case, after 'fix-autogen'), *not* before 'configure'.  The
reason is that there are some other phases (patch-usr-bin-file and
patch-source-shebangs) which should have access to the generated files.
For example, letting 'patch-usr-bin-file' patch the generated
'configure' is important on some platforms.

However, this is moot because you should use the release tarball.

Can you send updated patches?

 Thanks,

fixed!

One last question: I've used "LXDE" and "LXAppearance" because it's the
most common way to write them and LXDE is a acronym for "Lightweight X11
Desktop Environment".  But Since we use the name "Gnome" (which is a
acronym), I wonder if we shouldn't use "Lxde" and "Lxappearance"
likewise.

Great - thanks for clarifying - I am looking forward to reading about this 
further in both places.  

I will eventually care about the cluster use case, but for now my first aim is 
to ensure that users at my institute can expect an identical experience in 
using guix regardless of which of our multiple shared-used computational 
servers they are logged into.

It’s a mistake: the real name is “GNOME”.  In general I think we should
use the spelling and case that upstream uses, so “LXDE” in that case.

OK with changes along these lines!

Re: [PATCH 3/5] build: Add 'emacs-build-system'

Agreed; what about putting READMEs etc. elsewhere, like under
‘share/doc/PACKAGE’ if we want to preserve them?

I agree that these two points make MELPA (at least the MELPA server)
unsuitable for our purposes.

Of course it’s still useful to import recipes from there and use them as
a starting point for packages.

Agreed.

New build machine

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello,

Simon Josefsson (of GnuTLS, GNU SASL, GNU LibIDN, and many other GNU and
non-GNU projects) kindly offered us an 8-core x86_64 build machine.

It’s already busy building stuff and will certainly make the upcoming
‘core-updates’ rebuild faster.

Thank you, Simon!

Re: Using a shared Guix store (was RE: [Bio-packaging] testing out guix)

[Pjotr Prins]

Great Malcolm,

One thing I was advocating today (compared to, for example, easybuild,
modules or homebrew) is that once you create a GNU Guix package it
will live on *all* future Linux systems (and perhaps beyond). It being
a GNU project I can only imagine it becoming ubiquous.

Pj.

[matias_jose_seco]

Humanists and Magicians,
i'm very glad to began this journey around BuildYourWorld dimension!
In particular i've successfully generated the GuixSD station at 
Libreboot X60,

and it runs like a free deer over the woods!

I apologize if i'm eventually writing to the wrong specific-ml,
but i was unable to find any guix-user address to propose this
phenomenons.

In this chapter, i was trying to complete system declaration
following two quests:
1 - add "processor.max_cstate=2" to GRUB's kernel parameters
2 - Set an Italian Locale with an UK Keyboard Layout
The first goal is to turn the laptop from a whistling kettle to a calm 
breeze [1].
The latter gives me the chance to test Italian locale while using x60's 
GB layout.


Unfortunately, tought several attempts, i was unable to correct/find 
scheme syntax/errors so far.

Here you can find my current system declaration: [2]
Very, very, glad for your lecture and vitality.
