Hi Gio',

Somehow I missed this message.  Sorry about that.

Giovanni Biscuolo 写道：
looking at your recent addition (cool!) I found that your commit 
also

upgrades nix to 2.3.7, probably by mistake.


Yup.

I don't know if there is a policy in cases like this: should we 
revert

that commit and split in two commits?


Nope.  It shouldn't happen, of course, but IMO once it's done it's 
done (assuming it didn't break Nix, of course).


Thanks for paying attention!

[BLOG] Childhurds and GNU/Hurd substitutes

[Jan Nieuwenhuizen]

Hi!

We have just published a blog post on building your own Guix System with
GNU/Hurd and running it in a virtual machine; the road we traveled since
beginning of April and what is possible right now.  Read it here:

https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/childhurds-and-substitutes/

Enjoy!
Janneke, Ludovic & Mathieu

Thank you guys for all the time and energy you've put into the Hurd!
Can't wait to run my own childhurd!

Hi Lulu,

Welcome!

Have you already tried GNU Guix?  The package manager on foreign
distro?  The full Guix System?
If yes, are you comfortable with?  Feedback is very welcome. :-)
If not, you can give a look at the manual, especially the Binary
Installer on foreign distro section [1].

Do not hesitate to report here or help-g...@gnu.org or #guix if you
hit an issue.

Well, last but not least, what topic you may be interested in to work on?


All the best,
simon

Why unrelated package trigger rebuild?

[zimoun]

Dear,

>From the Data Service:



the commit 39222080911eaf3d7f74effe4467c1a04464aef3 which is about the
addition of the package ’dkgpg’ modifies the hash of the package
’ghc-haddock’ from:

  /gnu/store/s7s3ksfhkdbb6k6si8bjnxy8vvywv322-ghc-haddock-2.22.0

to:

  /gnu/store/j5llszq1cf12qn79bvhc042wc06ibfix-ghc-haddock-2.22.0

Well, I miss why the addition of one package changes the hash of another
unrelated one?  Is it expected?


All the best,
simon

I tried Guix on a foreign distro but ran into some problems with
SELinux and locales. Do you recommend using GuixSD on a virtual
machine, or do you think a foreign installation would be easier for
development? I reckon a setup for internal development wouldn't be
the same as a setup for the end-user. I think I might need to work
directly from the trunk, so maybe I need to get familiar with
`guix environment' for testing? I'd appreciate some tips on this.

> Well, last but not least, what topic you may be interested in to work on?

I decided on the task to add a `guix git log' subcommand, out of the
two tasks on the Outreachy page. :-) [1]

Aside from that, can you tell me more about how this mentorship
process works? Is there a regular schedule with meetings or progress
reports or such?

Hi Brett,

Thanks!

I'm learning the internals of Guix right now but I'm planning on
doing the task for adding a `guix git log' subcommand.
