bug#39983: Acknowledgement (help)

2020-03-08 Thread Adam Porter
Okay, here's what happened: 1. I found a bug in Guix that I wanted to report. 2. I checked the manual, which directed me to https://issues.guix.gnu.org/. 3. That page directed me to "submit your patches or email bug-guix@gnu.org to open a new issue." There were no further instructions, so I gu

2020-03-08 Thread Adam Porter
I installed Guix into my system, and I've been enjoying using it. However, I found that, after installing it, when I logged out and back in, and then started Emacs, Emacs could no longer see my system's info pages (including Emacs's own info pages). I found that the Emacs variable Info-directory-l

ated Guix users, it seems to have regressed for those of us who are less "pure" Guix users, who need more flexibility, and who have enjoyed such in the past. Thanks, Adam Porter

bug#71729: Emacs 29.4 emergency bugfix release

2024-06-22 Thread Adam Porter
Hello, Today an emergency bugfix release was made of Emacs v29.4. It fixes an important security vulnerability. FWIW, I had hoped that I could install it by running: guix install --with-version=emacs=29.4 emacs But that fails the validate-comp-integrity phase, showing that all of its tes

bug#71730: Manual section 2.6.5 on Emacs Packages needs updating regarding native-compilation

2024-06-22 Thread Adam Porter
Hello, I just noticed that the Guix manual at , in section 2.6.5, says: Note: Emacs can now compile packages natively. Under the default configuration, this means that Emacs packages will now be just-in-time (JIT) compiled as you use them, and the resul

2023-08-04 Thread Adam Porter
FYI, I hacked together a new package definition, updating the emacs-next one to build 29.1 from the release tarball, and after installing it, everything seems to work, including native compilation. I don't know enough about Guix to understand why using "guix install" with the package transform

Hi, Since Emacs 29.1 was just released, I tried to install it with: guix install emacs-next --with-commit=emacs-next=emacs-29.1 This builds and installs without error, and it runs, but when Emacs tries to native-compile Elisp libraries at startup, I get these errors in the "*Warnings*" buff

bug#70153: Command "guix show PACKAGE" should also show installed version

2024-04-02 Thread Adam Porter
Hi, It would be very helpful if the command "guix show PACKAGE" (aka "guix package --show=PACKAGE") showed the version of the package that is currently installed, if any. For example, the version of "emacs" in Guix is currently 29.3, and the version I have installed is 29.1. When I run "gui
