Re: Goals for 0.4

I just realized that we can do even better: have --list-generations output recutils-formatted data (using ‘object->fields’). Then, if we do it right, the output can just be piped to ‘recsel’ to select entries of a certain age, to display specific fields, etc. Like: gen

Re: Online hackathon ?

There will also be a hackathon going on at the GNU Project's 30th anniversary [0] in Boston if anyone's interested in meeting in person there. It could probably be coordinated with an online hackathon too. Based on Libby's message [1] it might be possible to coordinate something for Guix too. Just

Python 3 native-search-paths

I just noticed that there is a variable native-search-paths in python-2, which looks like it should be updated for python 3. However, when I modify the package accordingly, it is not recompiled. How come? Is this variable really needed? Andreas

Python 3 binaries

Hello, python 3 does not ship a python binary any more, just a binary called python3. That could be useful, since it would allow to install python 2 and 3 side by side. However, all packages relying on a shebang substitution with a python binary now fail. I see two general possibilities to solve
