Re: Upstream Release Monitoring

Another way might be to create a program that checks all the source repos of all the packages. When a new package source file with a higher version number gets uploaded, guix automatically builds the package and uploads it. On Sep 11, 2014 8:31 PM, "Jason Self" wrote: > With the number of package

Upstream Release Monitoring

With the number of packages available using Guix (and it seems to keep increasing) keeping up on the latest upstream versions manually is gonna be a pain. :) Shouldn't the checking be automated in some way? One idea might be to create a bug in the GNU Bug Tracker when a new upstream release is dete

Re: On-line hackathon on Sep. 27-28?

I kinda "know" C. But I don't know how to make applications. Just really basic things. I'm not a good artist. I don't have hardware that could run guix at the moment. And I don't know if I could learn enough C or guile by the September hackathon. On Sep 11, 2014 2:17 PM, "Nikita Karetnikov" wrote:

Glibc/hurd will be usable, first, for packaging and building the rest of the components needed for a Hurd system and second for actually start using it on such a system. So unless it introduces any problems that break guix, I don't see a reason not having it on stable. Manolis
