wip-http-pipelining needs testing!

Last month Mark installed Nginx on Hydra, with proper caching of narinfos. After some debugging, wip-http-pipelining is now in a good shape: it has performance comparable to what we currently have, *and* it’s single-threaded and shows a progress report while downloading substitute info (aka. narin

core-updates, wip-armhf, and 0.8.1

I’d like to merge core-updates to master Real Soon Now. The last missing bit for me is the Libtool upgrade, which shouldn’t be too hard (surprisingly, Libtool has a number of test failures on MIPS: ; I’m tempted to disable tests on MIPS altogether.)

Re: New year, new name!

I agree with what you write, that is, we don’t want to do too much branding around that name, and instead emphasize GNU. In my view, this is indeed some sort of a code name for use in technical docs and such. And then we also need to work to get a clearer “special status” in GNU. Ludo’.

[PATCH]: Add CUPS.

Hi Guix, attached is a patch that adds a package recipe for CUPS. There are a couple of problems with this package, one of which is that the test suite is failing for some reason. I have not been able to figure out why the "cupsFileFind" test fails, so I disabled the tests. I'm also not sure if

Re: New year, new name!

I can't see that "Guixotic" is ever going to be a "catchy" name. It is too diffucult to pronounce. How about something like "Gnuix" ? This would keep the GNU and th Guix connection, is shorter and much easier to say. Just my EUR 0,02 J' On Sun, Jan 04, 2015 at 04:12:15PM +0100, Ludovic Cou
