missing input and more

Hi Guix, during my packaging attempts of connman (which looks good so far) I found that gnutls is missing "install-time" dependency - zlib. 1] ldd shows run-time dependency: $ ldd /gnu/store/0mfgwxgqyhlvi5xyi1j2lbr3ygczsdyp-gnutls-3.2.21/lib/libgnutls.so | grep libz libz.so.1 => /gnu/s

Helping programs find their icons

Hello Guix, I've investigated why wicd-gtk is unable to find its icons and fixed it. Looking at the output of strace, I found that when wicd-gtk looks for icons, it searches for 'index.theme' files in many different directories of the form: /gnu/store/.../share/icons/hicolor/ The icons it want

Name service switch configuration

Hello Guix! Commit 996ed73 adds support to configure libc’s name service switch (NSS). To enable something like nss-mdns (for the resolution of ‘.local’ names), one needs two things: 1. Add this snippet to the ‘operating-system’ declaration: (name-service-switch (name-service-switch

[PATCH] utils: Strip duplicates from search path.

Hello Guix, The attached patch (for core-updates) removes duplicate entries from search paths. I believe this is safe. I was encountering "command line too long" errors while trying to build several higher-level perl modules, and noticed that the values being set for PERL5LIB, PATH, and oth

[PATCHES] Add wicd and wicd-service

Hello Guix, This preliminary patch set adds wicd and wicd-service. The first patch adds dbus support to wpa-supplicant, while preserving the lightweight wpa-supplicant without dbus under a different name: wpa-supplicant-light. The second patch adds the wicd package, although there are still some
