Hi,
I've been trying to reconfigure my system on my x200 laptop. It's been
a day or two, and I've found that my computer has spent the last 25
hours running fftwf tests. I know my laptop is rather weak (2 cores, 8
GB of memory, an SSD) compared to most desktops today, but still, 25

Hi,
isn't that what basically every Developer does? If I write a program and
it's elisp there is only as far as I know one interpreter and all libs I
use are also not replacable without rewriting code.

But that is achieved with forks of systemd tools and messing with the source
code.
How does that make GNOME independent from Systemd?

Systemd is Free Software no doubt but, it is vendor lockin. GNOME too.
They are because:
1) systemd has absorbed many things like udev which are important for all
distros into their own project. Thus you have to "extract" it.
2) I would argue that you can't replace systemd on the fly. On gentoo

Hi guix!
I have a more conceptual question than technical. I am really curious about
unikernels and I know there is work to support the Hurd. So my thinking is:
would it be possible to make a build and deployment system for unikernels?

Excuse me, Ricardo, but if this project is political (as you have
stated), then there are political issues that are relevant to its
development. Otherwise, what does it mean for a project to be
political? And since the "joint statement" is published on the Guix

Hi František,
it surprises me that I have to repeat this, but discussions that not
relate to the development of Guix are off topic on this list.
Please respect the many subscribers to this list by keeping your posts
