2020-05-10 Thread Samuel Thibault
Hello, Did you have a look at Shengyu Zhang's work on xattr? That's about summer 2016. Also see glibc/sysdeps/mach/hurd/setxattr.c which translates gnu attributes into RPC calls, and then again in the translators's diskfs_set_translator. See for instance in hurd/ext2fs/inode.c's diskfs_set_transla

Hello, As part of the effort of creating vm-images for the Hurd using Guix, it would be nice to use extended file attributes to set passive translators. In particular, it would be helpful if we could use setfattr --name=gnu.translator --value=/hurd/pfinet 1 That would allow us to boot right

This back and forth is what I've been having going on in my head. We might be able to leverage repology.org for their work on mapping packages across distros. Yesterday, civodul entered a bug to remove the Etag and last-modified headers in the nginx config to fix a bug on our side so repology wil

Hello Guix! As of 2017, IANA (www.iana.org) has changed the standard template for font media types. SOURCE: https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml#font So, font/freetype and font/opentype has to be updated to font/ttf and font/otf, respectively. Almost all font packages

Hi, I'm not sure if that's something guix needs to be aware of. If the name differs very much and guix naming conventions differ plus it can not be found through any of the fields, it makes sense. But you probably don't want to track the different conventions used by various package managers as it
