Mesa out of date (and move to libglvnd?)

2021-07-07 Thread John Kehayias
Hi everyone, Mesa has fallen quite of date (latest upstream is 21.1.4, guix core-updates up to 20.2.6, or else 20.2.4 for everyone else). There is patch available here: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/49339 however it currently includes enabling libglvnd. I don't think that is necessary from my tes

Hi amar, this is unrelated to GNU or Guix, but if you want to avoid C/C++ it may be worth taking a look at https://www.redox-os.org, which is written in Rust — of course there's also the GNU Hurd (and I'm sure many other projects), but this is the only one I'm aware of that has "avoid using C

Hey Guix, I’m very happy to see some movement on haskell support. We try to track the stack package set for a given ghc version. Updating to ghc 8.10.4, then, means updating to stackage lts 18.1. One other issue that should be addressed is that cabal-install will need to be updated to 3.x. I h

Hello all, Is there any research into new Operating Systems and kernel development? I'd like to announce 'heh' that I'm starting on just such a project :) I have a few ideas about what i want to build but that's getting far ahead of myself, I think I should build it to run on Qemu or Xe

Hi! I hope I'm not too late! I've given the patch a try and have a couple of questions: - Since not all the inputs *have* to be converted to the new format: is this more some kind of syntactic sugar and less of a "we really want this to be the new standard" kind of improvement? Or is t
