Re: [GCD] Migrating repositories, issues, and patches to Codeberg

Hello guix-devel, I find the email-based workflow used by GNU projects intriguing. While it may not be as popular as modern web-based systems, it doesn't inherently constitute a barrier to entry. On the contrary, my experience attempting to commit to Guix exposed me to this 'exotic' workflow, a

Contributing to Guix without rDNS

Hi Guix Devel, I just found out that sending a patch to guix-patc...@gnu.org (all gnu.org emails) requires reverse DNS, which requires a static IP and consent from an ISP. I'm a digital nomad that self-hosts email on devices strewn accross the US, so obtaining a static IP is not feasable for me

Re: [GCD] Migrating repositories, issues, and patches to Codeberg

Hi Guix, I'm in support of having a forge, but not exactly thrilled to structure my workflow around it(s web interface). IMHO, Forgejo/Codeberg is a good choice however, so I won't debate that. Am Dienstag, dem 28.01.2025 um 15:33 +0100 schrieb Ludovic Courtès: > To keep track of bug reports and

Guix Days - Thursday Night Dinner

Tanguy and I have booked a restaurant for Thursday. Its a classic of Art Nouveau architecture, so it should be ambient and convivial. We can book more than the provisional 20 envisaged but out of respect for the venue the sooner we know the numbers the better! Menu and info here: https://pa

Re: [GCD] Migrating repositories, issues, and patches to Codeberg

Given the current work in progress status of tooling at Codeberg side, would it be feasible to consider a period of time during which the two strategies overlap ? Kind of a testing cohabitation period. For sure, this would imply manual intervention and some degree of overload to committers durin
