Coordinators for patch review session on Tuesday

Hi all, The next patch-review session is taking place on Tuesday 2nd of March [0] and I'd love to try pair-programming where groups can actively work on some patch reviews. Is anyone willing to 'co-ordinate' a pair programming session? Last time I set-up a cloud host and installed Upterm (http

Thanks for attending the first patch review session!

Hi everyone, Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came along to Guix London's first patch review session! Along with a special thanks to Andreas Enge for jumping in as our first committer showing how he reviews and answering a host of questions. Arun, Chris, Fabio and I were really exc

Re: GSoC 2024

Hi, I had a couple of ideas - but would need help from someone to mentor 1. Moldable development in Guix Exploratory REPL experience is one of the hall-marks of 'moldable' systems. This shortens the development cycle and improves the ability of users to explore Guix. The best REPL experience

Re: Proposal to turn off AOT in clojure-build-system

Hi, I don't think I'm making any progress convincing you, and I'm not enjoying the interaction so I'm going to take a few days off from this thread. I've tried to ask the Clojure community for a definitive expression of what they think Linux distributions should do with byte-compiled libraries.

Proposal to turn off AOT in clojure-build-system

Hi, Guix's clojure-build-system turns on AOT compilation by default. I would like to advocate that 'as a distributor' we should *not* ship Clojure code AOT'd, so we should change the default. This has been discussed previously. In #56604 r0man noted that AOT compilation should not be on by def
