Issues while updating fossil to 2.1

Hi, my editor wraps at 80 lines but I hope the errors are obvious for someone who did fix fossil before (Efraim?). Could it be that not all tests have been updated for the new format? There's no test log. The output below can be reproduced with the the attached patch. phase `build' succeeded aft

libxml2: Wrong separator in XML_CATALOG_FILES?

2017-04-11 Thread Hartmut Goebel
Hi, I just discovered that libxml2 sets the search-path-specification for variable "XML_CATALOG_FILES" using space as separator, which is very uncommon. The documentation for libxml2 does not state which separator to use, while the docbook-tutorial [1] has an example using colons. So I'm curious

2017-04-11 Thread Pjotr Prins
Can we get rid of the alpha status? It suggests packages are in alpha, which they are not. I have already had two different administrators in two environments claiming that Guix packages can not be deployed on HPC systems because it is alpha. The excuse is too easy ;) I think GuixSD should be
