Hey y'all,
After a turbulent few months, I have an exciting announcement about the
Goblins Shepherd port -- the design document has reached (initial)
completion! [1]
The purpose of this document is to have a point of reference for
thinking about the port as well as explaining it at a high bu

Hey everyone,
As a relatively new user and contributor I thought I should share my
point of view.
When I started using Guix, the documentation was the greatest thing
ever, few projects have a manual like this that can help you in so many
situations. Of course the lack of wifi drivers was an issu

A few thoughts, as a humble but enthusiastic guix user. I'll try to be brief:
- Having a full-time job already, I don't mind making some free contributions
(patches, troubleshooting) for Guix, even if somebody else is getting paid to
do it.
- I like that idea of donation money being spent to con

Hey Ekaitz,
I'm chiming in because I've been working on FOSS full-time for the
past 2 years. Maybe it will be of some use.

Hi Guix,
As you've certainly noticed, I'm currently supplying some security
patches by checking every package that is linted on the cve checker.
I have a WIP patch series about adding lint-hidden-cve property to
packages where it is relevant. While doing it, I noticed that there are
quite some

Hi,
Should updates to TexLive or its prerequisites fall under the
core-updates policy (or whatever its successor is)?
My Guix is heavily modified and building TexLive takes an hour and a
half. Grafting it takes nearly as long. Thanks!
Kind regards
Felix

Hi Christopher,
Thanks adding your thoughts, we're all trying to be "humble and enthusiastic"
for Guix here!

Hi,
When updating, my equipment spends nearly as much time "updating
substitutes" as it does downloading substitutes.
The activity is probably exacerbated because I cross-publish substitutes
in my local network.
Would it be more efficient to check whether a particular substitute is

For reviews, for example, one could find an arbitrary set of metrics and

Okay, thanks for clearing that up. I was thinking they were all parts
Hi,
We mostly agree with everything so let me focus on the points I were I'd
like to add more.
Thanks for adding your thoughts, they are really valuable.
