Help needed adapting IceCat patches to 102

Hello everyone, I don't know what I'm doing wrong with adding configure options, but icecat-102.6.0-guix0-preview1/moz.configure still doesn't recognise --with-system-ogg after applying the attached patches. I think the problem is that it's not registering properly in toolkit/moz.configure or

Shepherd news + planned feature removal

Hello Guix! I recently pushed an updated and rebased variant of ‘wip-service-monitor’ in the Shepherd, previously discussed here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2022-06/msg00350.html I’m going to merge it real soon if there are no objections, with the goal of using it as the ba

Re: The 🐑 Shepherd gets a service collection

I imagine we could develop more convenient services like this, such as basic command scheduler similar to the ‘at’ command, and a syslogd implementation. The latter could be nice for a couple of reasons: logging would happen from the start and till the end (an improvement over the external syslo

Re: package transformation and “guix graph”?

Hello, Hi, Investigating « bug#62645: Failing `guix install gnash` » [1], I am a bit surprised: The package rust-hmac needs to be rebuilt but it does not appear connected via “guix graph”. Note that rust-hmac has no direct dependency and only the ones from the Rust build system. Similarly,

(computed-origin-method) and (origin)'s file-name field

Hello everyone, I'm wondering about the solution to the computed-origin-method workaround... Must the 'computed-origin-method' workaround be solved by adding the renaming capability to snippets? Why couldn't the file-name field of the source origin be used to rename it? If it's because the upst

Re: Shepherd timers

Hi Ludovic, I want to give my suggestion for the timer support in the Shepherd: Could the Shepherd depend on mcron for the timer functionality? Since mcron already handles scheduling commands to run at a certain time, there would be no need to reimplement it again. Mcron would just need to sup
