Hi Andy,
There are some guidelines for naming packages, as discussed in the
manual:
https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/html_node/Package-Naming.html.
Ultimately, of course, the final say rests with the commiters who do or
do not accept a given patch in a given state. As for namespaces, G
Hello everyone,
Coming off the wonderful experience of meeting up with a bunch of
fellow Guixers (Guixs? Guix? what is our demonym?) in person for the
first time at Guix Days, I would very much like to have similar
experiences more often. I know there are Paris and London meetups;
would there
Hi Simon,
I would absolutely be interested in actually writing documentation. I
appear to be rapidly specializing as a technical writer and have long
wanted to help write better documentation for Guix (and Guile, for that
matter...). Reimbursement would allow me to set aside the time
necessar
Thanks so much for heading this up; it was great to see so many folks
show up!
I've started using reviewed-looks-good to mark patches so committers
can check
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=reviewed-looks-good;users=guix
for stuff that should need minimal review before mergi
Dear comrades,
As some of you already know, in December I submitted an application for
an NLNet grant to fund porting our beloved Shepherd to Spritely Goblins
[1]. This work would represent a radical evolution in the capabilities
of not just Guix's system layer, but of GNU/Linux system layers
Hi Sergio,
Continuing on from our out-of-band conversation about this topic, the
most likely cause of your RAM issue is that you use recursion
extensively, but not in tail position. This means that Guile cannot
optimize this recursion to re-use stack frames and thus your memory
usage is unbou
Hi Felix,
You ask a really interesting question. I think run0 is a great step in
the right direction, and I would welcome the Shepherd gaining similar
abilities. I also think run0 is a stopgap and we can do much better.
Let me try to explain.
As I've announced previously, I'm working on port
Hi Felix,
... we must hardcode some paths to /run/setuid-program/... as
in this yet-to-be-accepted patch for OpenSMTPd. [1]

Oh, this is quite a tricky issue... I'm opposed to packaging software
in Guix in such a way as to rely on the conventions of
Hi Felix,
Firstly, I feel this person could and should have expressed their
frustration in a more polite way. I'm sorry someone has taken to using
such fierce and critical language for something you've worked on. I
hope that you're not too hurt by their rudeness.
Secondly, I quite like peanu
Hey y'all,
I've avoided weighing in on this topic because I'm of two minds about
it. Still, when members of the community raise concerns, it's important
to take those concerns seriously. We must be careful how we address
them because the opinions and concerns of any community member are as

Greetings comrades,
As many of you are likely already aware, the European Union has
recently made plans to cut funding to its Next Generation Internet
(NGI) initiative which funds hundreds of FOSS projects, including many
related to Guix itself. The current plan is to shift these funds into
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 folks,
I tried to update magic-wormhole today and things went super smoothly.
All I had to do was change the version number.
I didn't even have to change the source hash.
If that strikes you as odd, good! It should!
To cover all my bases, I pk'd the hash produced by `pypi-uri` and used
Hey y'all,
I've noticed over the last couple years that the documentation for Guix
just keeps getting better and better. Thank you to everyone who has
contributed and is contributing to this effort!

Hey y'all,
Ekaitz, thank you for opening this thread. RIP your inbox.
I think this thread demonstrates in itself one of our biggest issues. A
few folks have mentioned it indirectly. I'll be direct. We can't stay
on topic.
So once again, Ekaitz, thank you for clarifying what this discussion i
Hello,
For those not at Guix Days:
We have split into groups discussing various topics. Each group is
collecting notes on its discussion. I am starting this thread as a
place for these notes, to be distributed as necessary.
To kick things off, I've attached my notes on the discussion of
