Interest in Participating for GSoC '23

Hi everyone, Hello! I'm interested in contributing to the GNU Guix project through the Google Summer of Code program. My programming expertise mainly lies with Scheme, Common Lisp, Clojure and C/C++, but I can also write code in other languages when needed. Additionally, I have some experience as

Implementing Nix's command-not-found in Guix

Hello Guix! I'd like to implement something similar to NixOS's command-not-found in Guix. As you can see in the repository below, it contains a nix file which is essentially a shell script which runs the second file, a perl script, if the user enters a command which is not found on this system. Th

Re: more package transformations: overrides

Hello! Thanks for the CC, Josselin! I like Maxim's idea of providing all kinds of arguments through a separate file or stdin. Here's a tiny proof-of-concept script implementing that: -guix-shell-with-args.sh #!/usr/bin/env bash argstr="" while read line do argstr="$argstr $line" done < "$

[Review Request] GSoC Project Proposal Draft

Hi Guix, Attached is the draft of my GSoC project proposal on Parameterized Packages. I would really appreciate any comments or suggestions for the same. Happy Hacking! Sarthak (cel7t) parameterized-packages.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document

Re: GSoC news

Hello Guix, Thanks for having me onboard! I hope that my project will prove useful to Guix. My project is about implementing Parameterized Packages, which will add optional Gentoo USE flag-like functionality to Guix packages. This will not only help reduce package size but also provide users with

Discussion on Parameterized Packages

Hello Guix! I'll be working on bringing Parameterized Packages to Guix for GSoC 2023 under the guidance of Gábor and Pjotr. I've been a Guix user for a few years now as it works great for Common Lisp and Scheme projects, and I've always wanted to contribute to it as it has one of the best codebases

Re: Welcome to Simon as a new committer

Congratulations Simon, keep up the good work! You've done an amazing job so far, and I remember receiving help for you with my very first commit to the project. It's great to see you get this position! Sincerely, Sarthak.

Update on Parameterized Packages

Hello guix-devel! I got a bunch of really helpful suggestions from the last thread about my Google Summer of Code project on bringing Package Parameterization to Guix

A Forum for Guix Users

Hey Guix, I think we should seriously consider having a user forum similar to Debian's User Forum or Nixos' Discourse. As of now, it's a bit difficult for beginners to find answers to their problems in the mailing list or in IRC logs as they aren't very easy to navigate compared to forum threads.

Re: A Forum for Guix Users

Hey Andy, That's definitely not the case. I've used that method of search with other GNU/Linux distribution forums, and it has always worked. Have you had that issue before? The reason why I'm suggesting a move away from mailing lists is that it is a lot easier to follow threads on forums. You hav

Re: Opportunity For Guix: RFI Areas of long-term focus and Prioritization

I second this, this could be something very good for Guix. We have a number of favorable features that could be desirable in a high-trust environment such as stability, seamless rollbacks, the ability to bootstrap completely from source etc. Regards, Sarthak. On Tue, Aug 29, 2023 at 8:15 AM jgart

Re: How can we decrease the cognitive overhead for contributors?

I think that quite a few Guix users end up not committing to Guix because of how daunting and strange the process seems. In particular, having an alternate, easy-to-use interface for updating package definitions specifically could be very useful. The greatest strength of Guix is that it can be ver

Re: Global modification of #:make-flags

fresh Guix repositories, you need to have built Guix once from a repository before applying the patch. I'll try and fix both of these problems as soon as I get the time to, but once you've taken care of this it should work smoothly. Regards, Sarthak. On Wed, Aug 21, 2024, 12:40 Marek Paśnikowsk

Re: Global modification of #:make-flags

m and any other user defined condition matches before applying parameterization. Otherwise, you'll have to add this transform to the packages you need -Os with, which is not very difficult, just a bit cumbersome... Regards, Sarthak. On Wed, Aug 21, 2024, 13:05 Marek Paśnikowski wrote
