Frequently-rebased channels

Dear guix, I have a couple of channels that get rebased constantly. Is there a way to tell guix that a channel allows downgrades, in a way that can also be used by the unattended upgrade service? Also, if a package has a git-fetch origin, the daemon will check that future versions are direct desce

Where to find dmesg and /etc contents of specific system generation?

Hi guix. Is it possible and where could I find contents of /etc for a specific system generation. Ditto dmesg of the last boot of specific generation? Not necessarily current generation though. In a nutshell: I have a generation that boots and works fine, but sadly I also have a generation that f

Re: How to debug failed boot after successful reconfigure?

Hm, bit puzzled. Noone ever encountered boot failures with Guix? Should I've sent it to guix-devel? I'm going to try my luck in a separate thread with a much narrower question. FWIW for the issue at hand I ended up leveraging the fact that I'm running on a server with out-of-band ethernet and IPM

Updating the rav1e package to 0.4.0

Our rav1e package ((gnu packages video) rav1e) is at version 0.3.5. I noticed that FFmpeg 4.4 requires rav1e 0.4.0, at minimum, so I tried updating it. Luckily, there is a similar / duplicate package ((gnu packages crates-graphics) rust-rav1e-0.4.0), so the required versions of Rust dependencies

Re: How to debug failed boot after successful reconfigure?

Hi, help-guix is the right mailing, but we're not always very responsive, plus there is a delay for your first mail to pass spam filter. In /var/guix/profiles/system--link (where n corresponds to the generation you wart to inspect), you will hind an etc directory. dmesg accumulates in /var/log/
