Fixed in ee03b75dfb3399f41002c38ac512473ab94afa74 by simply making /tmp
a tmpfs.

Should this issue be closed?

 So, should I put ...

This issue should be completely fixed now (after commit 092dd65¹).
(Just to remind) the original issue is a request for auto-finding emacs
packages installed globally (in a system profile).

So, if you update your Emacs, it should automatically find emacs
packages (magit, etc.) installed both in user and system profiles.

To update Emacs, one need to:

1. If emacs is installed in a user profile:

  $ guix pull
  $ guix package --upgrade=emacs

2. If emacs is installed in a system profile:

  # guix pull
  # guix system reconfigure

bug#23103: A number of corrupt packages on Hydra?

[Pjotr Prins]

I am also seeing such corruption on my substitutes server. Is there a way
we can validate files in a running cache so they can be rebuild? Would
be useful for the mirror.guixsd.org too.

I am glad they get picked up (even so) and that we have the --fallback
option :)

bug#23106: rxvt-unicode is missing .desktop file(s)

[Nils Gillmann]

urxvt / rxvt-unicode has no .desktop files in Guix and therefore
does not show up in application menus like GNOME provides.


Whoever wants to fix it faster than I do (currently occupied with
psyced related packages), here is my work in progress part of the
rxvt-unicode package.

.desktop files can be found in the source dir of gentoo and
archlinux
(https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk?h=packages/rxvt-unicode)

Code below has not been tested, it may need some fixes, and we
need at least 3 like in archlinux.
