Can you do it? Upload the binaries on GNU FTP server? Little endian
binaries will come along shortly as well. We decided (Chris and me)
that obsessing on this problem any longer is not going to help us
complete this port, the amount of struggle is getting very
demotivating. We got reasonable proof that this non-reproducibility GCC
problem exists and is non-trivial to solve, that's what I wanted with
the last attempts, I had hope it could still be trivial but turns out
not.

Hi.

This probably belongs to guix-help, but the format is

SUMMARY
[OPTIONAL DESCRIPTION]
CHANGELOG
[OPTIONAL SIGNED-OFF-BY]

each separated by two line feeds.  Very importantly, the summary should
contain the name of the package being changed (if one is changed at all
– there are also commits affecting build systems etc.), and so should
the changelog.  You can therefore pretty easily grep the logs for the
last commit, in which a variable was introduced, removed, changed,
moved, etc.
For instance, searching r-snpstats in the web interface quickly yields
the commit I've posted earlier as the one in which the bug was fixed.

Leo

Thank you!

Where can I find all commits list by date?
I see here something: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/log/

Can you please teach me how use list of commits convenient way?

[Leo Prikler]

Hello,

It would appear, that this specific issue was fixed by Mathieu in
commit 0c8bb20b7cbd39537999fce29979a6acaf64e601.
If such a slip-up happens again in future and you really need to update
a week-old generation, note that you can also specify slightly older
commits using "guix pull --commit=COMMIT-HASH".

Regards,
Leo

bug#45404: [PATCH] gnu: kiwix-desktop: Fix program start.

[Leo Prikler]

Pushed, thanks!

Small hint, if you want to use pure environments, don't forget
to expose environment variables such as DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY.

Leo

Is this still an issue on master?  It's been some time since your
original report, and IIUC many improvements were made to the GNOME
desktop.

It seems your message hadn't reached Debbugs.

No worries, I'm closing it now, by replying in Cc: to

Thanks for the report!

bug#44782: Python and Gajim-OMEMO

[Raghav Gururajan]

Hi Maxim!


Actually, I can't seem to reproduce, using:

guix environment --pure --ad-hoc gajim gajim-omemo -- gajim -l
gajim.p.omemo=DEBUG

Then I tried signing up with some random account, enabled the plugin and
I could see:

12/28/20 23:28:16 (I) gajim.p.omemo  ($some-server) Generating 
OMEMO keys
12/28/20 23:28:21 (I) gajim.p.omemo  ($some-server) Our device id: 
1816266738
12/28/20 23:28:21 (I) gajim.p.omemo  ($some-server) 100 PreKeys 
available

It seems like you may have 'pip3 install enum34' or have other things in
your environment that cause the issue?

If you can't reproduce in a clean environment, let's close it.


Oh, I sent an email to debbugs-control long ago to close this bug. It 
seems like the email didn't go through. I'll retry.


After discussing with cbaines in IRC, the issue was resolved. It was 
python2-enum in the environment that was messing with python-enum.

bug#41058: GNOME Maps fails to start in GNOME

[Leo Prikler]

Hello Guix,

I've just pushed a variant of the patch I proposed as
a2d5f9f60d0f440e5d5ce1a1cc81743b27d6cede.  I tested it yesterday in a
VM; it should work.

Regards,
Leo
