Thanks for taking a look at the patch series!
However, I won't be hacking on Guix for a while,
so I won't be posting a revised patch series.

Greetings,

bug#50677: [PATCH] Minetest basic_materials really depends on moreores

IIRC, I tested the patch, it worked, and it looked good to me. 
However, I'm not a committer.

Anyway, I won't be working on Guix for a while (and I've unsubscribed
from the mailing lists) (though I intend to continue eventually), so I
won't be available for (minetest-related) reviews.

Greetings,
Maxime

Turning such feature on in my version of icecat didn't seem to break
something (or improve much) until I restarted it, at which point the
output was totally garbled.  That's using it with an nvidia 8800 GTS
card and the nouveau driver.

So, unless the upstream Firefox ESR GNU Icecat is based on has this bit
turned on, I'd vote to close this issue.

What do you think?

Thank you,

bug#30619: Cuirass requires TLS certificates

 the cuirass service requires TLS certificates to do continuous integration

 Should the service depend on the nss-certs package? Or maybe take as an

The Cuirass Shepherd service still does:

  #:environment-variables
  (list "GIT_SSL_CAINFO=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt" …)

which means that users still need to install certificates globally.

Now, whether it’s an issue, I don’t know.

Maybe we can close?

Thanks,

bug#51224: Cannot login (login screen loop) after some packages are installed

[Nikos Parafestas]

I have succesfully installed guix in trisquel 9 (mate). 

I have installed some packages and everything is working as expected.

$ guix package --list-installed
dino0.2.1   out /gnu/store/nlprjzilka7i79fwwjbxxagwjzx5
6z4s-dino-0.2.1
fontconfig  2.13.1  out /gnu/store/k6zs6zabhfybh6aphc4988wc2fsy
k5hh-fontconfig-2.13.1
font-liberation 2.1.4   out /gnu/store/qw087yajzsq8mjvq3nkxr3grmp3k
zcja-font-liberation-2.1.4
font-dejavu 2.37out /gnu/store/7y3lvk3xf4im8n44337mc6y0ccys
vfia-font-dejavu-2.37
glibc-locales   2.31out /gnu/store/wnw0nwlyg92vv33f5f65jj1rd3p4
fi3c-glibc-locales-2.31

But when I install gnucash, or cawbird and reboot the system doesn't
autologin and stays at login screen. Inserting the password is just
getting me back to the login screen.

To log in back again I do guix package --roll-back and then reboot.

The only error I have after that is that my panel notification applet
crashes (reloading works fine).

Here's what I did on my private branch, which has diverged quite a bit
from master, so I don't know whether it will apply cleanly.

bug#51141: guix home reconfigure does not apply changes to shepherd services

It's intentional, only `herd load root new-config.conf` called on
activation, so existing services are not affected to prevent situations,
where emacs daemon or other important process killed in the middle of
unsaved work.

You can do `herd unload root SERVICE_NAME` and after that reconfigure
will apply the latest configuration and start the service (if
auto-start? is true).
