Re: wip-libreoffice

[John Darrington]

Thanks Andraes,

Note that LO has some *very* specific dependencies.  In some cases, they have
even gone so far as to fork projects.  So it may be that we'll need to maintain
several versions of a package to satisfy everthing.

Anyway, I will keep an eye on the build and see if we can make it build to a 
succesfull
conclusion.  Anyone else interested can also chip in.

Attached is a patch that fix the cluttering issue.  I've taken an
alternative design however: one that neither requires the creation
of another dedicated page, nor makes the JS license table always
visible on the main page.

The attached patch makes the logo of LibreJS float over the left
side of the footer's gray bar of links ("GNU home page ... Site map").
When the mouse cursor hovers over it, it expands to the full JS license
table, which is detached and floating over the main web page.  It's
simple, but works well.

This patch adds no Javascript code.  It adds only CSS code in-lined in
the page's header.

The file 'images.txz' contains the LibreJS logo, please extract it in
the root directory.

I hope it does the job.

Alright, I think we should contact him. My guess is he's not likely to
be very familiar with GNU/Linux or the Free Software community in
general (in addition to the licensing thing, the zip file contains
a .docx). I feel like if I draft a letter myself I'm likely to assume
too much knowledge.

Don, if the developers here agree, I'd appreciate it if you'd contact
the author, or perhaps draft a letter at least.

Re: wip-libreoffice

Hi John,

I enabled only x86_64 for libreoffice (and all systems for its added
dependencies) and created a jobset on hydra:
   http://hydra.gnu.org/jobset/gnu/wip-libreoffice
It should start building soon.

Notice that graphite2 is already available in the distribution, so there is
no need to add silgraphite.

It sounds that either mc or one of its dependencies deadlocks,
presumably in a non-deterministic fashion.

Can you still see which build failed exactly?  You may be able to find
it out using “bzgrep -r silence /var/log/guix/drvs/”.

Thanks for testing!

Actually, could you send them as patches (one per package preferably),
like you did for Openbox?  :-)  That is easier to deal with.

mail.scm sounds like a good place for Claws-mail, and I think Hexchat
should go to messaging.scm.

Everything in the distro is free software and “perfectly legal”, so no
need to mention it.  Could you instead just write a couple sentences
about what it technically looks like?

AFAICS, source files carry the “or any later version” clause, so it
should be ‘gpl2+’.

Remove “A”, and address other complaints ‘guix lint libetpan’ may have.

Testing 0.8

[Adam Pribyl]

I am testing the 0.8 Guix release as announced. Installation went pretty 
smooth from USB. Noticed network devices are now renamed to "unique" 
names. Fine, but one should be careful when starting networking and "eth0" 
is missing.


Just tried
guix package -i mc

to test it. Without substitutes this fails after long build at dependency 
"perl after 3600 seconds of silent". There is plenty of disk space this 
time (200GB) but I am probably still missing something essential to use 
guix as source based distro.



From substitutes "mc" installs OK.

 OK for the former, but why the latter?  In general I think it???s

I don't know why,  but it fails to build with "inputs".  (assoc-ref "inputs"

Yeah I have mixed feelings.  On one hand, I sympathize with the
rationale of making it prominent that it’s not just a “page” but also
software that’s being distributed.  On the other hand, less clutter is
better.

All in all, I’m happy to apply a patch that would move it to a different
page, or make it smaller and light-grey, something like that.

   (inc (string-append out "/include")))
  (begin
(mkdir-p inc)
(for-each
  (lambda (f) (copy-file f (string-append inc "/" f)))

I think moving the weblabels table to a separate page would be good.  It
clutters the page footer.  If users *really* want to see the licenses
and links to individual source files, they can click a link in the
footer that brings them to the table.  However, LibreJS exists because
most users *aren't* going to check that the JavaScript is free before
running it, so we automate the process.

I understand the rationale for weblabels, but I think they are a bad
technical decision that has caused me lots of annoying issues when they
mysteriously don't work.  I would much prefer a terse JSON
representation of this data intended for a program to read.  Why scrape
a web page when you have other options?  Why enforce markup restrictions
on web developers?

Sorry for the rant.

GNU Guix 0.8 released

[Ludovic Courtès]

We are pleased to announce the release of GNU Guix version 0.8,
representing 811 commits by 22 people over 4 months.


• About

  GNU Guix is the functional package manager for the GNU system
  and a distribution thereof.

  In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
  transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package
  management, per-user profiles, and garbage collection.  It also offers
  a declarative approach to operating system configuration management.
  Guix uses low-level mechanisms from the Nix package manager, with
  Guile Scheme programming interfaces.

  The operating system uses the Linux-Libre kernel and the GNU dmd init
  system.  At this stage it can be used on an i686 or x86_64 machine.

  It is also possible to use Guix on top of an already installed
  GNU/Linux system, including on mips64el.

  http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/


• Download

  Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-0.8.tar.gz
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-0.8.tar.gz.sig

  Here are the bootable USB installation images and their signatures[*]:

  [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
  .sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
  and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

gpg --verify guix-0.8.tar.gz.sig

  If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
  then run this command to import it:

gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 3D9AEBB5

  and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

  This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
Autoconf 2.69
Automake 1.14.1
Makeinfo 5.2


  To install the complete operating system, please see “System
  Installation” in the manual.


• Changes since version 0.7 (excerpt from the NEWS file)

  ** Package management

  *** New visual user interface in Emacs

  See “Emacs Interface” in the manual.

  *** New ‘guix environment’ command to produce development environment

  See “Invoking guix environment” in the manual.

  *** The ‘guix import’ command has been extended and documented

  It can now import packages from pypi.python.org and from GNU.
  See “Invoking guix import” in the manual.

  *** New ‘guix lint’ command, for use by Guix developers

  See “Invoking guix lint” in the manual.

  *** Packages can now be “grafted” with replacements of their dependencies

  See “Security Updates” in the manual.

  *** The distribution can be extended with ‘--load-path’ or $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH

  This allows users to maintain their own package definitions, and make them
  visible to the various user interfaces.  See “Package Modules” in the manual.

  *** ‘guix package’ better reports package upgrades

  *** ‘guix package’ has a new ‘--switch-generation’ option

  See “Invoking guix package” in the manual.

  *** ‘guix-daemon’ has a new ‘--substitute-urls’ option

  See “Invoking guix-daemon” in the manual.

  ** Distribution

  *** The stand-alone operating system now supports Linux mapped devices

  See “Mapped Devices” in the manual.

  *** New fields in ‘operating-system’ declarations, better documentation

  New fields include ‘hosts-file’, ‘mapped-devices’, and ‘swap-devices’.
  See “operating-system Reference” in the manual.

  *** New services: ‘dhcp-client-service’, ‘bitlbee-service’, ‘ntp-service’

  See “Services” in the manual.

  *** Free firmware can be loaded

  This notably enables support for some Atheros-based WiFi devices (ath9k-htc.)
  See “operating-system Reference” in the manual.

  *** ‘grub-configuration’ declarations can now specify a theme

  See “GRUB Configuration” in the manual.

  *** The ‘base-initrd’ now has a different signature

  Existing uses in ‘operating-system’ declarations need to be updated.  See
  “Initial RAM Disk” in the manual for details.

  *** eudev is now used by default, instead of an old udev release

  *** ‘guix system vm’ has a new ‘--full-boot’ option

  See “Invoking guix system” in the manual.

  *** The ‘file’ command is now part of the package build environment

  Autoconf-generated ‘configure’ scripts for packages using Libtool use ‘file’
  to determine the target ABI, notably on MIPS, hence this change.

  *** 162 new packages

  abiword, acpica, adns, arb, ath9k-htc-firmware, atlas, avrdude, cpp
