Containers on Guix
Hello all, As some of you know, I wrote 'guix environment' as the first step on my journey to use Guix to improve my (and hopefully others) software development workflow. Now that the basics are working, I'm interested in taking things further. In particular, I want to extend 'guix environment' to support spawning VMs and then, hopefully, containers (those things that the Docker folks have been talking about so much lately). I did some reading about how Docker creates containers and discovered that it uses systemd-nspawn[0] to do it. Since Guix uses dmd, using systemd-nspawn isn't an option. Does anyone have thoughts on how we might have similar functionality in the Guix distro? Would an nspawn equivalent be appropriate for dmd? Or a completely separate program? This seems to be a Linux only feature, so if we added a container creation program, would it make it harder to support the Hurd? I'm lost and confused! Send help! :) -- David Thompson Web Developer - Free Software Foundation - http://fsf.org GPG Key: 0FF1D807 Support the FSF: https://fsf.org/donate

Re: Testing 0.8
On Tue, 18 Nov 2014, Ludovic Courtès wrote: Adam Pribyl skribis: 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. Right, we should probably add a note in the manual. 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. 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/”. Either it is rewritten by subsequent installs or not there at all as I did not found any. BTW: bzgrep does not work recursively on my 0.8 install, have to use find.. Thanks for testing! Ludo’. Adam Pribyl
Release process
I added to guix/maintenance.git a document, doc/release.org, that attempts to document the release process (said process could probably benefit from a bit more automation.) If you’re curious, I’d welcome comments. Ludo’.

FOSDEM talk
Hello, I would like to submit a proposal for a Guix talk to the distribution track at FOSDEM, like last year, and the deadline is approaching: https://fosdem.org/2015/news/2014-09-30-accepted-devrooms/ On one hand, I’m starting to feel like a broken record ;-), but on the other, a general talk along the lines of the 2014 GHM probably can’t hurt given that Guix is still little known. What do people think? What topic do you think should be addressed? What was missing from this summer’s GHM talk? BTW, if there are volunteers, there could also be more focused Guix talks in the Lisp track and in the Configuration management track. Any takers? :-) Thanks, Ludo’.
