Hi!

Please test the USB installation image at:

http://www.fdn.fr/~lcourtes/software/guix/guixsd-usb-install-0.9.0pre.x86_64-linux.xz.sig

This is for x86_64 and the installation instruction still apply:

  
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/System-Installation.html


… but tty2 in the installation image provides the latest version of the
manual, with slightly different examples (notably with an encrypted 
root

partition.)

Hi!  I test this install image using qemu by:

  qemu-system-x86-64 -enable-kvm -m 512 -hda guixsd-usb-install* -hdb 
disk.img


Follow the manual to setup encryted root, using the desktop.scm 
template, but

at the final step, it failed with:

  Path '/mnt/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot.
  Installation is impossible. Aborting.

  (can be reproduced by `grub-install /dev/sdb --boot-directory 
/mnt/boot')


After search, it seems that an un-encrypted boot partition is needed:

  
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#Preparing_the_boot_partition


So, I run fdisk to add a boot partiotion, finally install finished!

But it can't boot, I have to mount the encrypted root in Grub's cmdline:

  insmod cryptodisk
  insmod luks
  cryptomount hd0,msdos2

That's all I get so far.

[PATCH] tests: Skip 'guix environment --container' tests in some cases.

[David Thompson]

Hey Ludo,

Took a stab at fixing the guix-environment-container.sh tests when the
necessary features aren't available.  GuixSD systems don't have
/proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone so I couldn't verify that
code path works as intended.  All I can say is that the tests still pass
on my machine as they did before.

WDYT?  Did I make it in time for the release?

Thanks,

- Dave

Re: [PATCH] website: Add support for Haunt.

[Daniel Pimentel]

Hi Mathieu and Guix,


Thanks to Alex Vong's impulse, I have implemented a first step in the
use of Dave Thompson's site generator Haunt 
(http://haunt.dthompson.us/)

for the GuixSD website.


It's great!

Dave helped me to build website with Haunt.

I builded my website with Haunt (git):
https://notabug.org/d4n1/guga

I copy site folder builded with Haunt to my static site (cvs) on 
savannah:

http://guga.nongnu.org/

Thanks Dave.

Wow, cool!  I'm surprised at how little code is needed to make the
basics work.  I'll have to try this patch out sometime and see what we
can do to improve it.  I'm sure we'll find a thing or two that Haunt
can do better in the process.

Hello Guix,

Thanks to Alex Vong's impulse, I have implemented a first step in the
use of Dave Thompson's site generator Haunt (http://haunt.dthompson.us/)

I will need more details on the deployment of the website on gnu.org to
hopefully get rid of the parameter objects tweaking.

How odd!  It’s only been a couple of weeks between packaging it and
pushing the commit.  Changing tarballs/gems in place is bad.

I’ll take a look at this soon and update the recipe if the change is
harmless.

Thanks for letting me know!

If you do this you will probably want to do this instead:

  ; in .emacs
  (setq sendmail-program "/home/USER/bin/sendmail")

  # at the shell
  git config sendemail.smtpserver $HOME/bin/sendmail

This patch adds a "sendmail" that works, more or less.  In my ~/.esmtprc
I have:

hostname = your.smtp.server:port
username = u...@email.com
password = 'yourpasswordhere'
starttls = required

That configures the esmtp MTA.  Then in Emacs you have these variables:

 (setq send-mail-function 'sendmail-send-it)
 (setq sendmail-program "/home/USER/.guix-profile/sbin/sendmail")

And install esmtp:

 guix package -i esmtp

So now C-x m works, cool.  You probably also want to install
git-send-email:

 guix package -i git:send-email

and configure it globally:

 git config --global sendemail.from "Your Name "
 # Don't Cc: yourself on mails.
 git config --global sendemail.suppressfrom true
 git config sendemail.smtpserver $HOME/.guix-profile/sbin/sendmail
 git config envelopesender auto

And probably in your guix checkout you want to do:

 git config sendemail.to guix-devel@gnu.org

And if all that is set up... well then you should be able to

 git send-email 0001-foo.patch 0002-bar.patch

or

 git send-email origin/master..HEAD

or whatever.  Anyway you all have probably already hooked all of this up
but I was really struggling, and maybe this is useful to someone else.

Finally, the esmtp daemon will normally block on sending mails and never
queue anything.  If you want to queue, there's the esmtp-wrapper shell
script shipped with esmtp; simply do:

 ln -s ~/.guix-profile/bin/esmtp-wrapper ~/bin/sendmail
 ln -s ~/.guix-profile/bin/esmtp-wrapper ~/bin/mailq

It will queue to ~/.esmtp_queue.  This gives you the ability to send
mails while being offline.  Later to send them, you can "mailq -q".

OK, that's all!  At some point it would be nice to rewrite this hacky
pile of C and shell with a nice Guile relay-only MTA, but that day is
not today, at least for me :)

Cheers,

Andy

Off-topic, but this happened to me, too. I'm still using Debian's git,
but I bet the problem is that git-send-email needs to be able to find 
an

SMTP client. And, of course, that clients needs to be configured.


Do you have "git:send-email" installed?

I now checked and Debian contains no patches to remove any files.

Although this made me notice it uses a bundled zlib by default.  I'll

Hi!

Please test the USB installation image at:

  
http://www.fdn.fr/~lcourtes/software/guix/guixsd-usb-install-0.9.0pre.x86_64-linux.xz
  SHA1: 0d7f37d5b18f7b4437b447fc8a90b44c470f6e99
  
http://www.fdn.fr/~lcourtes/software/guix/guixsd-usb-install-0.9.0pre.x86_64-linux.xz.sig

This is for x86_64 and the installation instruction still apply:

  https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/System-Installation.html

… but tty2 in the installation image provides the latest version of the
manual, with slightly different examples (notably with an encrypted root
partition.)

I’m sorry that once again these arrive a day or two before the target
release date.  Please report back ASAP.

Reports of installations in VMs are interesting; bare-metal installation
are even better.

Thanks!  :-)

It’s cheating!  ;-)  Could you investigate and see whether/how tests
could run in the build environment?  A common problem wrt. networking in
host name lookups.  In the build environment, only “localhost” can be
found.

> The second problem was that pkg-config wouldn't find c-ares, so it

In that case, I would do this:

  guix build -K aria2
  # … build fails
  cd /tmp/nix-build*aria2*
  source environment-variables
  pkg-config c-ares --libs

(Replace “c-ares” with the name corresponding to the actual .pc file
provided by c-ares.)

It might be that this command fails because of a missing dependency that
the .pc file requires.

The variable in the log should be ‘newt’, not ‘slang’.

Otherwise LGTM!

Sure, makes sense.  It’ll be several weeks before it is merged, though,

Thanks, sorry for not replying earlier.

One thing that may be worth double-checking if you haven’t already:
since it’s an emulator, we should make sure there’s no non-free software
or binary blobs in there.  Maybe checking what Debian does can help
here.

Hi,

There are some instructions in website/README but I must confess they
are not very explicit.  Assuming that DIR is the root of your personal
guix-artwork repository, in a REPL you can do:

  (chdir "DIR/website")
  (add-to-load-path (getcwd))
  (use-modules (www) (www utils))
  (parameterize ((current-url-root (getcwd))
 (gnu.org-root "https://www.gnu.org";))
(export-web-site))

Then you will have the generated html files in “DIR/website”.

Simplifying the build process is on my TODO list.  :)

Re: “System” and “profile” services

Commits d62e201 and af4c3fd add ‘system-service-type’, which is the now
the real root of the service DAG, and ‘profile-service-type’, which is
the service that populates the system profile
(aka. /run/current-system/profile.)

The latter means that services can add packages to the system profile,
which is useful in some cases.

For instance, with commit 87f4001, Wicd adds itself to the system
profile so that ‘wicd-client’ and other commands are automatically
available, without having to fiddle with the ‘packages’ field of the OS.

This should simplify things a bit.


Nice! I'll test that when release comes...

Re: [PATCH] gnu: Add nestopiaue.

[Taylan Ulrich Bayırlı/Kammer]

I now pushed a slightly edited version of this patch.

(Removed the xdg-utils input since I was already patching out its use in
the Makefile, removed the freedesktop module use that was needed for
xdg-utils, and renamed the package to nestopia-ue.)

What does LibreJS say?  The packages.js file in the guix-artwork repo
has a license tag at the top, but maybe it is malformed?

Thanks for looking into it,
