I'm not sure either :)

There are licenses and packages both named 'expat' and 'openssl', so
when we need to use both the package and the license of one of those
names in a single module, we must prefix the license. Otherwise the
symbol is ambiguous and the module can't be built.

If that's not the case here, can you resubmit without the license
prefix?

Okay, feel free to share your work as you go! I'll probably make an
attempt as well, although I can't say exactly when.

GNU Guix diagram

[myglc2]

Upon installing GuixSD a month ago I found it difficult to get a grip on
GNU Guix' stucture. Because I like pictures I made a diagram showing
what I think I now understand about how GNU Guix' works. I am thinking
it might be helpful to Guix newcomers. Comments &/or corrections would
be most welcome. - George

Re: [PATCH] gnu: Add idle3-tools.

[Tobias Geerinckx-Rice]

For example, I'm now no longer sure why I added a licence
namespace nor whether that's a good idea.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to throw a certain console
browser out of a very high window.

[Tobias Geerinckx-Rice]

Hallo Guix,

Perhaps I should have added that I did run `guix lint'
on this without issues.

Anyone fancy having a look?

[Lynx won't let me remove lines. Nice. At least I'm on GuixSD]

Hullo Leo,

Sorry, not yet. I've had no free time lately. I hope the
coming week will bring some. Either way, 0.9.1 won't yet
have much butter in it.

I'll try writing a static package expression before diving
into the initrd, which I'm guessing is quite different from
that of your average Linux distribution...

Kind regards,

What is the effect of a wrapper compared to propagation? My
understanding is that the wrapped environment is only visible to the
wrapped binary. Is that correct? If so, it seems less intrusive to the
user's profile.

Wow, thanks for this patch!

Can you say if you learned anything else... "interesting" about lynx and
https support?

For example, a couple months ago I was reading our bug reports and saw
an old one about https support in w3m (another console browser). I dug a
little deeper and realized that https support was completely broken by
default. You can see the result in commit 62339e2d493bf87.

So, do you know if lynx is still supporting broken ciphers and
protocols, or if there are other problems of that nature?

Also, what is role of gnutls once this patch is applied? Does lynx need
to refer to both gnutls and openssl?

Exim security update

[Leo Famulari]

I just updated Exim from 4.86 to 4.86.2, fixing CVE-2016-1531 [0].

"All installations having Exim set-uid root and using 'perl_startup' are
vulnerable to a local privilege escalation. Any user who can start an
instance of Exim (and this is normally *any* user) can gain root
privileges. If you do not use 'perl_startup' you *should* be safe." [1]

According to upstream, the changes may break existing installations.
Please read their announcement [1] for more details.

If this inital post was written a bit strange and off in words,
what I meant to express was: hey, look. I got a server with
uncapped bandwidth, these specs, I could maybe (not sure about
the specifics as I am not an ovh customer myself yet) get more
disks if needed, setup any OS I want and offer it to us (Guix) as
a third mirror, hydra slave, or whatever you can think off we
need right now the most. I guess it is physically located in
France.

Server for Guix Hydra/Slave ?

[Nils Gillmann]

So a friend is about to drop one of his dedicated servers, and we
are discussing what to do with it... another tor relay, some
other project, and I had the idea, wel maybe we could use it?

It's a 36€ / year server (I don't believe in the security of OVH,
but others say it's okay, I personally favor in-berlin.de over
most providers I had), specs:
Mainboard Intel Corporation DN2800MT CPU Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU

2048 MB
Atom™ N2800 640 346 2c / 4t  1.86 GHz+ 2 GB 500 GB 100 Mbit/s /128

Somewhere around 100 or 150 MB/s in connection if I read the
conversation right.

[PATCH 0/5] Add Khard and dependencies

[Leo Famulari]

These patches add the command-line address book Khard and its
dependencies.

I use it as described here: .

I also took the opportunity to update python2-pyicu and create both
Python variants. The warnings in the old python2-pyicu definition seem
to no longer apply.

Leo Famulari (5):
  gnu: Add python2-atomicwrites.
  gnu: python2-pyicu: Update to 1.9.2.
  gnu: Split python2-pyicu into python-pyicu and python2-pyicu.
  gnu: Add python-vobject.
  gnu: Add khard.

Guix Europe

Dear Guixers,

some of you have already spotted documents concerning a mysterious entity
called "Guix Europe" appear in the maintenance-git repo. So now I have a
pleasant announcement to make... But wait - I am not going to write it all up
a second time. Read on here:

I understand, but this is hack to work around “broken packaging” on our
side (“broken” in the sense that it sucks in comparison to what, say,
Debian provides), not a great recipe that we want users to care about.

I think I was afraid that existing uses in unexpected place would break,
such as when using the full name as anchor names in HTML.

But then I also remember a version of ‘package-full-name’ that took an
optional separator that defaulted to ‘@’.  I forgot the details!  :-)
I don’t think it’s crucial though.  WDYT?

Looks good.  I forgot about these places where the “full name” matters,

GSoC strikes again

Hello!

Good news!  GNU has been accepted as a mentoring organization for
Google’s Summer of Code (GSoC).  So if you’d like to help Guix & GNU and
on top of that get a paycheck, now is the time to see how you can help!

Ideas have been collected for Guix, GuixSD, and the Shepherd at:

  https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/GSoC-2016

If you’re an eligible student, you can look at them and discuss them on
guix-devel.  Everyone is welcome to propose new ideas, and to promote
the page above in search of wonderful hackers!

Augeas is both a library and a command line tool.  For a command line
tool propagation is ugly and I’d like to avoid it.

What should I best do in this case?

Hi Justus,

Is it not necessary to also do something about the other files that
mention weechat's prevoius location? For example:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
$ grep -r gnu/packages/weechat .
./po/packages/da.po:#: gnu/packages/weechat.scm:92

./po/packages/pl.po:#: gnu/packages/weechat.scm:93
./po/packages/POTFILES.in:gnu/packages/weechat.scm

Oh, good!

Your patch doesn’t include the patch

gnu/packages/patches/cups-dir.patch

We also usually don’t put so many unrelated changes into the same
commit.  I see that your commit updates “cups-minimal”, adds a patch,
changes the configure-flags for “cups-minimal” and “cups”(?) ... It
would be better to split them into separate commits.

Shouldn’t it read the configuration from “/etc” first and only then look
up its default configuration file in “$out/etc/”?  It’s weird that this
unchanged file (or was it changed by the missing patch?) would be
reported as containing errors.

It got re-licensed as GPL2+ with the additional note to the
original writers. I reference to another application version than
in the original question I had, the one I had was before the
apparent more or less rewrite and adoption which happened in 2010
and this version is from 2013, where what I started with had big
parts from 1998.

Hm, I wonder why?  You already had the required changes in your initial
patch.  Anyway, I'm attaching the patch with these changes.  The only
difference from your original patch is replacing 'package-full-name'
with 'make-package-specification' in "guix-main.scm".

Sorry if it was discussed but why 'package-full-name' from (guix
packages) wasn't changed?

Also I have a question regarding hydra.  Will hydra jobs still have
such names as "git-2.6.3" or will they also be changed to "git@2.6.3"?

If the former, then some additional changes should be done (the patch
for this is also attached).

Beta! :)

Re: recommend the binary install as the path to guixSD?

Maybe this is the right thing.  Maybe the fastest path to a good GuixSD
installation is via a minimal debian install + detrout's Guix package!

That said it's a bit terrifying in some ways.  I guess you could always
work onto a separate partition, that would limit some of the terror.  I
moved a Debian or some other system over to NixOS at one point and
whooo, running "mv /etc /old-etc" and similar commands can give you
pause!

But, I was also skeptical of the "just unpack the /gnu/store tarball and
copy the sqlite file" approach, and that has turned out to work really
well, so maybe this is a thing!
