The implementation is made in C… --8<---cut here---end--->8--- which I think is the result of my first search of all -- which was for -"sha256" (sans quotes again, no more explaining that :). Actually, on the reader page, there is visually a blank line above the -"ghc-cryptohash-sha256 0.11.101.0" line in the snip above, though I don't think that's relevant to not seeing a refreshed reader view of new search results -- unless it's actually a wl-copy/paste bug somehow. The latter has a man page, but no --version option, though debian's -"dpgk -l 'wl-*'" found it [Version: 1.0.0-1], in case it plays any role. On debian, -"apt show wl-clipboard" should tell the package details for you if needed. In my case it's re-packaged for pureos, so it'd be good to test reader view on other browsers and distributions. Anyway, raingloom got me thinking more about reader mode, and I think he would appreciate attention to that.

Re: Jami: Updating opendht needed
Hello, Seems opendht is fine, but Jami just fails during compilation. Reported the issue here: https://git.jami.net/savoirfairelinux/ring-daemon/issues/261 It seems they build their package with meson now, but libring requires meson 0.54 or higher. Tried upgrading it quickly and dirty but glib or glibc failed to compile. I can't do anything until developers fix this or someone bumps meson, sorry. Jan Wielkiewicz
Re: [Guix Website] A Search Page for Packages
Yes, this kind of search is much better. Good work! I wonder, can bad people abuse the search for denial-of-service or is the number of searches limited?

I find it great that search works without JavaScript and think users should not normally be required to enable privacy-killing JavaScript. However, search-as-you-type indeed is a nice feature for the JS-enabled users. I do not know how to reasonably implement it though (and in what programming language). Also the improvement of search-as-you-type vs. the current proposal is not big. Regards, Florian
Re: [Guix Website] A Search Page for Packages
A few quick thoughts – * There should be a link documenting the search language. Are there Booleans allowed? Is “stemming” automatic? Do quote characters do anything? Is proximity searching available? Regular expressions? What columns are searched? License? Version? Author? * Immediate feedback of hits as you type is “nice”. IMO suggested completion of search times is nicer. * Browsing alphabetically by picking a letter provide little to no value * Full detail of hits in columnar format is preferred over “cards” Still lurking myself but loving the improvements….

Jami: Updating opendht needed
Hello, I need someone to push this commit: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-patches/2020-07/msg00226.html From this version, my toaster can't build opendht anymore and I'm stuck on Fedora on my newer now, where I have no Guix available.

Would you mind sharing what you have so far? Even just a complete braindump of notes or WIP code could be helpful to move this along! I've started reading some for the docs over at: https://docs.racket-lang.org/pkg/index.html I'm getting an idea of some things but it would be useful to hear what you and Claes have explored so far!
