Building hexyl (a rust app) without cargo, with antioxidant-build-system
I would have called it car/gone./ Do you believe sidestepping cargo all together like this is a good long term strategy? In particular that importing packages will still be easy.

You may be interested in trying out Jami; there's a package for it in Guix that works rather well, and there's also a jami service that is useful to easily keep a rendezvous point online on servers, for example. I've made available such a rendezvous point to the community, feel free to try it; it's reachable at 'rdv-jami-guix'. About making it modular; I know there's now a plugin system in Jami that enable people to author plugins to implement things such as changing the background (green screen), applying a blur filter, etc. The architecture of the software also makes it easy to create new clients for it, as the core library is a distinct package (libjami). Hope that helps, Maxim

Re: Video Conference
Well I thought it would be easier to build it natively on Guix from "scratch". For example, the BBB programs looked almost impossible to disassemble to components - at least it looked like it would be even harder than doing it all over again. But the question of what the "scratch" means... it seems there are a few components - WebRTC, audio codec, video codec, etc. And there are questions over whether to really mix the signals on server (for audio) or just bundling all separate lines of communications (for video), etc I would like to taken advantage of Guix to try different mixes and experiment > On Apr 3, 2022, at 03:34, jbra...@dismail.de wrote: > > April 2, 2022 12:26 AM, "Yasuaki Kudo" wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> 2 years ago, I joined meet.coop , a video conference service cooperative and >> explored the business >> potential in Japan. >> >> The coop hosted BBB but the gap I discovered was that the potential >> customers in Japan would not be >> interested unless the service is customized to their exact needs - otherwise >> they preferred Zoom >> and Google meet. >> >> So ability to to take the video conference service into minimalist >> components and then reassembling >> is very important >> > > Sounds like a worthwhile project.

Re: lxc and subuid
Dears, I would like stress my original intend. It would be great to have a easy (supported/documented/secure) way to build foreign distributions containers in guix (an ubuntu, debian or centos container). It could be by means of lxc, lxd or singularity (or whatever). The idea is that guix system becomes the distribution to rule them all (and not the contrary). I tried to build a guix package for a recent singularity version, mainly because the one available in guix is old and perhaps broken. But I miserably failed. Actually I do not master Go and its library system. I finished installing a nix package on the top of guix and that is fine for today. I do not know how to help here but I would like to have the possibility to create these "foreign" containers easily in guix. This would really impress the ones who do not yet know guix system.
