It would be helpful to provide a link to any documentation that's part of this 
work, as neither "guix locate" nor "guix index" have been discussed on 
guix-devel previously. I look forward to learning more about this feature!

Re: Suggest improve emacs setting in 'The Perfect Setup'

Possible also mention how to set up page break lines: 
https://github.com/purcell/page-break-lines


By the way, another good alternative to that Emacs package is: 
https://depp.brause.cc/form-feed/


But I don't think that either of these packages should be 
mentioned in The Perfect Setup. They don't relate to Guix 
specifically.




Re: rust-build-system from antioxidant

A few months ago, Maxime Devos worked on a new rust-build-system to
handle a few issues we were experiencing with cargo (see discussions on
antioxidant in guix-devel).

A month ago, we discussed about the possibility of the integration in
core guix, and the required steps. Maxime and I had a different
approach. Maxime highlighted the possibility to make a smooth transition
but once that would require many gradual changes and deprecation. My
approach was that since we'll have to eventually migrate all packages to
rust-build-system, and since we can freeze all former rust packages in
an archive channel, I would be clearer to make the transition at once.

Actually, I started out with the non-gradual approach, but that was 
overruled by Ludo', IIRC.

Changes to the branching/commit policy

2023-06-08 Thread Christopher Baines
Hey!

The changes in #63459 have strayed now in to touching the commit policy
[1]. My intent was to simplify the guidance by grouping it better, but I
think the significant change here is that the commit policy now
references the entire branching strategy, rather than just talking about
sending patches for review.

1: 
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Commit-Access.html#Commit-Policy

That new branching strategy makes some "should" requirements on sending
patches for review and pushing to topic branches for larger changes. It
also makes a "must" requirement on opening guix-patches issues to track
and manage merging branches.

I'd like to merge these changes next week since they've been up for a
few weeks, so do comment if you have any thoughts or if you'd like more
time to review them.

Thanks,

Chris

Joining this thread with a different issue, it looks like this change
has broken sbcl on armhf-linux [1].

1: 
https://data.guix.gnu.org/repository/1/branch/master/package/sbcl/output-history?output=out=armhf-linux=none

Maybe you tested this locally and knew of this breakage, but it would
still be good to send this for review (either as some patches or pushed
to a branch) so that it's visible to others what the effect of the
change will be.
