Guix's python has pip's user dir in its loadpath
Dear Guix devs, While working around this bug: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63912 I found that guix's Python will load anything in .local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ over any installed package in the current profile. This makes pip-installed package overshadow guix's. I'm not sure this is desirable behavior. What I was expecting was for the host system's python packages to be completely ignored. If I need to change that, I can explicitely change GUIX_PYTHONPATH. GUIX_PYTHONPATH is set to: /home/edouard/.guix-profile/lib/python3.10/site-packages /gnu/store/avgyacvy2n4x510dpwsf9dzadh7ldnd2-profile/lib/python3.10/site-packages /home/edouard/.guix-profile/lib/python3.10/site-packages /home/edouard/.guix-profile/lib/python3.9/site-packages /home/edouard/.guix-profile/lib/python3.9/site-packages /home/edouard/.guix-profile/lib/python3.9/site-packages /home/edouard/.guix-profile/lib/python3.9/site-packages Therefore loading packages from ~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ must be hardcoded in the interpreter. Any thoughts ? Maybe it is a known problem ? If so, my apologies for the noise. Cheers, Edouard.
Re: About donation to GNU Guix project
As I understand hosting is possible for a quick solution but please give me some time to think about how to get involved deeply with the community. Thanks for your understanding. And ... Happy Hacking !... :) On 6/12/23 4:43 AM, Maxim Cournoyer wrote: Hi Mert, Mert Gör writes: > hi people ! > > I want to learn if I can donate hardware(server and other hardware for > GNU Guix infrastructure) or donate with some money if they all > possible I'll be happy > > happy hacking ! > > hwpplayer1 on Libera.chat Donating hardware is a bit tricky because it needs to be hosted somewhere, but it can be discussed and welcome, especially if the hosting can also be provided somehow (we have a couple machines running in people's home connecting via a WireGuard tunnel to the build farm from which we can get packages built via Cuirass). Money is easy to keep for when it is needed. It gets spent on various things such as hardware replacements (e.g. SSDs), hosting fees, Guix events, etc. There are at least two places you can donate money two: 1. Free Software Foundation (FSF): https://my.fsf.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=50 2. Guix Europe http://foundation.guix.info/ I'm actually not sure how donating to Guix Europe works (I know you can become a member for a small fee), but you could ask for the bank account number and wire the funds there. I'd use the one closest to you geographically, as the processing costs (e.g. the cost of a wire transfer) should be lower. The FSF does take a 10% cut on any new deposit, but I that's fair since they provide the Guix project with valuable services such as the Savannah hosting and Debbugs service, mailing lists, etc. (on top of their excellent mission to spread the word and defend free software).

It's no the end of the world, but if it's avoidable, it should be, in my opinion. A bigger problem with rebasing is that it means a single person can push changes to the rebased branch. As discussed previously in this thread, a good policy would be to suggest avoid *both* rebases and merges during a feature branch development. This way we avoid both problems, and if the branch is short lived, it should be bearable that is isn't synced with master for its short lifetime. -- Thanks, Maxim
