chromaprint: fpcalc missing
The chromaprint commandline tool "fpcalc" to compute fingerprints is missing. I believe passing the CMAKE argument -DBUILD_TOOLS=ON would be enough. I guess it would be a nice fit for a separate output. -- Pierre Neidhardt signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Pros and cons of Emacs package management through Guix instead of package.el
I am thinking of using Guix to manage all my Emacs packages. I can think of several benefits: - Guix provides (possibly) more stable versions. - Guix can update all packages without hanging Emacs. - Guix can update all packages from the commandline, i.e. it can be scripted. - Guix can rollback Emacs packages. Emacs package updates and system program updates can belong to the same transaction: this enforces the integrity of the software stack at the user level. - Guix allows for sharing package files among several users on a multi-user system. And possible downsides: - package.el provides more up-to-date packages through MELPA but if we really want to be more cutting edge (i.e. for development), we are usually better off cloning the repository anyway. - Guix is basically duplicating the effort of (M)ELPA. What's your take on this? -- Pierre Neidhardt signature.asc Description: PGP signature

This is so because it fails too early, that is, before it builds.
The error is that when using `-f`, guix build _evaluates_ the target
file and builds the _result_. See `guix build --help`.
The `define-public` does not return a `package`, hence the error.
Simply remove the `define-public` and it should work.
Alternatively, you can place your file in a folder pointed by
GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH, leave the `define-public` and build with `guix build
freefilesync --keep-failed`.
Don't forget that the declared module must match the path, so if you
stick to (gnu packages freefilesync) place the file in
$GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH/gnu/packages/freefilesync.scm.

I think you need
(native-inputs
`(("unzip" ,unzip)))
And add the (gnu packages compression) module.
A nit: the package name should be lowercase I think.
Love the description, haha! :)

Re: units_cur
I want to update whenever the file is older than 1 day (so that it does not do anything on reboot for instance) and every 1 day from then on (so that it keeps updating even if I don't reboot).

Thinking about it, I don't think that would work. I haven't tested the
following, but let's consider the Udev rule:
(define %automount-udev-rule
(udev-rule
"90-automount.rules"
(string-append "KERNEL=\"sd[a-z][0-9]\", ACTION==\"add\",
SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", "
"RUN+=\"/run/current-system/profile/bin/udisksctl
mount -b /dev/%k\"")))
It would mount the drive as root, not for the current user.
It's possible to mount the drives for every one though:
(define %automount-udev-rule
(udev-rule
"90-automount.rules"
(string-append "KERNEL=\"sd[a-z][0-9]\", ACTION==\"add\",
SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", "
"ENV{UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED}=\"1\","
"RUN+=\"/run/current-system/profile/bin/udisksctl
mount -b /dev/%k\"")))
Conclusion: a udev rule might solve part of the problem (auto-mounting) but
it does not allow for per-user mount points.
In the end, udiskie might be the better option. What do you think?

I'm not very familiar with the "git" protocol: does it require some
special configuration?
I also tried specifying a local path:

This is too bad, I believe it's an important feature for any package
manager.
As far as I can tell, `portage` and `pacman` can both do it.
Any plan regarding guix?

Running `guix package -u emacs` does nothing special, possibly because
it's already up to date. Can I force a rebuild?

Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Both emacs and stow still work properly but I wonder where this comes
from. Did I miss something during the install?

Missing pinentry-emacs for gpg-agent?
Somewhat surprisingly, pinentry-emacs does not seem to be in the repo. Is it intentional? I'd love to have it back. On a related topic, is it possible to share a gpg-agent.conf between a Guix-based system and another system? What I mean here is that the following line in gpg-agent.conf: pinentry-program /home/ambrevar/.guix-profile/bin/pinentry won't work on other systems (/usr/bin/pinentry on other systems is somewhat more universal, but hey...). -- Pierre Neidhardt signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Fail to configure home-directory
I'm hitting issues when setting the home folder. The default home is /home/ambrevar. If I change `home-directory' to "/foo" and run `guix system reconfigure' then "/foo" is created but the home folder is still "/home/ambrevar". Furthermore, I cannot mount a filesystem as /home: ``` (file-system (device "home") (title 'label) (mount-point "/home") (type "ext4")) ``` Running `guix system reconfigure' hangs after the `usermod...' changes. Not sure about how to print more debug details. Did I hit a bug? -- Pierre Neidhardt signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Re: Installation: Load non-free wifi firmware (iwlwifi)
> "The trouble with firmware" by Jake Edge, January 5, 2011 > https://lwn.net/Articles/421680/ Interesting article. I share similar views and I believe that making proprietary code hard to proliferate is laudable. See the GPL license. I'm not completely convince how Linux-libre would work towards that end though. That said, I'm now stuck with an iwlwifi card and I have to live with that much backward practices. > As Ludo mentioned elsewhere, using a dongle is one good option. What > prevents you from using a dongle? A nit, really, but I have an rather extreme life-style that pushes me to travel as lightweight as possible. A dongle is not much for sure, but if I can I'd rather avoid it. The other issue is that when I initially wrote this e-mail I could not buy one and could not even order online. Not a problem anymore for now. Being even more picky, dongles have drawbacks: - They occupy a USB port (I have only 2). - They stick out... :p > https://minifree.org/ Thanks for the link, I did not know about it. Very nice initiative. I am now running the ultra-thin laptop Xiaomi Air 13, which, beside the non-free iwlwifi card, is an excellent piece of hardware in my opinion.

Re: Installation: Load non-free wifi firmware (iwlwifi)
An idea crossed my mind: from a foreign distribution with Guix installed, run guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt The documentation tells us that's not enough though: > With the target partitions ready and the target root mounted on ‘/mnt’, > we’re ready to go. First, run: > > herd start cow-store /mnt > >This makes ‘/gnu/store’ copy-on-write, such that packages added to it > during the installation phase are written to the target disk on ‘/mnt’ > rather than kept in memory.
