Re: [Nix-dev] Too many open issues
I did triaging in the past in a big distro. What was frustrating was that I had the feeling that most bugs were fixed by themselves (like if they were rediscovered and fix upstream, or care about when developers encounters them by themselves). Thinking about it, I have come to the conclusion that it is probably part of how teams organize like: -documenters -bug triagers -developers etc. I think it would help to organize around subject: -administrating tools --cloud --other -games -desktops --kde --gnome-shell --mate --cinnamon --other -printing -audio/video -office software -science --astronomy --medical --electronic --other -other Developers are likely to prefer to organize around programming languages. I guess it is ok to let them aggregate by programming language, but that way, should be kept less important than the previous category I think. So it is important that bug triagers, documentation, etc. are on the same teams as developers that have access to infrastructure, and that suggestions can become real changes. I believe that to achieve this, a forum is a much better place than a mailing list. ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

So, once the go get is done (without SDL2_ttf that we don't seems to
have but that is optional anyway), my test program did compiled and
run outside of nix-shell, which is really what I wanted.

Well, I can vaguely understand I should build this, with a nix

[Nix-dev] RP-PPPoE should be fixed a bit then included on the CD(DVD)
I use an old ADSL modem that does not connect itself to my ISP nor does lend IP address. So I need to use RP-PPPoE to connect and deconnect from Internet. Using nixos-env -iA nixos.pkgs.rp-pppoe is not an option as it try to connect to Internet to download the sources. I have been able to test RP-PPPoE under VMWARE (3.10). First, pppose-setup seems to auto-diagnose a good installation by checking for /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf file. And on NixOS it does not exist as it is in the store. pppoe-status seems to do about the same. pppoe-setup have made a pppoe.conf file, with user option in lowercase, but it seems to need to be uppercase to work. There does not seems to have NixOS options for RP-PPPOE but wvdial options seems to be there. Less than one year ago I was still using an external 56k modem... so installing wvdial on the CD(DVD) would seems like a good idea to me, even if I would not be surprised some would disagree. I think it is important to have the packages that allows to connect to Internet on the CD/DVD. ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
Re: [Nix-dev] pppd is unable to open the /etc/ppp device
I did not really test NixOS lately, but normaly /etc/ppp is rather where to find configuration files. The device is usualy /dev/ttyS0 (for the first serial RS232-C connector) or /dev/ttyS1 (for the second one). Or even /dev/ttyS2 or /dev/ttyS3 for the third and fourth in some cases (mostly internal one). ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
Re: [Nix-dev] pppd is unable to open the /dev/ppp device
Well, serial lines are not PlugPlay like PCI bus. So, AsFarAsIKnow, the Linux kernel does not generate any UDEV event for serial lines. (Like it does for most other devices). I guess, most people would use WinModems that necessitate to compile their own modules, which in my experience, sometimes cares to create /dev/ppp (by adding a UDEV rule I suppose). That said, I finaly get my hand on some cheap external 56k modem which avoid me the painfull process of module compilation... and I suspect it works less and less because these modules would tend to not have any developers to update them. ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
Re: [Nix-dev] pppd is unable to open the /dev/ppp device
Well, I said the modem module was in my experience creating /dev/ppp but now I remember it is rather /dev/modem. Sure, /dev/ppp exist here, c type, major 108, minor 0. (using Arch Linux right now) But I don't know how it is created... oh wait: Accordint to http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg03622.html it is created by the module ppp_generic. I believe UDEV allows to give a specific name to the device, but that the kernel would create it with default name, without any user mode UDEV rules. Well, I have quite a fuzzy knowledge of UDEV, don't thrust too much what I say. So, if /dev/ppp is not there for you I would guess you don't have ppp_generic listed in lsmod. Now, I don't know how the module is suppose to be loaded under NixOS. ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
Re: [Nix-dev] pppd is unable to open the /dev/ppp device
My wild guess would be that PPP is not activated in the Linux kernel (networking devices section). Don't know it is by default... would not be surprised if it would not be activated by default because most people would use a router that would connect to the Internet, so that most people would not have to use it. 2011/12/3, Paul Dufresne dufres...@gmail.com: Well, I said the modem module was in my experience creating /dev/ppp but now I remember it is rather /dev/modem.

Re: [Nix-dev] Why Nix-0.16 so hungry on ressources (mem + cpu) ?
Was using Nix-0.16. With it, I was able to: sudo nix-install-package --non-interactive --url http://hydra.nixos.org/build/1463174/nix/pkg/nix-1.0pre29920-i686-linux.nixpkg which is trunk nix. Or at least was not long ago. It also shows the 56k connection was not so bad: did download perl-5.10.1, gcc-4.5, etc. Nix trunk seems to be quite similar to Nix-0.16 in term of memory used, or the 'too much' nix-expressions evaluated. CPU would be used at only about 6%, but 'waiting' about 90% according to top. I guess this is caused by trashing due to the big 70% memory used. ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
