Mark H Weaver m...@netris.org skribis: So, I come again to the same conclusion: that we should switch to OpenBLAS on _all_ platforms, and strip away the ATLAS-handling code in our python-numpy package. We can work on fixing OpenBLAS to MIPS later. Agreed, we can’t afford not to have

As reported today on #guix https://gnunet.org/bot/log/guix/2015-06-07#T672445, it is not obvious how to use guix.el when a binary installation was used. So this patch is intended to improve the documentation on that subject. From f14f533935169be164a94ecdcfeeecf6690bc07f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
