“Code Staging in GNU Guix”

Hello Guix! I wrote a recap of G-expressions, how we got there, and how they differ from related work that I’ll have the pleasure to present at GPCE¹ in Vancouver end of October: https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01580582/en (The web site rebuilt the PDF from LaTeX source and that led to a weird layout

Removing the need for ./configure --localstatedir=/var ?

Every now and then I rebuild Guix and hit the problem where I run ./configure and then I am reminded that I need to instead do: ./configure --localstatedir=/var IIRC this is because of GNU standards about default paths and pretty much no other reason that we don't default to /var. But I think

Hi, Sorry for delayed replay, it's busy time at work/home. I'll check and fix it as soon as possibly, but you always can pull request it on a GitHub. You also mentioned to send it to guix-devel@gnu.org, which format do you prefer? Regards, HS On 02/09/17 17:04, Christopher Baines wrote
