Hi guix, I was wondering if the url we use for the origin of libelf is still valid. I tried curl and it redirected to an unresolved address. Looks like we have some substitutes on hydra, so it wasn’t such a problem. Just checking. - John

Re: X/GDM fails on linux 5.0.7 AMD Radeon RX 580 after system reconfigure

Are you using GuixSD or Guix on top of another distro? It seemed to me that when my caches were empty the first application I'd run would cause the shaders to be rebuilt with whatever version of llvm that application was built with. And it also seems that the issue goes both ways, so if you run an

Re: gold linker and collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld'

The tests are looking for gold. That *is* the problem. You can build ldc with ld, but the ldc compiler is looking for gold. When you make gold available at test time it will work. Pj. On Sat, May 25, 2019 at 06:35:37PM +0200, Pierre Neidhardt wrote: > Alright, this works now. > > I'm using Pjotr

Hey Hey! Thanks for the compliments to everyone :) Working with Paul during the last months has been great and Gábor, Björn, Ricardo and Ludo had played a very important role while I was an intern too ;) . And also some Guix folks. Ok, let's keep the 3 min constraint for future videos and maybe

Re: Add helper for .desktop file creation?

Just thought of maybe the best of both approaches: use a #:rest argument to iterate over all keys. This way we don't allow unspecified keys (no risk for typos) and the code of the function remains lean. -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Re: gold linker and collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld'

Alright, this works now. I'm using Pjotr's patch https://gitlab.com/genenetwork/guix/commits/ldc-1.14-20190222/gnu/packages/dlang.scm to build ldc 1.14, but I hit the opposite issue of what was initially described in this post: - It does not seem to build against gold, it seems to use the regular

Re: Add helper for .desktop file creation?

Hi, I agree that it would be nice to have such a helper function. But we should also report a bug upstream for the affected packages. Not having a desktop file means that a normal user (TM) can't start the program. I'd say that's a pretty bad bug. As a stopgap, we can work around it, but it mak

Thanks for the feedback! You are absolutely right, my initial implementation is not ready for merge, but it's already useful as a proof of concept. Would you happen to know where this is implemented in Nix? Otherwise I'll look at the doc you've linked. Or... I'm thinking we could do even better:

Let's merge staging!

Hello! The staging branch has been accumulating updates for a while now. We have Mesa 19, Sphinx 2.0, GStreamer 1.16, ALSA 1.1.9, as well as some Python updates. See `git shortlog -n master..staging` for the scoop. I suggest we "freeze" (meaning no further updates, only bugfixes) this branch tom
