Hi, please, let's improve building and testing processes. Please, can we have the build servers send build failures to guix-devel instead of hoping that people check manually? I have other things to do in my life than to poll random servers every few hours. If you don't want to send e-mail on a

Hi, because I don't have another place to put this, here are some weird things I found while I was fixing basic Guix packages (for fixing bug #43513), which have nothing specifically to do with bug #43513: * curl[-minimal]: Needs (delete-file "tests/data/test1094") to fix a test failure: ;; "t

Trying to update Jami, patching pjproject fails

2020-10-07 Thread Jan Wielkiewicz
Hello Guix, I'm trying to update Jami to the latest version, but the 13th patch for pjproject fails. I can just comment that out, but that would be just a hack. Anyone knows why would it fail? It seems to work in upstream Jami, because I already tried several releases to make sure. I'm using the 2
