core-updates: Emacs is only supported on x86_64-linux?

Hi, I've noticed that the emacs package only supports x86_64-linux, at least on core-updates. Is that intended? I noticed because it caused "make check" to fail on the wip-ppc64le branch (which is based on core-updates). I fixed one failing test on the wip-ppc64le branch by using coreutils inst

Re: Release on April 18th?

Hi Leo! Unfortunately, a package was added recently that depends on Qt 4 (telegram-desktop). Hopefully its dependency graph can be updated to use Qt 5. IIRC, telegram-desktop uses Qt5. Was it any of its dependencies? If so how can I narrow-it down using `guix graph`? I'll try to update it.

Adding Substitute Mirrors page to installer

Hi Guix Developers, I want to add a page to the installer to allow selection of substitute mirrors. In particular, from my ISP, the SJTU mirror is significantly faster (1MB/s->5MB/s) than directly from `ci.guix.gnu.org` (4kB/s->40kB/s), so I think putting that option to the installer would be

Implications of QEMU binfmt transparent emulation for builds

Hey, I'm starting to play with mixing native and emulated builds with the Guix Build Coordinator again. I did do this many months ago, but at that time, there wasn't support for targeting retries across a range of machines, to help avoid blockages due to QEMU issues. Anyway, something that's been

Re: Release on April 18th?

Leo Famulari 写道： Agreed. But I don't think we can force core-updates, or we will regret it when problems slip through. It's better to release on schedule without core-updates. I'll rebase my system on core-updates and report back (it can't be worse than master, where IceCat crashes about twi

Nginx and certbot cervices don't play well togther

Hello Guix, After an suggestion from Tobias to give a try at forcing HTTPS for Guix's websites on berlin, I had a go at it but it was more complex that what I was expecting. Looking deeper at nginx and certbot services it appear both services don't play that well together, requering a inital da
