Why doesn't Guix build static libraries?

I noticed that many C and C++ libraries in Guix are built with the --disable-static option. Why are static libraries excluded from Guix?

GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH doesn't have priority over official guix packages

I have my own channel in a Git repository on my local computer. This is what I do to search and install packages from my own channel: $ cd /path/to/my-channel/ $ GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=. guix search 'mypackage' $ GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=. guix install 'mypackage' However, if there is a package with the

What should ~/.profile look like after running "guix pull"?

I installed GNU Guix 1.3.0 binary using the tarball downloaded from https://guix.gnu.org/download/ After the installation process, I added these lines to my ~/.profile: GUIX_PROFILE="$HOME/.guix-profile" [ -d "$GUIX_PROFILE" ] && \ . "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile" I recently ran

Am I allowed to make package requests?

What is GNU Guix's policy on package requests? I am able to package simple software (e.g. software with minimal dependencies that use the gnu-build-system), but some complicated software are too difficult for me. I know that something is too complicated when I look at how the package is built in

Re: 'guix deploy' installs old version of Guix on Digital Ocean

I found an existing bug report about this problem: "(gnu machine digital-ocean) installs old Guix" https://issues.guix.gnu.org/45835 (2021-01-13)

'guix deploy' installs old version of Guix on Digital Ocean

I am following this article to manage my Digital Ocean servers using 'guix deploy': https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/managing-servers-with-gnu-guix-a-tutorial/ However, I notice that the Digital Ocean deployment actually installs Guix version 1.0.1 (May 2019) instead of the latest version — 1.2.0

Re: cl-asdf: where is its asd file?

Re: cl-asdf: where is its asd file?

> Actually I find it normal that ASDF has no .asd file [...] I am new to Guix, so I'm not sure what's considered "normal" here. Guix is the only package manager I know that does not include an .asd file for ASDF. Nix's asdf includes an asd file. Debian and Ubuntu's cl-asdf includes an asd file.

cl-asdf: where is its asd file?

I have installed cl-asdf using `guix install cl-asdf`. The installation was successful. However, when I looked into the ~/.guix-profile/share/common-lisp/source/asdf/ directory, I only see one file: asdf.lisp. Is this normal? I was expecting to get an `asdf.asd` file as well. I am running Ubuntu
