Plan to stream about management of elixir projects with Guix in one hour and a half.

Will talk about transitive package management in general and why it's better not to package language-specific packages with Guix, will learn by example and clean up some tools we've made during the last month for Elixir in particular.

Hope the connection will be good (:

The owner of the camp near my tent updated network topology and there is great change that I'll be able to stream next week.

P.S. When I was making a post the internet went down ><

P.P.S. Oh, it's not only the internet, the whole elictricity network. (It seems it was planned outages and I still optimistic about possible stream soon).

Generated 69 guix package definitions from mix.lock. Spend the whole day (more than 10 hours) to make them successfully build.

Programming is cursed, I'm exhausted.

I have so many papers to read, but so little time to actually do.

Today I was writing elixir code the first time in my life, to convert mix.lock to json, for later processing and converting to guix package definitions.

One of the problems I faced is a lack of specification of lock file format.

I still have a few questions, but having sha256 in lock files is very promising. We will be able to generate package definitions for the whole project without accessing network.

I was using mix2nix as a foundation:

I wrote a note to reply @civodul's message, but I think it's a good reading about Reproducible Development Environments with Guix on its own.

Let me know what you think.

The tool for programmatically updating guix channels and package definitions in your project would make life so much easier.

Something like niv or flakes for nix.
https://github.com/nmattia/niv
https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes

Have it in my mind for months or even years.

Does anyone use #matrix #Synapse client in #guix?

RDE got 200 stars on github mirror, which is quite impressive considering the fact that all activities and development happens on sourcehut.

It seems a lot of fun happened at @fosdem, unfortunatelly my residence permit and visa stuff are still WIP, but I'm definetly getting closer to get Schengen, so I hope to start visiting conferences in person later this year.

It's possible to obtain source code via SSH instead of HTTPS in guix package definition by using git-checkout instead of origin.

Implemented arei-goto-module function, it allows to jump to any module available in Guile Runtime.

I think curiosity + such kind of tooling is what empowers hackery.

#guile #scheme #nrepl #arei #emacs #guix

A demonstration of arei-goto-module function. It jumps to guix discovery first, after that it jumps to gnu packages emacs-xyz.

Added arei-evaluate-buffer to emacs-arei (Guile IDE), it's bound to C-c C-k.

When Guix ABI updates, I need to do make clean-go make-go, it takes 47 minutes on my machine :/

Nice writeup by @drewdevault on DDoS, which caused SourceHut outages, how the team tried and managed to metigate it and migration to EU datacenters:

I have a good work-workout balance:

I do 1.5h call and go for a run to warm up my frozen fingers :)

BTW, do you know what you should use for Guile Development?

We got a contract for Guix consulting signed 🥳. We have a team of 3 people; over the next couple of weeks, we will be setting up a Reproducible Development Environment and Reproducible Infrastructure.

This week, we have already set up Guix, Guile, and development environments (except a few deps), along with a base OS image, and have deployed Cuirass (CI) using Guix deploy.

I try to review some rde patches in parallel, but I'm too exhausted. I'm really happy on what we do, but I overwork a bit.

I started to collect a "Guix in Production" list:

Do you know any other occurences?
