@se7en Without any knowledge or context, my go-to solution would be to parallel-install Nix or Guix and try to get it working there. ;-)
-
What are you all working on today?
For me it's the same as always - coding and 3D. :)
-
@stigatle Same as "always" (since 2012, with some gaps). Code infrastructure in Python. I love it. Would love public and Free even more.
-
@stigatle My Big Idea for the moment, in case of Copious Spare Time, is using Nix/Guix+Hydra as an internal build system. Would rival Bazel.
-
@clacke Trisquel with custom repos and self-compiled libs
-
@se7en Not quite a meta-build system. A functional package system that already comes with its own CI-like has greater potential.
-
@clacke Well, I do have a minor dependency hell that I can't seem to resolve... I can't get Gnash, Wine, or libjpeg-turbo. Otherwise, it seems to work... Nit sure why it does this. The custom repos are needed though since the packages in the Trisquel repo are more out-of-date than Debian Stable. https://0x0.st/jGV.txt
-
To elaborate: Produce non-guix binaries (static or e.g. dynamic for LSB, possibly even mingw with DLL deps), but using #guix for env + deps.
-
@clacke did you mention Copious Spare Time? Can you enlighten me as to where to find this?
-
@clacke Guix seems nice, the first true GNU system. However it is broken at the moment.
-
@se7en @clacke Sounds like a GNU system, allright.
-
@mk@oracle.skilledtests.com @clacke I will also have a trailerful. Will trade for free-range eggs, home-made jam & chutney and as much donkey poo compost as you want
-
@mk It was partly sarcastic, partly that I may not find a new job immediately next year when leaving my current one (b/c moving countries).
-
@se7en Broken? I'm using it. I admit I haven't installed #GuixSD 0.11 from scratch.
-
@clacke It's beta and I heard things...Still, GNU Hurd is not done being developed (expected to reach production-ready in 2020) so since Hurd will be the kernel used for Guix, I asusme that Guix will not be finished until then. Right now it's using Linix-Libre, correct?
-
@se7en #Guix will be considered production-ready before the #Hurd. Using a GNU kernel is not an important use case.
-
That sounds like a real challenge. :)
-
Y'all know multiple other groups have shipped fast, free microkernels already, right? http://genode.org http://sel4.systems
-
@clacke wow, yet another country? Where to this time?
-
@mk Back to HK again.
-
@xj9 @se7en Yes. https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/history/port_to_another_microkernel.html
-
@xj9 @se7en Hurd is not the microkernel, Mach is "finished" to some extent. Hey, even OSX uses a version of it. Hurd is the services on it.
