Awesome! Great work! I read the below draft blog post like a Harry Potter novel! It is superbly written. And it makes a lot of sense! Seriously good job on this blog post, and all involved in the pow
My plan was absolutely to merge master into core-updates after and then integrate all the changes into their affected packages. I'd also make sure to bump gcc to 8 (assuming we don't go straight to 9
Hi Efraim, It looks like you modified "gnu: glibc: Fix ldd path on powerpc" and "gnu: gcc-4.7: On powerpc64le, fix /lib64 references" to avoid changing the package definitions on other architectures.
Hi Léo, Yay, welcome on board! :-) Check out <https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Commit-Access.html> if you haven’t already and don’t hesitate to ask other committers when in doubt.
Hello! I sent a commit access application few days ago and it was approved! I am really happy that is the case! I've been working on PowerPC 64-bits support on and off on GNU Guix since 2 years as I
Hi, There's a problem with the following commit: The problem is in how the 'patch' program is invoked, here: [...] When invoking 'patch' in Guix, you should *always* use "--force" instead of "--batch
That also depends on how far you want to go. Last time I looked into how LibreCMC/OpenWRT did that, they had much more optimization than that. If I recall well, they use at least: - sstrip to strip b
Hello guixers! We are pleased to announce the release of the schedule for the first online Guix Day Conference on Sunday November, 22nd. This conference is open to everyone and will be held entirely
Hi Vagrant, Awesome! Let see how the popcon will increase. ;-) https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=guix Speaking about non-deterministic, do you know why --8<--cut here--start-->8-- Thu Nov 12 0
This! Is! Awesome! I think Guix in Debian could be huge and help both massively. Well, I've said so more than once in the past. I believe it! What's easy to package in one tends to be easy to package
Hi! Yay! Quite an achievement, thumbs up, party time! :-) Yes, there’s a phase that copies the bootstrap Guile tarball and the bootstrap executables (bash, mkdir, tar, and xz): https://git.savannah
It's been a long haul getting all the build dependencies of guix into Debian, but it has finally paid off: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/guix So now you can install guix from Debian's experimental d
Yes, I was actually able to run a 32-bit program on my Talos II. [user@staticvoid ~]$ file /gnu/store/mizksigsqgn3h4mvignqg8j8hjlwrbg3-hello-2.10/bin/hello /gnu/store/mizksigsqgn3h4mvignqg8j8hjlwrbg3
Good news! After looking at the changes in the code in glibc I believe I found a bug and Marius helped me on IRC work through some of the options. It looks like a variable was mis-initialized as -1,
I have an ongoing project to finish the port of Guix to 32-bit PowerPC and it looks like we're almost there. I ran into a snag with glibc-2.31 since it gave all sorts of problems on PPC but core-upda
I forget if I've replied, but I tried building hello using QEMU, and this was the failure: qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped g++: internal compiler error: Segmentatio

Hi, Vincent Legoll <address@hidden> skribis: I think such a page is bound to become outdated, so I’m reluctant to adding it. Also, supporting an architecture has a significant cost (software mainte
Hello, To accompany the upcoming release I think it would be cool to add an architecture porting status page on the web site. The info is actually scattered between blog posts, mailing list, IRC logs
