    Ok, I gotta ask:has anyone gotten OpenCL on AMDGPU working on #Guix ?I need it for some serious Blender stuff.I know it probably involves proprietary crap, which I hate, but I wanna use the hardware I already have.

    #Nix language with disjoint data types?https://www.tweag.io/blog/2020-10-22-nickel-open-sourcing/

    “All in all, the Nix language is a lazy JSON with functions.”

    “Indeed, static types can be seen as superflous in a configuration language: if your program is only run once on fixed inputs, any type error will be reported at run-time anyway.”

    “While the basic computational blocks are functions, the basic data blocks in Nickel are records”

    That was some of the rationale for #Guix. I see Nix/Guix convergence here!

    TIL about #GTK’s Broadway:

    guix environment --ad-hoc gtk+:bin -- broadwayd :1 gedit & icecat http://localhost:8081

    Tadaam: GTK+ app running in the browser! Impressive.

    (Though I’m more interested in having fewer “apps” in the browser.)

    Hat tip to Danny M. of #Guix.

    Linux #games stores/platforms should use #nix and/or #guix to package games instead of their own custom script solutions.

    That would allow * specifying custom Wine builds* pinning dependency versions* trivially maintaining and applying patches* creating wrappers and setup scripts* atomic upgrades with rollback* explicit and reproducible dependency resolution* maintaining your own easily shareable repos with custom packages and overrides* a platform/frontend-agnostic packaging solution (no need to use any particular GUI - can just manage your games with Nix/Guix directly)

    It would also contribute to the declarative package management revolution.

    Just look at this list: https://alternativeto.net/software/lutris/ - wouldn't it be great if those could all use the same packaging format and use/extend a common upstream repo?

    Guix is ahead of Nix in this: https://gitlab.com/guix-gaming-channels/games

    Intrepid @janneke did it again: #Hurd support in #Guix System!

    Currently it’s available through cross-compiled VM images:

    guix system disk-image --target=i586-pc-gnu --no-grafts \ gnu/system/examples/bare-hurd.tmpl

    Woohoo! \o/

    (Yeah currently you need ‘--no-grafts’ due to an obscure bug.)

    You can now configure #Guix System to spawn a #GNU/#Hurd VM—a “childhurd”.https://issues.guix.gnu.org/41785

    The #GNU #Guix package graph is now rooted in a further reduced set of binary seeds, at about 60 MiB it weighs 25% of what it used to

    How #bootstrappable is your distro?

    Read about the #Guix #ReproducibleResearch hackathon we held last week:https://hpc.guix.info/blog/2020/07/reproducible-research-hackathon-experience-report/

    The activity around the Guix Past channel, which has received a bunch of “new old packages”, shows the real need for practical software archeology in science—far from the bleeding edge that we hackers love. :-)

    Who hereabouts was a #Guix fan...?

    I’m trying to install tegaki-zinnia-traditional-chinese. For whatever reason it’s not in my regular repo. But it hangs at the build step and just sits there, revving the cpu to half. Should... I waited quite a while, but naught. Any idea how long it might take? I don’t want to leave hims thinking too hard overnight...

    Thanks.

    “Reproducible builds and deployments — this is the ambition that #nix proclaims for itself. This ambition comes, however, with a fine print: builds are reproducible only if the original source code still exists. Otherwise, Nix can’t download, build and deploy it.”

    *coughs* what about blobs in Nixpkgs?

    Nix’s usage of #SoftwareHeritage needs to be complemented with Blobs Heritage. #Guix needs only the former.

    @Nixfreak I'm keen to try, I have an extensive #nixos setup, I'm curious how would #guix compare
