My 10-year-reproducibility paper will need edits to be understandable by a wider audience, but I also got this heartening opinion from someone familiar with #Guix:

“this is advanced reproducibility wizardry. […] See it as a proof of concept for future technology, which remains to be developed into something user-friendly.”

Let’s build that technology! :-)

#emergency #kexec: recovers all #IP addresses as well as #SSH host and user keys from the old system and kexecs into a new one - entirely in-memory

#Nix #NixOS #Linux

Really happy to see Brice, Danjela, and Raghav joining #GNU #Guix as #Outreachy and #GSoC interns!

It’s a nice #functionalprogramming puzzle that kept me thinking for while, and it’s probably not the end. Feedback welcome!

La Gueule de bois, ou comment déplier le monde autrement

#GNU #Guix 1.1.0 is out!
https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/gnu-guix-1.1.0-released/

14K commits by 201 people since the last release! It’s been a lot of work but I think it’s a beautiful release. :-)

Today, we discover the beauty of hyperlinks: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Using-the-Configuration-System.html . Yup, you can click on the #Guix symbols in code snippets to jump to their doc!

So there’s a #Guix release around the corner (it’s been around the corner for months, but we’ve never been this close!). Preparing a release means writing release notes. And that means extracting the highlights from… 14,045 commits. Ouch!

#Guix + #Hurd in a box: we did it! :-) https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/a-hello-world-virtual-machine-running-the-hurd/ @janneke

Was the April 1st post about Guix deprecating Linux for Hurd a joke? The answer is... half yes, and half no! https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/a-hello-world-virtual-machine-running-the-hurd/ https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/deprecating-support-for-the-linux-kernel/

autoconf magic I wish I knew about years ago: you can fetch data from pkgconfig files and store them in environment variables which you can then use to substitute into template files! this is *perfect* for automagically getting the absolute file names of shared libraries and I have 2 projects that will greatly benefit from this.

thanks to the guile-git configure.ac file: https://gitlab.com/guile-git/guile-git/-/blob/master/configure.ac#L39

Guix is getting Hurd support and hopes to make it the first-class option https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/deprecating-support-for-the-linux-kernel/

Hier, le record du nombre de contributeurs journalier à #OpenStreetMap a explosé : 401 !
