Had around 150 people sign up for the newsletter after I sent out the announcement yesterday, exciting!
I'm will send out the first issue later today, sign up here if you want to receive it!

maybe this is a common thing but I'm struggling to code the #guix way, so it makes me stay away from contributing to anything but packages... it's like I understand the codebase and I can move around it pretty well but coding this way is hard for me... It's kind of a weird feeling
@willghatch That's a good reason for sure. I have a lot of tearing in my laptop :(
But I'm worried about wayland not having support for some programs and I don't want to fight against it (I already fight a lot against #Guix even if I love it)
Today I received the first payment for the Free and Open Source Software work. It's of course is not a sustainable business yet, but a good step towards.
Ask me anything.
“Reinstating an iconic error message”
https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2023/reinstating-an-iconic-error-message/
A proposed patch reinstates the “error in finalization thread: Success” that #Guix System users had come to rely on (and to have on stickers).
#GNU DNS has been intermittently failing for the past 24h.
#Guix users can work around it and get substitutes using ‘--substitute-urls=https://141.80.181.40’.
For upgrades, you can run: ‘guix pull --url=https://github.com/guix-mirror/guix’.
In both cases, this is safe: #Guix authenticates substitutes as well as code fetched from Git, and it flags downgrade attempts.

Guixters and Guilers in trouble ! 🦸
Tomorrow I’ll be presenting (remotely) my article at the ‹Programming› conference: “Building a Secure Software Supply Chain with GNU Guix”
https://2023.programming-conference.org/track/programming-2023-papers#program
Looking at the lineup, I’m a bit intimidated!
Hey, muchachada, hay una entrevista con @ekaitz_zarraga en el blog de @victorhck. Va de #Guix, programación funcional, software libre, y demás hackerío intergaláctico:
¿qué es GNU #Guix?
¿Un sistema de paquetería que puedo usar en mi distribución GNU/Linux?
¿Una distribución que ofrece #softwarelibre ?
Todo eso y más!!
Todo lo que siempre quisiste saber sobre GNU Guix y no sabías donde encontrarlo
@victorhck @podcastlinux ya habéis hablado de las bondades de usar un sistema como #GNU #Guix ? ;-)
Por mi parte, si os apetece...Sería un placer !
I just rediscovered daemons.el (‘emacs-daemons’ in Guix), and it’s pretty cool, especially combined with Guix Home.
With my #Guile hat on, I can tell you that being able to test complex setups in a single command is pretty cool. Example:
guix build guile-next --with-git-url=guile-next=$HOME/src/guile \
--with-branch=guile-next=main --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32
Those #Guix folks are doing a great job. 😇

#Guix gets a new ‘--with-version’ package transformation option, to deploy a specific package version straight from upstream!

I managed to find some more versions, I'm now building #kotlin 0.13.791 from August 2015:
0.12.470 -> 0.12.852 -> 0.12.1077 -> 0.12.1250 -> 0.13.177 -> 0.13.791
(0.13.795 is failing to build with 0.13.177, but it builds with 0.13.791, so I'll be able to continue the chain forward)
However, anything beyond 0.12.470 requires java-jansi, and although there is a #guix package, it doesn't work during the build, failing to find a native library it seems. I use a binary for now.
@ekaitz_zarraga There's a talk about #Zig + #Guile coming up in this year's #FOSDEM that you might find interesting. (Not about integrating Zig into #Guix, though):
#GNU #Guix 1.4.0 released! 🎉
https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2022/gnu-guix-1.4.0-released/
So many exciting things since 1.3.0, starting with ‘guix shell’ and Guix Home. Check it out!
Plus, it comes with cute artwork by @luis_felipe.
Thanks to the tireless work of @cbaines, the #Guix issue tracker at https://issues.guix.gnu.org now includes “QA” badges that link to https://qa.guix.gnu.org, showing whether patches apply, build, and add new packages that build fine.
This qa.guix.gnu.org automation is a game changer. 👍
💡 #Guix question: What do the checks that ‘--skip-checks’ skips check?
