I'm presenting in the #riscv room at #fosdem , partly talking about bootstrapping and backporting riscv64 support to order versions of languages. Other than the #gentoo presentation after me I don't expect many people to realize how difficult some of it can be and I plan on using @janneke 's yogurt slide to help explain it.

@meena
I know of guile-hall which does a bunch of autotools magic for guile programs. It integrates nicely with Guix but I'd bet it works nicely without it too.

@jeko
I got to interact with guile hall just last night! I sent a patch to @cwebber for guile-goblins to adjust the guix.scm file to build everything and not need to run 'hall dist -x' first. Very cool software, and answered my question 'what do I do to package up some cool guile code I've written?'

I have an initial #riscv image for my HiFive Unmatched with #guix. I'm expecting it to fail but hopefully I can test it out later today.

@ekaitz_zarragaUsing the :Guix commands? That's great. It was mostly a do the commands work kind of test. I wasn't sure the terminal bits were correct.

@ekaitz_zarragahttps://gitlab.com/Efraim/guix.vim thanks!

I'm looking for a #guix user who also uses nvim to help me test guix.vim. I hacked together something which to me seems to work with the terminal but it's not my normal platform.

@ekaitz_zarragaSolved it! 'guix edit foo' calls '$EDITOR +<offset> /path/to/file'. I set VISUAL as echo and then ran 'execute('edit ' . <guix-edit-result>) and it now opens in a new buffer. I even got it working if you pass it multiple packages.

As far as neovim, I think I just need to check for the equivalent to 'terminal' and give the right command. ':Guix edit' should already work though.

@ekaitz_zarragaThere's a hint here, I haven't gotten it to work reliably yet inside the vim terminal. Then I'd need to set it as the EDITOR.https://dvtalk.me/2020/08/15/using-vim-terminal/

Guix.vim 0.2.0 released. Now you can :Guix all the things inside of vim.

Just don't use :Guix edit, you'll get vim inside the terminal inside vim.

@efraim I've posted on the mailinglist about my experience so-far with the #riscv port.https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-06/msg00037.html

I feel like I'm making good progress with #guix on #riscv. I've built Guix from source, I've created bootstrap-binaries to test out with. Running into some issues with the built-in downloader in the daemon but 'guix download' works so I can work around that for now. I'd better throw together a mailing list post before I get too much further.
