Planet Guix

Some merging and releasing has been done. So here we are.

We are happy to announce the release of GNU Mes 0.25!

Guix time-travel tricks: install any version of a Guix package

We spent the last months making MesCC able to compile TinyCC and making the result of that compilation able to compile TinyCC. Many cool problems appeared, this is the summary of our work.

Guix time-travel to guarantee reproducible dev environments

We’re excited to announce the First Workshop on Reproducible Software Environments for Research and High-Performance Computing (HPC), which will take place in Montpellier, France, on November 8–10th, 2023! The preliminary program is on-line, and now’s the time for you to register!

Now it’s time to focus on combining all the previous work and making it production ready. NlNet for the rescue, again.

Two weeks ago, on June 27th, we held an second on-line hackathon on reproducible research issues. This hackathon was a collaborative effort to bring GNU Guix to concrete examples inspired by contributions to the online journal ReScience C.

A core tenet of science is the ability to independently verify research results. When computations are involved, verifiability implies reproducibility: one should be able to re-run the computations to ensure they get the same results, at which point they may want to start experimenting with variants of the computational methods, feed it different data sets, and so on. This is the motivation behind our work on Guix: we want to empower scientists by providing a tool in support of reproducible computations and experimentation.

Static site generator is a program, which accepts text files as input and produces static web pages as output. It can be useful in various scenarios: for building blog, book, documentation, project or personal page for example.
