Planet Guix

We’ve got sidetracked, but it doesn’t really matter if we continue forward.

Guix package structure: inputs, native-inputs and propagated-inputs

tl;dr: If you use WireGuard, make sure NTP (or a similar time synchronisation mechanism) is set up on all VPN endpoints as the WireGuard protocol is sensitive to time-sync issues. Also, if you connect to a WireGuard server in an IPv6 network, make sure the server's firewall has sufficiently permissive ICMPv6 rules. Read on to find out why this is important.

We built GCC 4.6.4 with RISC-V support and C++ and all that in a Debian machine, in a VisionFive board. Here is how.

Rebuilding software five years later, how hard can it be? It can’t be that hard, especially when you pride yourself on having a tool that can travel in time and that does a good job at ensuring reproducible builds, right?

We are pleased to publish the sixth Guix-HPC annual report. Launched in 2017, Guix-HPC is a collaborative effort to bring reproducible software deployment to scientific workflows and high-performance computing (HPC). Guix-HPC builds upon the GNU Guix software deployment tool to empower HPC practitioners and scientists who need reliability, flexibility, and reproducibility; it aims to support Open Science and reproducible research.

How do you use Guix on HPC when your friendly HPC admins are uncooperative? This is the ultimate solution.

Today I’m excited to announce the launch of the new System Crafters Forum!
