hi, I just joined the channel and guix. currently evaluating to build developer environments for work and personal use

otfrom14:01:55

I'm doing the same, but progressing slowly

Eugen14:01:16

have any work to share?

Eugen14:01:37

I started with making a package for babashka - binary build

Eugen14:01:45

just posted on #CLX41ASCS

Eugen14:01:45

yeah, no matter how easy the guix people make it sound, it's not - even if you do know lisp

Eugen14:01:00

I spent a few hours / days ?! waching youtube videos on guix - to get to know the technology

Eugen14:01:44

there are guix irc channels (I joined via Matrix - never liked IRC - no history, no threads - bleah )

Eugen14:01:51

there is nonguix

Eugen14:01:56

I plan to package binary stuff until I can get enough to do my day to day work

Eugen14:01:06

and then try for reproducible builds

otfrom15:01:29

I'd like to get a good emacs pgtk 29 latest package to start with

otfrom15:01:01

when I try to repoint the current emacs-next at the latest emacs-29 branch none of the native compilation works

Eugen15:01:28

not that advanced

Eugen15:01:47

and for emacs I can wait since I use only org mode

otfrom15:01:09

should be simple right? guix install emacs-next-pgtk --with-branch=emacs-next-pgtk=emacs-29 should do it

otfrom15:01:23

or rather, should be easy

otfrom15:01:41

I know my problem is PEBCAK. I just don't have the time to RTFM 😄

Eugen15:01:08

I'm new to guix so if you are hopeing for any help I will dissapoint

otfrom15:01:41

lol, same here really

otfrom14:01:58

nice to see a small example of how to do a package like that. I think my problem is I've been drowning in docs and not sure how to do a simple thing like that (there are some emacs things I need to do and I'd like more control over the clojure packages as well)

@drewverlee: this guy might have some hints: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=er2NaeoF3Ho&amp;ab_channel=AndrewTropin . He has some other videos on his channel that are worth watching IMO
