\o/ First step of the integration of my #maven-build-system into #guix done. I now install maven and its dependencies in a maven repository. Next steps are adding the basic maven plugins, and the maven-build-system itself, then I'll send all these patches for review :)

My current work is available on this branch:

“Securing updates”: new post on the long ride towards authenticated #Git checkouts for '#guix pull'.

#GNU #Guix #Git #OpenPGP #security

Nice short (~16m) talk on build system security – trusting trust attacks, reproducible builds & bootstrappable builds.

@cwebber @janneke I also liked @mala's comment on HN about how Guix brings the GNU system together:

Everyone in and around Guix is doing amazing work, and I'm proud of that.

Guix Further Reduces Bootstrap Seed to 25%

You can now configure #Guix System to spawn a #GNU/#Hurd VM—a “childhurd”.

Thanks @janneke !

Worth a thousand words...

Intrepid @janneke did it again: #Hurd support in #Guix System!

Currently it’s available through cross-compiled VM images:

guix system disk-image --target=i586-pc-gnu --no-grafts \
gnu/system/examples/bare-hurd.tmpl

Woohoo! \o/

(Yeah currently you need ‘--no-grafts’ due to an obscure bug.)

New #emacs #blog post: "State of Emacs Lisp on Guile": https://emacsninja.com/posts/state-of-emacs-lisp-on-guile.html

#Guile is a #Scheme that gets a disproportionate amount of attention when mentioned with Emacs in a sentence. I'm sick of the occasional r/emacs or emacs-devel thread with little facts and much speculation, so here's some original research of what you can and can not do with Guile's Emacs Lisp implementation.

today I developed a #MirageOS unikernel which serves the contents of a git remote via HTTP(S), including let's encrypt certificate provisioning. A test instance is setup at https://test.nqsb.io -- code is at https://github.com/hannesm/unipi (includes various protocols: git, ssh, tls, http, acme). it is < 300 lines of application code :D and even provides HTTP cache headers (last-modified / etag) :D A webhook is available that fetches the git remote (to update the contents) :D

#GNU #Guix 1.1.0 is out!
https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/gnu-guix-1.1.0-released/

14K commits by 201 people since the last release! It’s been a lot of work but I think it’s a beautiful release. :-)

Another day, another #GNU #Guix release candidate: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-04/msg00224.html Feedback welcome!

Today, we discover the beauty of hyperlinks: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Using-the-Configuration-System.html . Yup, you can click on the #Guix symbols in code snippets to jump to their doc!

#Guix + #Hurd in a box: we did it! :-) https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/a-hello-world-virtual-machine-running-the-hurd/ @janneke

#GNU #Guix to deprecate support for the Linux kernel: https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/deprecating-support-for-the-linux-kernel/ This is becoming possible thanks to the hard work put into supporting the #Hurd in Guix over the years!

Guix is getting Hurd support and hopes to make it the first-class option https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/deprecating-support-for-the-linux-kernel/

Tooting from #Emacs mastodon.el in #GNU #Guix. Neat!
