<p>I heard a "holy crap" somewhere in there, so I guess this show is explicit. That's about the level you can expect. :-)</p>
<p>I recorded this together with <a href="https://identi.ca/cwebber">@cwebber@identi.ca</a> over a year ago, on 2015-12-01. I told him I was hoping to get it out in time for FOSDEM. I didn't clarify which FOSDEM. :-D</p>
<p>So this thing has been lying around, and I've been polishing it and I've been thinking "man, 90 minutes is a bit rich for an HPR episode, I should edit this thing <em>at some point</em>". Procrastinator strikes again!</p>
<p>Well, that point never came in the course of one year, and HPR needs episodes, so this is what you get. I skipped around in it for QA reasons (audio sync) and I found that I wanted to listen to it again myself, so if your interests are anything like mine, I think it will be able to hold your attention. We had great fun recording it, and now that I've got it out of the gate, maybe I won't be ashamed to ask Chris to record another one about one of the many topics that came up during this show.</p>
<p>In the year since we recorded this, Guix has released versions 0.10.0, 0.11.0 and 0.12.0. It has functioning GNOME (based on Wingo's <a href="https://github.com/wingo/elogind">elogind</a>) and can boot from a LUKS-encrypted drive.</p>
<p>DMD, the Daemon-Managing Daemon that was at the core of GuixSD, is now <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/">Shepherd</a>, and still at the core of GuixSD.</p>
<p>Chris's project <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/8sync/">8Sync</a> is at version 0.2 and has a real GNU homepage (generated from S-expressions by <a href="https://haunt.dthompson.us/">Haunt</a>!) and Guile 2.2 is closer than ever. 8Sync 0.2 uses some experimental features available in Guile 2.1 snapshots.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/donate/">Guix</a> and <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/supporter/">Software Conservancy</a> still need your money (<a href="https://my.fsf.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&amp;id=50">The FSF accepts Bitcoin!</a>), and <a href="https://fosdem.org/">FOSDEM</a> is still, or again, around the corner. I won't be going there this year, though, due to scheduling conflicts.</p>
<p>On my latest laptop I'm running NixOS and it's running just great. My Guix VM on the other machine is no longer running Enlightenment, now that GNOME is ready. :-)</p>
<p>I haven't fixed clusterssh in either Nix nor Guix, but <a href="https://github.com/dennishafemann/tmux-cssh">tmux-cssh</a> works pretty great too!</p>
<p>Someone should still write <code>guix-bisect</code>!</p>
<p>GuixOps has been dormant during 2016, but as late as two months ago there was some <a href="https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-10/msg00838.html">slight movement on the mailing list</a>.</p>

<li>Actually there is a package manager for Guile called <a href="https://github.com/ijp/guildhall">guildhall</a>, but the latest commit was in 2015 (by Arne Bab, mentioned above!), and the trend to put Guile packages right into Guix seems to continue. There is also a generic Scheme package repository called <a href="https://snow-fort.org/pkg">Snow</a>, but it doesn't seem to support guile, at least not officially.</li>
