Hello guix! After the longest week ever, I'm back. I had to power off my build server because is a bit noisy, and building llvm on a laptop is slow. Finally, I upgraded julia to 1.1.1 (even if 1.2 is already at rc2). I know inline patches are preferred but I don't have access to my email client right now. @Ludvic, as you asked, I placed the llvm-patches in an "origin" field, with 2 small helpers functions used to generate the url and the field. Let me know if this is better, hopefully julia will find its way into guix :) Many many thanks, and sorry again for the late response, Nicolò Il giorno lun 27 mag 2019 alle ore 20:06 Nicolò Balzarotti < anothersms@gmail.com> ha scritto: > Hi, thanks for the bump. > > Sure but in the meanwhile they upgraded to 1.1.1 .-. > > I promise I'll have a look again this week ;) > > Nicolò > > Il giorno lun 27 mag 2019 alle ore 14:27 Ludovic Courtès > ha scritto: > >> Hi Nicolò, >> >> Did you have a chance to look into it? >> >> Thanks, >> Ludo’. >> >> Ludovic Courtès skribis: >> >> > Hi Nicolò, >> > >> > Nicolò Balzarotti skribis: >> > >> >> One second problem regards the llvm patches.
