I'm very fond of the 9x15bold X font for work in the terminal. On Debian systems it's usually in the “xfonts” package. No such package exists in Guix. I checked, and none of the built xorg derivations on my system have the font. 

Does some package have it?

In debian it is in xfonts-base, in the subdirectory "misc". We have various
font packages in xorg.scm. I think you are looking for font-misc-misc.

Thank you, that's the package. 

However, as there's obviously no /usr/share/fonts... dir, how and where should I configure, so that X apps will now see the fonts os installed. 

I could probably play with fontdir in xorg.scm manually, but is that the place? Will it survive system reconfigures?

Yes, you can modify xorg.scm, and then reconfigure your GuixSD from
the modified sources.
But IMO the xserver.conf in xorg.scm is not in a good shape for customization.

Also you can install the fonts into user's profile, then do:
  xset +fp ~/.guix-profile/share/fonts/X11

Until the building errors are all fixed and it's merged with master, is there a way I can install it on GuixSD? How would, I do this? 

Or is the only way to git pull Guix, build it in GuixSD, and deploy from the branch there?

So maybe it's working... What I've done: 

wget http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/snapshot/wip-libreoffice.tar.gz
guix pull --url=file:///path/to/wip-libreoffice.tar.gz
guix package -i libreoffice

It's building now, apparently everything from source, so probably a long way to go... 

Let's see if it will put a unable libreoffice instance in the store...

Yeah, we should add parameters to allow users to specify the font
packages (and have a sane default, too.)

Would one of you like to propose a patch?

Please let us know how it goes.  If it builds and is usable, we should
merge it.

Well it did build indeed! And now I have a working LibreOffice in the 
store. Tested briefly, works without a hitch so far.

Unrelated, but maybe you could advise me as I'm just starting to study 
Guix deeply:

Have I somehow "poluted" the environment via the pull of the 
wip-libreoffice tar? I'm asking this as I see a different behavior now 
with `guix package -d' and `-i' for other packages now than before, and 
a lot of building from source. Also `# guix gc' will delete as garbage a 
derivation of tar, bzip2, and module-import, and `# guix pull' spends a 
long time building these from source. And thus in a circle.

What can I do about this?

Plus, as a regular user `guix pull' will not complete, even though as 
root it does, so the connection is not the issue:

I think this is just a random error, due to hydra being overloaded. Normally
you can try again and there is a good chance it will work.

That's what I thought as well, so I tried many times, and it always 
failed thus. Inbetween though I ran it as root and it went through no 
problems, so it doesn't look like hydra was overloaded at the time.

Like I said, some strange behavior in the rebuilding of tar, bzip2, and 
module-import at the time, so thought the pull of the wip branch messed 
the system up slightly.

Currently, what I did to try to fix this - wget downloaded guix-master 
tar and pulled that file. Went through, no more bad connection errors on 
hydra...

Now it's still running, rebuilding gcc from source and from what I 
caught it'll build glibc and linux-libre... Why?

That's why I'm hoping some expert might give me a hint as to what is 
going on...

What you've done is to roll back your Guix to the 4-month-old version of
Guix that the 'wip-libreoffice' branch was based on.

The proper way would be to use 'git' to rebase that branch on our
current master branch, and then use that.  "guix pull" can't do that.

That's probably because Hydra has long ago deleted the binaries from 4
months ago.

Thanks a lot for this confirmation Mark, I suspected something like this 
must have happened when I saw the sourcebuilding...

How best to proceed from here to:
- get back to current master
- keep the built libreoffice in the store

I had an idea that pulling the current master from the downloaded file 
will bring me forward again, but doesn't seem it happened - still 
building from source.

I don't use Guix from git, this is the GuixSD installed as a clean 
system from USB. Is there no other way now than to clone the git guix, 
build it an rebase? How will it interact with the GuixSD version of the 
tools? Isn't this going to lead to more conflicts? How do I insure the 
git guix will take precedende - just make sure to run local commands 
only from the git build directory?

Or would maybe now a system reconfigure bring me forward? What is the 
cleanest way?

A plain "guix pull", should bring you forward again, but now there's a
different problem: hydra.gnu.org is currently down.  Hopefully it'll be
back up soon.

After "guix pull", you'll also need to use "guix package -i" to bring
back the new versions of any packages you had installed while using the
wip-libreoffice branch.

Also, if you had run "guix system reconfigure" while you were on the
wip-libreoffice branch, then you should run that command again to get
back to the latest software.

If you want to merge two different branches of our git repository, then
'git' is the right tool for that job.

> How will it interact with the GuixSD version of the tools?

'guix pull' populates $HOME/.config/guix/latest (or
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/guix/latest if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set).  Other 'guix'
commands look in that directory and use the package descriptions found
there.

So, assumes your environment variables are set sanely, if you ran

  guix pull --url=file:///path/to/wip-libreoffice.tar.gz

as user 'foo', then only 'guix' commands run as user 'foo' will use
packages from the wip-libreoffice branch.  Other users running 'guix'
would not be affected.

When you run "/path/to/git/checkout/pre-inst-env guix ..." then it will
always use the package descriptions from the git checkout.  This is what
I *always* do.  In fact, to make this easier, I put this script in
~/bin/guix:

If you want to merge two different branches of our git repository, then
'git' is the right tool for that job.

I *always* do.  In fact, to make this easier, I put this script in
~/bin/guix:

#!/bin/sh

exec /home/mhw/guix/pre-inst-env guix "$@"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Also note that when 'pre-inst-env' is used, $HOME/.config/guix/latest is
always ignored, so anything you've done with 'guix pull' is irrelevant.

Actually hydra.gnu.org has been offline for about a day:

The FSF sysadmins have been working on it, so hopefully it’ll be back
real soon.

Excellent.  I think we must rebase this branch atop master, review the
changes, and merge it.

What do people think?  Anyone would like to do this?

Thanks,

I am not sure how "clean" the commits in this branch are; I always thought
it was just an experimental branch, and that we would take the resulting
libreoffice.scm and add it in a single commit.

I am willing to have a look at it during the weekend.

Great.  If the commits need to be combined or tweaked, let’s just
do that.

So, if I understand correctly, I'd make the git version, but not make 
install it. Then running `pre-inst-env guix' this will use definitions 
from the git pull...

What about the store? Should I configure it with --localstatedir set to 
/var when building the git version?

Yes, that's right.

Indeed, that is important.  You'll also need to pass
--with-libgcrypt-prefix=$(guix build libgcrypt | head -1)
