Nyctibius Griseus

Guix channel with personal software needs.

This channel is NOT meant to be consumed by the general public, although, nothing really stops you from using it. It contains various tools for personal use and nothing more.

PR's and Issues are ignored on the Read-Only mirror forges, thus, you are on your own if you install this channel from one of either Codeberg or Mocosoft GitHub.

News

The Guix team has accepted me into the MATE team. I take back my words and everything I've said as I was wrong and owe Guix an apology. I'll try to redeem myself by leaving MATE in pristine condition inside GUIX System.

This channel is not dead though. It will be used for early updates, if you need updates ASAP for some reason, this repository will get updates a week or two sooner than the main Guix repository

Workflow

Simplified but:

Nyctibius -- [test for one/two weeks] --> Open Merge Request in Guix

Upstreamed packages are removed from here until another update lands.

Usage

Organization members can refer the original forge's Wiki for the usage snippet.

The same goes for bug reports and package requests.

I don't care! I still want to use it!

Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you...

  1. Clone the repository from whatever mirror you are using. I'll assume your checkout will live at $HOME/src/nyctibius/
  2. Add the subscription snippet to your /etc/channels.scm or ~/.config/guix/channels.scm:
(channel
    (name 'nyctibius-local)
    (branch "stable")
    (url (string-append "file://"
                        (getenv "HOME") "/src/nyctibius")))

Features

The channel contains the following goodies

Latest MATE Desktop builds

Where possible I try to keep and maintain MATE Desktop software up to date and usable in this channel as this is for daily driving. You'll find here some missing components from GUIX:

  • mate-tweak
  • brisk-menu
  • ayatana indicator libraries
  • Linux Mint Icons

FreeFem Builds

I don't really update much or use this but I hope I can fix the build reproducibility issues and package this as a .appimage soon.

InfoSec Tools

Some InfoSec tools. Use at your own risk. I do not claim any responsibility for what you do with them.
