@civodul @jas I plan to package GitLab runner (a lot of #golang) in next cycle for #guix go-team

@civodul I would add - scheduled monthly refresh for particular collection (speaking as a precautioner of that approach for Astro Soft for at least 2y)

Good news #NumPy is built 1.23.2->1.24.4 with the latest #pytest and #MyPy, any other versions up to 1.26.4 could not be built without a higher level of wizardry.

#Pandas has been built on the latest version!

Fixing failing dependency to build #SciPy hoping to refresh it to the latest version when chaning packages are resolved.

70+ commits are in the queue for the python team in #Guix.

Oh Brave New World...

It might be useful for #guix teams to estimate impact after packages refresh.

A lot of #python for the last few days forced me to write some #guile #scheme #lisp 😆

@amszmidt I was always thinking that configuration language licenses can't affect platform:

Yaml and Ansible, k8s
JSON and Packer
Toml and Rust
Ini and Systems

Maybe I wrong 😕
