Thanks

Looks like it might not be as serious, or rather - there have been latter developments that are trying to address it, and tbh my first comment wasn't really a well thought joke.

There has been some drama about both him getting banned from Freedesktop, and also general problems with harrassment/transphobia in his community, and especially his behavior when Code of Conduct to prevent/improve it was in the works.

I have not really dug down into the situation, it was mostly relayed to me by a friend who was using Hypraland, but from what I tried looking up, it seems to boil down to a few blog posts and videos about it.

But, I've also found a blog post that was trying to sort it out, so it might not be as bad as it may sound. Don't know how the situation turned out in the latter years, but at least there was an attempt. https://blog.vaxry.net/articles/2023-hyprlandCommunityChanges

This is news to me. Got links to elaborate?

Due to popular demand :) Maak is now also available as an experimental Docker container, from DockerHub (also compatible with Podman).

https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/jjba23/maak/general

You can also build images of maak yourself, using guix pack. See the maak.scm file for more. To load these tarball images, you can do podman load < my.tar.gz

Then you can run Maak from the container, and bind your local filesystem to give access, for example:

docker container run -v /home/joe:/home/joe
docker.io/jjba23/maak:latest maak -f /home/joe/hacking/maak/maak.scm --list

Hey all I have an experimental Docker/Podman build here, which you can take for a spin, it works well for me, I don't have any macOS devices to test on yet though, LMK.

Docker tarball hosted on 2 sites: https://limewire.com/d/IHVnx#Pz9q6EwDwL https://filebin.net/gevqik62yzwfxa8u/maak-docker.tar.gz

Once you downloaded this tarball, you can import it with docker load < my.tar.gz

Installing via Guix will always remain more convenient and powerful but docker/podman will work for cross-platform pretty good. Say for example you have a maak file with a task serve, at /home/joe/hacking/hygguile/maak.scm , you could run it as so:

docker container run -v /home/joe:/home/joe localhost/maak:latest maak -f /home/joe/hacking/hygguile/maak.scm serve

hey! yeah it is quite a similar idea, same gist of it , so you use the language directly to define your tasks. Though babashka does some more stuff, and is of course more mature

I’m curious how it compares to Babashka, which is a scripting/task runner tool in clojure that uses SCM (a clojure dialect).

Here how a CLI run looks like doing maak --list in a directory with a maak.scm file: https://postimg.cc/9wYTHBjQ

With the way hypraland creator and maintainer presents himself, I'm surprised it's not two lightning bolts.

haha good one 😂👍 you might be onto something actually

Looks cool, but I am disappointed that the logo of SSS is not a SSSsnake. 😀
