Guix seems to be a bit overly cautious about the filename lengths used in the test suite:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=guix&arch=amd64&ver=1.4.0%2B154709.ab1b557d8f3-1&stamp=1740103252&raw=1 make check-TESTS check-local make[5]: Entering directory '/build/reproducible-path/guix-1.4.0+154709.ab1b557d8f3' make[6]: Entering directory '/build/reproducible-path/guix-1.4.0+154709.ab1b557d8f3' ============================================================================ Testsuite summary for GNU Guix 1.4.0+154709.ab1b557d8f3 ============================================================================ # TOTAL: 0 # PASS: 0 # SKIP: 0 # XFAIL: 0 # FAIL: 0 # XPASS: 0 # ERROR: 0 ============================================================================ make[6]: Leaving directory '/build/reproducible-path/guix-1.4.0+154709.ab1b557d8f3' Cannot run tests because file name limits would be exceeded. Look for 'length' in the 'config.log' file for details. That is a base build path of only 55 characters. I managed to get it to build successfully by shortening it down to use a version that was only 49 characters total... but that leaves very little wiggle room... While that is an unusually long version number as part of the directory(it a version roughly based on the output of "git describe")... this seems likely to be a fairly arbitrary and unecessary length limit, at least with any reasonably modern filesystem... In another build performed where this check failed with 50 character build paths, I checked config.log: $ grep length config.log configure:7282: checking the length of the installed socket file name configure:7305: checking the length of the socket file name used in tests configure:7316: checking the length of a typical hash bang line configure:7328: checking the length of a hash bang line used in tests ac_cv_guix_hash_bang_length=73 ac_cv_guix_socket_file_name_length=30 ac_cv_guix_test_hash_bang_length=127 ac_cv_guix_test_socket_file_name_length=90 File name limits of 90 characters? Many store items are much longer than that! Why is this check implemented, and do we really still need it? :) live well, vagrant
