Hi, On the topic of the state of core-updates, I wanted to mention two things affecting i686-linux builds (and by extension some x86_64 packages like wine64):
1) glib-networking has a 32-bit-only patch left over from the upgrade from 2.70.0 to 2.72.2, which does not apply against the newer version, and which seems unneeded. I just sent in https://issues.guix.gnu.org/62209 to fix the package. 2) libaio 0.3.113 does not build on core-updates, though the previous version 0.3.112 does. I'm not sure how to handle this one, as the failure is a compile error from one of the test cases: gcc -Wall -Werror -I../src -g -O2 -DTEST_NAME=\"cases/23.t\" -o cases/23.p main.c ../src/libaio.a -lpthread mkdir testdir rm -f testdir/rofile echo "test" >testdir/rofile chmod 400 testdir/rofile rm -f testdir/rwfile rm -f testdir/wofile echo "test" >testdir/rwfile echo "test" >testdir/wofile chmod 600 testdir/rwfile chmod 200 testdir/wofile In file included from main.c:24: cases/23.t: In function ‘thrproc2’: cases/23.t:82:35: error: passing argument 2 of ‘splice’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] 82 | if (splice(tmpfd, &offset, pipefds[1], NULL, 1, 0) != 1) | ^~~~~~~ | | | off_t * {aka long int *} In file included from /gnu/store/0hr9jpczkcgpgqkhf4q4868xd57h5a62-glibc-2.35/include/bits/fcntl.h:61, from /gnu/store/0hr9jpczkcgpgqkhf4q4868xd57h5a62-glibc-2.35/include/fcntl.h:35, from main.c:9: /gnu/store/0hr9jpczkcgpgqkhf4q4868xd57h5a62-glibc-2.35/include/bits/fcntl-linux.h:398:49: note: expected ‘__off64_t *’ {aka ‘long long int *’} but argument is of type ‘off_t *’ {aka ‘long int *’} 398 | extern __ssize_t splice (int __fdin, __off64_t *__offin, int __fdout, | ~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~ In file included from main.c:24: cases/23.t: In function ‘thrproc3’: cases/23.t:106:35: error: passing argument 2 of ‘splice’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] 106 | if (splice(tmpfd, &offset, pipefds[1], NULL, 1, 0) != 1) | ^~~~~~~ | | | off_t * {aka long int *} In file included from /gnu/store/0hr9jpczkcgpgqkhf4q4868xd57h5a62-glibc-2.35/include/bits/fcntl.h:61, from /gnu/store/0hr9jpczkcgpgqkhf4q4868xd57h5a62-glibc-2.35/include/fcntl.h:35, from main.c:9: /gnu/store/0hr9jpczkcgpgqkhf4q4868xd57h5a62-glibc-2.35/include/bits/fcntl-linux.h:398:49: note: expected ‘__off64_t *’ {aka ‘long long int *’} but argument is of type ‘off_t *’ {aka ‘long int *’} 398 | extern __ssize_t splice (int __fdin, __off64_t *__offin, int __fdout, | ~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors make[1]: *** [Makefile:24: cases/23.p] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/guix-build-libaio-0.3.113.drv-0/libaio-0.3.113/harness' make: *** [Makefile:23: partcheck] Error 2 Test suite failed, dumping logs. error: in phase 'check': uncaught exception: %exception #<&invoke-error program: "make" arguments: ("partcheck" "-j" "12" "prefix=/gnu/store/xr6s773c3d62g9aynydp1h6231p42ixn-libaio-0.3.113" "CC=gcc") exit-status: 2 term-signal: #f stop-signal: #f> phase `check' failed after 0.3 seconds Cheers, Kaelyn P.S. For context, I hit the libaio error trying to build icecat (x86_64) on core-updates the other day; I hit the glib-networking error this morning trying to build wine, and then hit the libaio error again when retrying the wine (i686) build with my glib-networking change applied. The same build error affects both x86_64 and i686 builds of libaio.
