Hello,
If the issue is simply that the patch has not been rebased
against a
new enough version of Guix to be merged, I am happy to do that
rebasing. Additionally, please correct me if I have made any
incorrect
assertions above.
It does seem that #55231 ended up in a place where there was
concensus that it was acceptable, but didn’t get merged for some
reason or other. I definitely could be wrong, but I suspect the
issue is that when non-#:substitutable? packages are used in
places other than package inputs, the downstream derivations don’t
carry that information. I believe when used as a package input,
non-#:substitutable? packages do, in fact, poison all downstream
derivations. Happy to be corrected if I’m wrong here.
I think it’s reasonable to merge this after it’s rebased on
current master, and would be willing to do that unless Maxime or
Ludo’ raise an objection.
However, you resent a v1 patch to a bug where four versions has
already been sent. If you’d be willing to resend as v5 (with `git
format-patch -v5 -2'), I can get it pushed.
Thanks,
-- Ian
