Hi, thank you all very much for the help,
Thank you Andreas for your patch. I wasn't sure quite how to use it at
first, but after some looking I found out I could put it into a local
channel. So I made a file ~/my-channel/ruby.scm with contents
(define-module (ruby)
#:use-module (guix packages)
#:use-module (guix licenses)
#:use-module (guix download)
#:use-module (guix utils)
#:use-modules (gnu packages ruby))
<the contents of your patch here>
That worked well.
guix shell ruby@3.3 # fails as expected
guix shell -L ~/guix-scout ruby@3.3 # works
ruby --version
ruby 3.3.3 (2024-06-12 revision f1c7b6f435) [x86_64-linux]
However I wanted to have a more sophisticated guix shell, called from
a file. Something like what Remco suggested, but this was just what I
could cobble together and it isn't exactly the same.
The file guix.scm contains (by the way, why is the use-modules syntax
different here?)
(use-modules (guix packages)
(guix download)
(guix utils)
(guix build-system ruby)
(ruby))
(package
(name "my-project")
(version "1.0.0")
(license #f)
(source #f)
(build-system ruby-build-system) ; "no build system" was not an option
(propagated-inputs (list ruby-3.3))
(synopsis "")
(description "")
(homepage ""))
Now I become confused:
guix shell -L ~/my-channel -D -f guix.scm # works, as expected
ruby --version
ruby 3.1.4p223 (2023-03-30 revision 957bb7cb81) [x86_64-linux]
# this is *not* the host ruby:
exit
ruby --version
ruby 2.7.8p225 (2023-03-30 revision 1fd455848) [x86_64-linux]
I don't know where it is getting 3.1.4 from! I have not written it
anywhere. I do recognise it - I think I have previously installed it
at some point. But I don't know where it's being pulled from - some
cache? It looks like Remco's approach using manifests should work, but
I wonder: does anyone know what's wrong with my guix.scm?
Best wishes,
Dan
