GNU Guix 0.7 released

2014-07-25 Thread Ludovic Courtès

We are pleased to announce the release of GNU Guix version 0.7,
representing 660 commits by 13 people over 4 months.

This release comes with the first image allowing the GNU operating system
to be installed from a USB stick.


• About

  GNU Guix is the functional package manager for the GNU system
  distribution.

  In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
  transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package
  management, per-user profiles, and garbage collection.  It also offers
  a declarative approach to operating system configuration management.
  Guix uses low-level mechanisms from the Nix package manager, with
  Guile Scheme programming interfaces.

  At this stage the GNU system can be used on an i686 or x86_64 machine.
  It is also possible to use Guix on top of an already installed
  GNU/Linux system, including on mips64el.

  This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
Autoconf 2.69
Automake 1.14.1
Makeinfo 5.2

  To install the complete GNU operating system, please see
  “System Installation” in the manual.


• Changes since version 0.6 (excerpt from the NEWS file)

  * Changes in 0.7 (since 0.6)
  ** Package management
  *** Binaries for mips64el-linux now available from hydra.gnu.org

  These come in addition to the x86_64-linux and i686-linux binaries already
  provided, thanks to our generous donor and friendly admins.  See
  “Substitutes” in the manual.

  *** ‘guix package’ has a new ‘--show’ option
  *** ‘guix refresh’ has a new ‘--list-dependent’ option

  ** Programming interfaces
  *** New (guix gexp) module, which implements “G-expressions”

  G-expressions are a new mechanism to embed build-side code in host-side
  code.  See “G-Expressions” in the manual.

  *** (gnu system) and related modules now use G-expressions

  This greatly simplifies code, and guarantees that build code carries
  references to the packages or derivations it uses.

  *** ‘build-expression->derivation’ is deprecated in favor of G-expressions
  *** The (gnu system) module has been largely augmented and factorized
  *** New (guix build vm) module, support for virtual machine images
  *** New (guix build activation) module, for “system activation”
  *** New (guix build syscalls) module
  *** New (guix build install) and module for whole system installation
  *** New (gnu system install) module, for the installation system
  *** New (gnu system file-systems) module, for ‘file-system’ declarations
  *** New (gnu) module, which aggregates common (gnu …) modules
  *** ‘service’ records now have an optional ‘activate’ field

  This allows services to specify code to run at system activation time.

  ** GNU distribution
  *** An image to install the GNU system from a USB stick is provided

  This is the first time an installation image is provided.  See “System
  Installation” in the manual for details.  This is work in progress as noted
  in “Limitations”.  Your feedback and help are welcome!

  *** Support for more parameters in ‘operating-system’ declarations

  Operating system declarations can now provide a list of file systems, a list
  of setuid programs, bootloader options, and more.  See “System Configuration”
  in the manual.

  *** ‘guix system’ supports more actions

  Newly supported actions are ‘init’, ‘build’, ‘reconfigure’, and ‘disk-image’.
  See “Invoking guix system” in the manual.

  *** User accounts and groups are created at system activation time
  *** Virtual machine support uses para-virtualized devices
  *** GCC package now has an additional ‘lib’ output, for run-time support libs
  *** GLib package now has a separate “bin” output ()
  *** 134 new packages

Argh, good catch.

Can you also add this in tests/guix-package.sh:

  # Make sure the recutils output is valid for all the packages.
  guix package --search "" > /dev/null

Emacs interface for Guix

2014-07-25 Thread Alex Kost

Hello,

I have questions about installing/deleting packages using guile repl.
I know it is possible to ‘(guix-package "--install" "guile-2.0.11")’,
but is there an easy way to install an output of an exact _package
object_?  I mean not any "guile" but #.

I think ‘(guix-package "--install-from-expression" ...)’ is also not
sufficient as it always (?) installs “out”.

If I understand correctly a lot of stuff should be done to perform
such actions properly: at first the new manifest is created from the
current one by adding/removing entries (created from packages) for
installation/deletion, then the derivations are built and symlinks are
updated.

There is a lot of code in “guix/scripts/package.scm” to do all that
stuff and unfortunately not much is exported from this module
(“package->manifest-entry” from “options->installable” would be very
useful for example), and I think trying to include this code in the
helper scheme file for guix.el is not right (besides my scheme foo is
weak and I'm not sure I can do that successfully) that's why I ask
about an easier way.

Thanks, Alex

This is correct.  (It could be worked around by adding a command-line
option to specify another output, but that just hadn’t seem very useful
so far.)

Well, you’ve already understood what needs to be done.  :-)

Namely, (guix scripts package) needs to be made more modular, and the
generic bits must be moved to (guix profiles).  Now that there’s a
second consumer for this API, there’s more of an incentive to do it.

I’m willing to help for that, but I’m happy if you give it a try.
WDYT?

Thanks,

Things to do for 0.8

2014-07-25 Thread Ludovic Courtès

Hi,

Here’s a brain dump listing items that I think should be worked on for
the next release:

  - ‘ungexp-native’ added, like ‘ungexp’, but to allow a gexp to
explicitly refer to a native package (in case of cross-compilation.)

  - Build system implementations converted to use gexps.

  - New package API, like ‘package-derivation’ but using gexps.  Some
packages converted to the new style.

  - guix.el integrated, with necessary refactorings done in (guix
profiles) and (guix scripts package).

  - In ‘operating-system’, support for dm-crypt and swap devices added
(among other things.)

  - Improved ‘slim-service’: users can choose among different kinds of
sessions, which requires .desktop files for slim to know about the
session types.

  - New service definitions, new packages, etc.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.
