That sounds preferable, or maybe just avoid CHROOT_ENABLED altogether?

I’d rather not (Nix made this change, but that’s largely because OS X
has a similar feature called “sandbox”, so they used this name in the
code.)

I think that this should be part of the a rustc-bootstrap package. We
shouldn't export binaries to the user, but I think we need a fully
functional bootstrap compiler.

No, I found out that GNU make allows you to override variables used inside 
Makefiles from make's command line.

To test:

write a Makefile containing:

#-
PREFIX = /foo

all:
echo $(PREFIX)
#-

Then try

$ make PREFIX=/bar

.

It will override the variable.

I don’t know about the specifics of Python here, but it’s always a
security problem to put “.” in a search path: users could end up
arbitrary code that just happens to be in $PWD.

So it’s probably intended.

No idea.  I suppose we take this route:

  1. First you test a sample of ghc-* packages and build them to see if
 there’s obvious breakage.

  2. If not, we commit the GHC upgrade in a branch and let Hydra build
 the branch.

  3. We fix package breaks that we notice on the branch.

  4. Merge the branch.

How does that sound?

I split it in several patches and pushed part of this.

‘rottlog’ was looking for config files in OUT/etc, which made it
impossible for people to configure it.  So in commit
268ad34e0eadf8a015798b5c5587aad65b9f3a61 I changed it to look for
configuration files in /etc/rottlog.

Consequently, running “rottlog” alone won’t work; one has to provide
/etc/rottlog/{rc,daily} first.  We should have a GuixSD service that
does that.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

The package doesn't seem to be able to find all of the wayland libraries
it wants.

-- Found WAYLAND_CLIENT: 
/gnu/store/9jfrsgr6jw9hzqj81p3vn632m79x5gla-wayland-1.11.0/lib/libwayland-client.so

-- Could NOT find WAYLAND_EGL (missing:  WAYLAND_EGL_LIBRARIES)
-- Could NOT find WAYLAND (missing:  WAYLAND_LIBRARIES)

This results in it saying it can't find wayland.  Also, why not also
include wayland-protocols and dbus?

It’s part of Guix’s mission to build from source whenever that is
possible, which is the case here, AIUI.

We know from previous discussions that some compilers can no longer be
built from source; we already have exceptions for these.

I don’t see anything in nfs.scm explaining, for instance, the
‘warm-start?’ knob; nor is anything (and rightfully so) hinting at what
NFS is and how rpcbind relates to it.

I agree.  It’s often a good idea to (1) give context and relevant
cross-references in the doc, and (2) include an example for non-trivial
services.  For instance, I think the “Desktop Services” and “Scheduled
Job Execution” sections are doing pretty good in this regard.

Other than that, LGTM!

Regarding documentation, since you asked ;-), what could work well here
is to have a complete “Network File System” @subsection.  It would start
with a short intro of what NFS is, provide an example showing how to
export a directory over NFS, give an overview of the services involved
(rpcbind, mountd, statd), and then give the API reference.

Thoughts for future work.  :-)

Ah, yes configuration was the bit I was wondering about.  A service

Woow, quite an achievement!  Do you know how many of the automatically
generated packages built from source flawlessly?

IIRC, ‘guix import pypi’ currently produces templates that can require
extra tweaks, although that was improved by reading metadata from
Wheels.

How does sdist metadata differ from PyPI or Wheels metadata?  Is it
generally more complete, or of better quality?

That would be awesome!  Anything towards making the output of ‘guix
import’ work out of the box would be great.

That reminds me of the “recursive importer” that has been discussed a
few times and is currently implemented (but not in master yet) for the
CRAN and NPM importers.  Perhaps your work could be somehow integrated
to get a recursive PyPI/sdist importer?

An idea would be to automatically put all the imported packages into,
say, ~/.cache/guix/python, and add that to GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH.  Then we
could run “guix import pypi --update” to update it, or something like
that.

Thanks for sharing!

Guile 2.2 packages

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello!

The Guile 2.2 series is becoming a reality, so time has come to provide
packages built with/for Guile 2.2 (aka. 2.1, aka. ‘guile-next’).

Commit 947a5d47a50252cb0b87b78a8f83f274dec593e2 adds a
‘package-for-guile-2.2’ procedure similar in spirit to
‘package-with-python2’.  It provides a simple way to define 2.2-using
package variants, equivalent to:

  guix build something --with-input=guile=guile-next

You can install 2.0 and 2.2 variants of Guile packages side by side:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix package -p foo -i guile-minikanren guile2.2-minikanren 
guile guile-next
The following packages will be installed:
   guile-minikanren 20150424.e844d85
/gnu/store/xib2gmbs0pgy572c8k7a658kph76yjra-guile-minikanren-20150424.e844d85

/gnu/store/8y3cqkrqhg9v3f0cvzcrhv7fcq7rz2yz-guile2.2-minikanren-20150424.e844d85
   guile2.0.11  /gnu/store/95x5fxvcggyaa8ymjjgv5q0dnzkrign9-guile-2.0.11
   guile-next   2.1.3   
/gnu/store/kqq37w4xnl1q21g6vz93qq1rdb2y7ayc-guile-next-2.1.3

4 packages in profile
The following environment variable definitions may be needed:
   export PATH="foo/bin${PATH:+:}$PATH"
   export 
GUILE_LOAD_PATH="foo/share/guile/site/2.0${GUILE_LOAD_PATH:+:}$GUILE_LOAD_PATH"
   export 
GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH="foo/lib/guile/2.0/ccache:foo/share/guile/site/2.0${GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH:+:}$GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH"
   export 
GUILE_LOAD_PATH="foo/share/guile/site/2.2${GUILE_LOAD_PATH:+:}$GUILE_LOAD_PATH"
   export 
GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH="foo/lib/guile/2.2/ccache:foo/share/guile/site/2.2${GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH:+:}$GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH"
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

The main difficulty is that upstream build systems and some of our
recipes hard-code “/2.0” in the name of the module installation
directories.  I’ve fixed that in a few packages in the commits preceding
the one above.  I’m afraid there’s no simple automated way to fix that,
other than telling upstream developers to do the right thing.

Anyway, have fun!

This is very timely!  In a project that I’m working on I’ve just defined
guile-next versions of guile-json and guile-redis, both of which
hardcode “2.0” in a snippet.

Re: Guile 2.2 packages

[Danny Milosavljevic]

Hi Ludo,

does that mean we can fix guile-emacs?

I've just updated to the latest version that is in Guix and I get:

Throw to key system-error with args ("load-thunk-from-memory" "A" ("No such 
file or directory") (2))Threads explicit registering is not previously enabled.

The same problem existed some time in the past, too. It was because of such a 
2.0 vs. 2.2 module version mismatch.

Yes, I thought so too...I shared my findings to get more viewpoints on
this assertion and also on the validity of the source/binary metaphor
for npm packages.

I spent the weekend to attempt building `q' using the repository+version
= source package metaphor.  Because given the facts that

  * an npm package must specify a name and a version
  * an npm package may optionally list a source repository
  * an npm package may optionally lists devDependencies
  * using repository + the devDepencies you can build the installable
npm package

I also thought it would be nice to build as many packages as possible
from their repsository urls.  I encountered several small problems with
the importer (or with inconsistencies/breakages in npm packages) that I
fixed.

Quoting my earlier mail

   ... that resulted in over 6004 dependencies (using build systems
   grunt, gulp and node-gyp, listing 582 errors)

Finally, I became discouraged and Sunday night I added the --binary flag
to the importer, decided to taint the resulting package description
doing

  (arguments `(#:binary #t))

to enable breaking this enormous dependency chain.  How many more
package dependencies will result from the 582 packages that have import
problems?

Oh, please note that the `binary' or installable version of this `q'
package consists of two javascript files: q.js and query.js which are
identical to the ones in the `source' package.  The git repository
additionally has tests and documentation (and history).

Another example is the `http' package: it does not list a repository url
and the installable package is plain readable javascript.  Does the
source/binary metaphor apply here?

The `fibers' package comes with precompiled binaries for popular
platforms.  It also includes all C sources to build these binaries.  It
could be possible that some npm package has only minimalized javascript
(i.e.: can really be considered binary) but I haven't seen such a
package yet.

WDYT, do we have enough information to decide if building from `source'
the right metaphor?  Is it pracically feasible and does feasibilty have
any weight?  What's the next step I could take to help to bring `q' and
`http' (and the other 316 packages I need) into Guix?

Greetings,
Jan

Alice, Bob's brother

[Efraim Flashner]

I've been using the lightweight-desktop template for quite a while now
as a starting point for my own VM templates, and I've only now
discovered that Alice, on occasion, is Bob's brother.  Attached is a
patch correcting this.

It is a search path issue.

Does package-for-guile-2.2 take it into account?

Your E-mail contains:

The following environment variable definitions may be needed:
   export PATH="foo/bin${PATH:+:}$PATH"
   export 
GUILE_LOAD_PATH="foo/share/guile/site/2.0${GUILE_LOAD_PATH:+:}$GUILE_LOAD_PATH"
   export

   export

GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH="foo/lib/guile/2.2/ccache:foo/share/guile/site/2.2${GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH:+:}$GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH"

This is setting the same environment variables twice, overwriting them.

I get (for a long time already, so it's not breakage introduced by your commit 
here):

It does. I can do many things to make it temporarily work. But a normal user

[PATCH 0/1] Update curl replacement to 7.50.2

[Leo Famulari]

The curl project disclosed a bug, CVE-2016-7141 [0]:

---
libcurl built on top of NSS (Network Security Services) incorrectly re-used
client certificates if a certificate from file was used for one TLS connection
but no certificate set for a subsequent TLS connection.

While the symptoms are similar to CVE-2016-5420 (Re-using connection with wrong
client cert), this vulnerability was caused by an implementation detail of the
NSS backend in libcurl, which is orthogonal to the cause of CVE-2016-5420.
---

As far as I can tell, our curl package does not use NSS, but people who
use Guix as a source of free software source code (`guix build
--source`) may be vulnerable.

Hmm... or not really overwriting them. So it should work?

[PATCH 0/3] Add utox

[Erik Edrosa]

Hello guix,

These patches add utox, a lightweight client for tox, and it depedencies.
This was requested by ng0 to send to the mailing list.  One of the
issues I discovered was avatars were not working.  I will try to look 
into it when I have the chance.

If a user is able to build from source, shouldn't Guix be able to?  And
if neither can, how can we guarantee that the provided binary is even
free and actually corresponds to the given source?

From a software freedom perspective, the source code _is_ the
program.  If that is unworkable, then so is the software itself.
