Re: [PATCH 01/13] gnu: subversion: Propagate env variables to hooks.
Eric Bavier ericbav...@gmail.com skribis: The culprit, I think, is a small difference in behavior of bash. If PATH is unset (such as within svn's hook environment), then `bash -c 'echo $PATH'` on an FHS system prints something like /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin, but Guix's bash prints /no-such-path. In the first case, `ls` will resolve to /bin/ls, but will not be found in the second. OK. The /no-such-path comes from the compile-time settings of our Bash, in (gnu packages bash). We could perhaps fix it to refer to Coreutils, but that’s a bit tricky. (Similarly, ‘getconf PATH’ with our libc returns something non-sensical, but I’m not sure what can be done about it.) Given that behavior, people have nothing to work around. Does Nix's bash behave differently? No. I'm not sure that our bash needs to be changed in any way. It's current behavior seems in line with Guix's way of things. Yes. I was able to get the tests to pass by simply patching the references to ls that libtool emits in its wrappers. I think this might be the way to go for now, Yes, sounds good. while also submitting a bug to libtool. I don’t think so. Often, the problem is when such scripts contain absolute file names, like /usr/bin/file, which we need to patch. This time they’re “doing it right”, so let’s not suggest the evil thing. :-) Thanks, Ludo’.

Root file system not cleanly unmounted
FYI, if you installed a system from 0.8, chances are that your root file system is not cleanly unmounted (from what ext4 recovers without any problems, but still.) This is fixed by commit 1c27641, so consider running ‘guix pull’ and ‘guix system reconfigure’. The bug probably appeared as a side-effect of commit cd4a3cb3. Basically, when rebooting, the devtmpfs file system on /dev would fail to be unmounted, thus preventing / itself to be properly unmounted. Thanks, Ludo’. PS: Thanks to David for raising it on IRC yesterday.
Re: Howto run guix.el correctly?
Ludovic Courtès (2014-11-24 23:42 +0300) wrote: Alex Kost alez...@gmail.com skribis: No need to fiddle with ‘geiser-scheme-dir’: it should be set properly if you have ‘(require 'geiser-install)’ in your emacs config. Oops, indeed, PEBKAC: I was just unaware of ‘geiser-install’, and everything was fine when I used Geiser from ELPA because that happens automagically. Yes, that's the point: if you install Emacs packages using the Emacs package system, everything should work out of the box. If a package is installed manually or with some distro's package manager, a user needs to figure out what he should put in his config to complete the installation. It would be nice if guix.el somehow had that works-out-of-the-box property when installing Emacs extensions. :-) As I wrote at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2014-08/msg00165.html, I see the only way to achieve that: - to modify emacs package recipes so that they will provide some files with all required initial configuration (and to name such file …-autoloads.el, for example); - to modify “guix-init.el” so that (require 'guix-init) will load those autoloads files; - to write some elisp code for auto-loading …-autoloads.el on the fly — i.e., to make it possible to install an Emacs package using guix.el and to use M-x package-command immediately. So if it's acceptable, what about modifying the current recipes step-by-step. With geiser it's easy: as geiser-install.el provides all required setup (including autoloads for M-x … commands), geiser-autoloads.el may just be a symlink to geiser-install.el. I'm attaching the patch for that. I'm going to send patch(es) for the elisp code later.

Re: [PATCH] gnu: Add Nmap.
taylanbayi...@gmail.com (Taylan Ulrich Bayırlı/Kammer) skribis: l...@gnu.org (Ludovic Courtès) writes: [...] The whole functional approach things means that bindings are static That's a neat analogy. :-) It’s not just an analogy, it’s really what happens. However, we needn't recompile C code when there's an update to some dynlang library the program uses, do we? Yes we do. Also, configure scripts that check for such dynlang libraries' presence might become a problem. I imagine one could provide some for-building version of said library that's merely of the same major version, to shut up the configure script, since it only gets in the way in this case. (Complaining about the lack of a run-time dependency, at build-time... Yes, above I said *not* doing this is probably a bug in Nmap's build process, but for us it would become an annoyance.) Alternatively, the script might simply take a flag telling it to enable a feature even if it can't find a run-time dependency; I don't how many configure scripts have this. Most of the time, packages check at configure-time whether their perquisites are available. Then, their test suite use these specific dependencies. Finally, in the case of DSOs, the RUNPATH makes sure that these specific dependencies are used at run time. Then there’s the case of dynamic languages with no RUNPATH equivalent. In that case we arrange with ‘propagated-inputs’ or with wrappers to make sure the “right” dependencies are used at run time. I’m not sure if that answers your concerns, does it? Same thing as above really. Until the ABI of a dylib changes, updates to it needn't ignite recompilation of C code which uses that lib; it won't affect the compiler output anyway. (Tell me if I'm technically wrong; not an expert on C compilation etc.) At the very least, the RUNPATH will be different. But then, keep in mind we’re aiming for complete reproducibility. So we can’t rely on things like “oh, developers say this version is ABI-compatible with the previous one.” It does sound like breaking functional purity, but is it really so when an input has *no* effect on a build process other than the test suite? That’s an important effect: it means that the test suite is known to work this particular input. Once the test suite is separated, the real package and for-building package become operationally equivalent under the given build process, so providing one in place of the other would be a correctness preserving optimization. :-) Yeah, I see where you’re going. :-) Eelco Dolstra’s PhD thesis on Nix had that idea of “equivalence classes”. It’s not very practical, though. In that case, we should already be able to do at least this, no? (The other ideas are sadly high up in the air.) It could have prevented world-rebuilds upon the bash security patches, for example. (Given it's acceptable to use a buggy (even security-holy) Bash for some ./configure scripts and the like, so long as it doesn't break specifically them.) See “Security Updates” in the manual for that. Runtime dependencies are found by scanning binaries for the hash parts of Nix store paths (such as r8vvq9kq…). This sounds risky, but it works extremely well. Perhaps we already do that? Yes. That means that run-time dependencies are a strict subset of build-time dependencies. I see. One confusion remains: wouldn't that mean it would drop a dependency such as the Python GTK module in our case, because its hash doesn't appear anywhere, and instead it's only referenced by module name which is expected to be in some Python load path at run-time? Correct. That’s why we’d either use ‘propagated-inputs’ or ‘wrap-program’, depending on the situation. I hope this clarifies things. So, where were we with this nmap patch? :-) Ludo’.

Re: [PATCH] gnu: Add Nmap.
l...@gnu.org (Ludovic Courtès) writes: [large snip] I hope this clarifies things. Yes! Thanks for your patience. It now dawns on me that our primary aim isn't byte-equal build process outputs (in terms of file contents); it's immutable run-time behavior of a package. That is to say, if /gnu/store/...-foo/bin/foo works fine today, it should work fine any day; it's unacceptable to let it load a different .so than its designated one, unless we define some very strict criteria for the .so and prove that a replacement satisfies them... Similarly for some Python module the program uses. I was chasing a reproducible builds red herring. That being said, I still think it's wasteful that C code gets recompiled when there's an update to a dynamic component. A rough idea for the future: save some intermediate build output (say from the 'build' phase), then when there's an update to a run-time component such as a DSO or dynlang module, make a new package that merely receives some tweaks to the saved intermediate output, such as fixing RUNPATH, re-patching shebang lines, etc. Users will still need to download these new packages; that in turn could be improved via binary diffs one day. So, where were we with this nmap patch? :-) Heh, indeed. I thought I'd wait for feedback from the Nmap ML but I guess that's not necessary. I'll continue working on it tomorrow. Taylan
