We've updated netcat-openbsd package to 1.130 with all patches

Based on my discussion with the Stem maintainer, I removed pycrypto from
the dependency graph of OnionShare and added a comment about removing
the pycrypto package in 4de2a710a6a309a1601f1cf6fc15b9b638d3a3cb and
1194575b3c44969e4f68cd10a62e6ed8603e39b4, respectively.

Re: Per-package updaters?

Hi Ricardo,

Hi Guix,

we have a couple of generic package updaters (CPAN, CRAN, Bioconductor,
Github, GNU, etc), but they don’t nearly cover all of our packages.  I
wonder if we should add one-off updaters for individual packages that
don’t fall into any of the generic classes of updaters.

Another question is how to implement them.  Would there be another
optional field in package expressions containing a Guile script to run
to determine updates for the current package?

What are your opinions on this?
How about we piggy-back on the good work of others, by putting a 
declaration in the package definition that the package has sister 
packages in other package managers? This would involve a level of 
munging of the other packager's versions, but this seems not difficult 
for well disciplined numbering schemes.

pycrypto buffer overflow (potentially affects onionshare and other packages)

[Leo Famulari]

The pycrypto library contains at least one dangerous buffer overflow:

https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/issues/176

And the pycrypto project is inactive:

https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/issues/173

The list of our packages that use pycrypto:

python-axolotl-0.1.35
onionshare-0.9.2
python-flask-restful-swagger-0.19
python-swiftclient-2.6.0
jrnl-1.9.7

Is this application part of the direct/indirect dependency chain
of tahoe-lafs? If so, have you tried communicating with upstream
about this dependency? I think this additional information could
help people who want to pick up the package. Sorry if this was
already covered in the file itself, I haven't had the time to
read it yet.

I don't think this issue is fixed in a released version of libidn2.

I see some unreleased changes in an unofficial 3rd-party libidn2
repository that appear to address the problem:

https://gitlab.com/rockdaboot/libidn2/commit/1712c7188c367bb822aeb0a0f89735ebf4aa7d5a

Specifically, "** Add TR46 / UTS#46 support to API and idn2 utility."

I understand that to be the main blocker based on this curl discussion:

https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2016-11/0198.html

Am I missing something?

Which has since then be fixed and in a recent (not in 7.52.1
included) commit the --with-libidn2 option has been added.

My understanding of libidn2 is that there were problems with some
usecases. For example a domain name like bäcker.de would give
problems to applications such as curl. Of course this was months
ago, and I would not trust my memory on this.

Which bug?

In November 2016, the curl maintainers asked packagers to not link curl
with libidn or libidn2 at all, due to security issues:

Per-package updaters?

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi Guix,

we have a couple of generic package updaters (CPAN, CRAN, Bioconductor,
Github, GNU, etc), but they don’t nearly cover all of our packages.  I
wonder if we should add one-off updaters for individual packages that
don’t fall into any of the generic classes of updaters.

Another question is how to implement them.  Would there be another
optional field in package expressions containing a Guile script to run
to determine updates for the current package?

What are your opinions on this?

Misinterpretation on my side, and I forgot that I'm read-only on
that list. Is anyone up to date on libidn2 vs libidn, is version
2 now beyond the stage where it does not break anymore on

It seems as if curl can be build with libidn2 now and they have
addressed the bug which existed for a while. I will check with

Re: [PATCH 1/2] gnu: libmtp: Grant "audio" group access to device files.

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Chris Marusich  writes:

> * gnu/packages/libusb.scm (libmtp): Set udev group to "audio".
> ---

I just checked how it’s done on Debian and Fedora.  Neither pass this
configuration flag.  On a Fedora system I can access I see that the udev
rules that come with libmtp do not specify any group or mode.

This doesn’t mean that we should not do this, but it’s suspicious.
Maybe there’s something else we’re overlooking here?

I also think that using the “audio” group would be wrong.  This is for
MTP devices, so maybe it would be better to add an “mtp” group.

https://gmtp.sourceforge.io/usage.html says this about root:

Q. Do I need root access to use gMTP?
A. […] On Linux, in general No, as libmtp should have set your udev
   rules correctly for libmtp known devices.

And since neither Fedora nor Debian configures libmtp such that the
devices are owned by a particular group, I wonder if maybe that’s not
actually necessary.

Re: Ruby 2.4.0 update

[Ben Woodcroft]

Thanks Marius, an enjoyable xmas read of all the new features it was.


On 26/12/16 03:09, Marius Bakke wrote:

In good tradition, ruby made a new release today (25/12)[0].

I tried building some packages with the new version, but ruby-minitest
complains that Rake 12 is too new (even with the latest minitest). There
have been some core changes as well, with Fixnum and Bignum now merged
into a single Integer class.
I updated ruby-minitest to the newest version and pushed, but as you 
mention the check phase requires rake <12. This actually stems from hoe 
though rather than minitest, I've asked the devs about it here:

https://github.com/seattlerb/hoe/issues/77

I'm not sure that the Fixnum/Bignum changes are particularly harmful if 
I'm understanding correctly, since both classes can still be used. I 
can't see any possible backwards incompatibility.



I suggest that we keep ruby 2.3 as the main "ruby" variable until the
ecosystem catches up. Users will still get the latest version when
using `guix package` or `guix environment`. WDYT?
I would agree, but I'd hope that the hoe issue is an isolated one and 
that we can make ruby-2.4 the default very soon.


When we do such an update, I think we should make ruby inherit from 
ruby-2.3 as discussed previously. Also, what would you say to setting 
the "--jemalloc" configure flag for speed and compiling with gcc-5, both 
for speed?


Thanks, ben.

It would be ideal I think to add tests, and because they are failing it 
would be good to know why. I thought the easiest simply to ask the 
maintainers if they knew why the tests were failing:

https://github.com/ewels/MultiQC/issues/376

I also submitted the exception catching patch here, which we should add 
to our patch if we decide to keep it before pushing our changes.

https://github.com/ewels/MultiQC/pull/377

I figure it makes sense to give them a week or two to respond, and 
reevaluate after that. I presume you have not observed any problems 
using multiqc after this update?

Thanks,

[ANN] Emacs-Guix 0.2.1

[Alex Kost]

Hello, I have updated ‘emacs-guix’ package to 0.2.1.

It is released mainly to keep it in sync with the Guix release.
Particularly, it supports "d3js" graph backend (thanks Ricardo for
this graph type!) in "M-x guix G".

Also there is a new command – "M-x guix-about".  It displays a
"splash screen" similar to the Emacs one (that you can see by
pressing "C-h C-a").  Nothing useful there, just another opportunity
to look at the Guix(SD) logo (thanks to Luis Felipe López Acevedo
for the great logos!).

You may find the screenshot of "M-x guix-about" here:

Re: Re: [PATCH 2/2] gnu: multiqc: Update to 0.8.

[Ra]

Hi Ben,
thanks I will investigate. Does it mean that multiqc is in stand by for now
?

Duplicate dependencies in util-linux

[John Darrington]

When I run:  guix size util-linux | sort -n -k 3

I get:

store item   totalself
/gnu/store/a64w9dq219a8d9k4mfz76mnzph9wsvfj-zlib-1.2.8  61.3 
0.4   0.4%

/gnu/store/iwgi9001dmmihrjg4rqhd6pa6788prjw-glibc-2.24  38.3
36.8  40.6%


This seems odd to me:

1. Why does it depend on two different version of ncurses6.0 ?
2. Why does it depend on both bash-4.4.0 and bash-static-4.4 ?
