Subject: [PATCH] guix package: Add '--list
Cool. The diff looks great... but it lacks tests.
Yes, I wanted to finish the recutils part first.
I’ve been thinking about that, and I don’t like that we’d have to use
two record sets. It’d be necessary to post-process the output nearly
every time. Then why bother? We can already filter
I’d prefer clearer case analysis as shown above.
OK, what do you think about this diff? If everything is fine, I’ll make
it output generations in the recutils format.
(Is it necessary to mention that ‘maybe-comma-separated-integers’ accepts
something like ‘1,2,3,’ or ‘1,,,2’. Or should I
By definition submatches 1 and 2 exist when RES is true.
Thus, I’d remove ‘safe-match:substring-number’ and do:
(match (string-match ^([0-9]+)\\.\\.([0-9]+)$ str)
(#f #f)
(matches
(let ((start (number-string (match:substring matches 1)))
(end (number-string
Can I push this patch to ‘master’?

Subject: [PATCH] guix package: Rename generation-related procedures.

How can I subtract 22 days from (current-time) using SRFI-19?
Note that the above example suggests that ‘string-duration’ returns a
time object with of type ‘time-duration’ (thus independent of the
current time.)
Ah, OK. But we’ll have to subtract from (current-time) later anyway,
right?
I’m asking because if we do that, ‘--list-generations’ may just as well
print out *all* the generation records. Users who want to select only
less than one-month old generations can do that with ‘recsel’, and we
don’t have anything more to do.
WDYT?
I see recutils as an advanced option
I can confirm this bug on i686. The same happens with guix package
--no-substitutes -i gnupg. On x86-64, everything works as expected.
Does it mean that the daemon is the cause of the problem since the error
is platform-specific? Also, note this line:
The following derivations will be
I’ve already tried that:
$ ./pre-inst-env guix build -K -s mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 hello
[…]
ERROR: bootstrap binary not found tar mips64el-linux-gnuabi64
As I wrote, call it ‘mips64el-linux’, and put the binaries under the
directory of that name.
I did that but forgot to adjust ‘-s
I’ve just fixed a small bug [1]. Maybe we should agree to run
make distclean ./boostrap ./configure make make check
before pushing, or will it be too tedious?
Also, I don’t like the ‘license:’ prefix. What about something like
‘l:’? It’ll probably be even better to use ‘#:select’ when
In which command? guix build, guix package, guix-daemon?
‘guix build’ and ‘guix package’ when ‘guix-daemon’ runs without
‘--no-substitutes’. (I was able to reproduce this on a different i686
machine.)
When the daemon uses the mentioned option, ‘guix build’ and ‘guix
package’ work as expected.
Oh indeed, using ‘-s’ was a good idea. Note that ‘guix build
bootstrap-tarballs’ is even faster to type.
Thanks.
Which Guile do I need? The stripped one, right?
The one that’s in the output of ‘guix build bootstrap-tarballs’ (I
forgot the name.)
Yep, the stripped one.
Can I download
• Guix must be usable with the old Guile 2.0.5, since that’s what some
distros provide. At the GHM I realized that some people had weird
bugs with that Guile, notably in the substituter. I fixed a couple
of bugs, but there may be others around.
So, to 2.0.5 users: please run ‘make
