Subject: bug#46849: ELPA packages are fetched from unstable url -> not reproducible
Date: Mon, 01 Mar 2021 14:15:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1614603812.pcr83awkcn.jorsn@jorsn.eu> (raw)
Hey Guixers,
i think guix makes the same mistake Nixpkgs make (at least when I looked up
what guix is doing around two weeks ago):
They fetch the uncompressed tars built by ELPA.
These are only available for the newest version of a package.
ELPA keeps compressed archives only of around 20 hand-selected versions.
All package versions are kept in their git repo, which is a complete archive,
but there you must somehow extract the commit hash of a version.
Details are here:
- https://github.com/ttuegel/emacs2nix/issues/55
- https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/110796
- https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=46441
I proposed possible solutions in the Nixpkgs issue.
Best,
Johannes
