bug#74800: guix package lacks offloading capabilities (guile-ssh@0.18)

[Dariqq]

Hello,

I was trying the patch for https://issues.guix.gnu.org/74787 and was 
wondering why it didnt work for me.

The default guix package is currently built without the offloading/ssh 
support:

from the configure script:

checking whether Guile-SSH is available and recent enough... no


E.g. this recent build on ci.g.g.o: 
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/6971850/details

bug#74800: guix package lacks offloading capabilities (guile-ssh@0.18)

[Dariqq]

Running what the GUIX_CHECK_GUILE_SSH macro expands to with 
guile-ssh@0.18 yields


--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> (and (@ (ssh channel) channel-send-eof)
             (@ (ssh popen) open-remote-pipe)
             (@ (ssh dist node) node-eval)
             (@ (ssh auth) userauth-gssapi!)
             ((@ (ssh session) make-session) #:nodelay #t))

Woow, good catch.  Applied, thanks!

This Guile-SSH upgrade turned out to be trickier than expected.  :-)
