There are some patches on the staging branch, including an update to the
time zone database.

What are the plans for the next week or so? Should we try merging the
staging branch in that timeframe?

Yes, let's start this in a few days, when Hydra calms down.  Perhaps we
can include the Java updates discussed in
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-02/msg00383.html> as
well.  Ricardo, WDYT?

I have a handful more updates in my queue and will try to get them done
by tomorrow.

Java currently only affects x86_64, so I'm not sure that it would need
to be staging specifically. In any case if we can get it merged within
the next week or so that'd be amazing. I know our cmake is in need of an
upgrade, maybe libva?

Are there any specific issues that would be fixed by a CMake update, or
is it just "too old"? I think that changes on the staging branch should
have a low probability of breaking things, so that we can finish the
branch quickly.

Could we stage things on the staging branch? Do a few updates now, merge
quickly, and then try to update only cmake in the next run?

I submitted a patchset for updating cmake a couple of weeks ago.

CMake is just old, not especially in need of updates. It would be nice
to ungraft stuff though.

I just meant to not switch cmake versions together with other things:

$ ./pre-inst-env guix refresh -l cmake
Building the following 1007 packages would ensure 2499 dependent packages are rebuilt

A lot depends on cmake, so we can expect some breakage, and mixing this with
other potential sources of breakage would make it more difficult to diagnose.

Works for me. Plus if we have a short staging cycle we can do it more
often¹.

Note that berlin is building master, core-updates (the ‘core’ subset of
packages), and staging right now.  The web interface isn’t very helpful
yet, but if it’s an option for you, you can use
‘M-x guix-hydra-latest-builds’ in Emacs, or just check the availability
of substitutes.

Unless something comes up, I'll start an evaluation of the staging
branch tomorrow.

I've requested a new evaluation of the staging branch on Hydra.

I didn’t have any time yet to check the Java updates, but they don’t
really affect many packages anyway (other than Java packages), so I
don’t think they’re all that critical.

I tend to agree. The whole jdk closure is about 200 packages.
Packages patched to work with java8 is on the order of 50, or so.

Even if 200 is too much, we can delay flipping the defaults. Then the
50 in need of individual patches can go in. WDYT?

Sure, I merged master into staging and started an evaluation of the

"mesa" failed the same test on both i686 and armhf:

https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/staging/mesa-17.0.4.i686-linux
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/staging/mesa-17.0.4.armhf-linux

Oddly, I'm not able to reproduce it when compiling on x86_64:

$ ./pre-inst-env guix build --system=i686-linux mesa
[...]
/gnu/store/kkpq84ki2ipjcn9nhywgm2ww9c5ddlaq-mesa-17.0.4

Can someone with a native machine get the "test-suite.log" of the
failing test?

I pushed a patch that should hopefully fix the "libsndfile" 1.0.28 armhf
failure. We should probably pick it to the graft on 'master' if it
works and staging drags out.

Looks like the queue was cancelled.

https://hydra.gnu.org/eval/109614?compare=master

Should we try to build out the remaining packages? There have been a few
large updates in 'master', might be useful to merge that first. Or just
go the other way around.. ;-)

Most likely the queue was paused to make way for the security-updates
jobset:

Yes, I cancelled the builds in 'staging' so that Hydra would focus on
rebuilding 'security-updates', whose patches have since been applied to
master.

Unfortunately, the recent 'imlib2' update rendered most of that
rebuilding obsolete, and now we need to rebuild the web browsers,
libreoffice, and Qt/KDE all over again.  Oh well.

Anyway, here's what I'd recommend: after the most important packages are
rebuilt on 'master', let's merge 'master' into 'staging' and start
another evaluation of 'staging'.

What do you think?

Bah... libreoffice is especially annoying since it's very expensive to
build but also has a huge dependency graph.

I just merged master into staging and started a new evaluation. Barring
any new complications, I plan to merge staging into master later today.
