Subject: Creating a guix build from source system afresh
Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2018 19:12:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180713171217.7tpa4sti6oaj7a5q@thebird.nl> (raw)
You may know that I do a build guix from guix generally which looks
like
env -i /bin/bash --login --noprofile --norc
guix environment guix --ad-hoc help2man git strace \ pkg-config less vim binutils coreutils grep guile guile-git guile-json gcc po4a guile-sqlite3
followed by configure, make etc.
(see https://gitlab.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/INSTALL.org#L564)
On one system - still on guix 0.12 - this won't work anymore - some
packages have disappeared. One thing I can try is create a nar archive
elsewhere of these tools (we don't happen to have a package for that?)
and bump that across.
Now I am doing this I realise it could be a great convenience for people
wanting to start building from source on a non-Guix system when we would
provide a guix pack. It would even allow Docker builds.
I think it is one of the missing links that people can not easily build Guix
from scratch.
But maybe this is just another dumb idea ;)
Pj.
