Hi

Poetry is not building on ci.guix.gnu.org [1]. There is a pending patch 
[2] on the issue tracker. What is missing to apply this patch and how 
can I help?

Cheers,

I really hope someone responds to you, but in the meantime you could
set up your own copy of Guix. It's an elegant way to stop begging,
which I stopped doing because I find it demeaning.

More importantly, setting up your own Guix would allow you to test the
proposed patch set, which is quite large. After some time, you can
report your experience to the bug. That might provide a measure of
comfort to anyone who would like to help you but is deterred by the
fear of making a mistake. Reviewers have lives.

As a result, the adoption of the patch set becomes more likely.

An additional benefit is that you could pin your own branch to a
commit on master that works for you. For example, you could branch off
of my "prebuilt" branch. [1] It follows "master," but with a delay in
hope of maximizing substitute availability. I also try to sidestep
temporary or unresolved quirks like this one [2] which can make it
impossible to reconfigure your system or your home.

It may be a rational choice depending on your set of personal constraints.

All you have to do is fork my Guix mirror on Codeberg and checkout the
"prebuilt" branch. Please create a copy called "reza-experimental" and
apply the patch series above. Then push the branch to Codeberg.

Next, you would add your custom channel to your personal setup. Here
is how I do that with Guix Home. [3] Then do a 'guix pull
--disable-authentication --allow-downgrades' (potentially followed by
a 'rehash guix') and voilà, you are running your own copy of Guix!

Happy hacking & power to the people!
Felix

Hi Felix

Thanks for your reply.

I was not begging only posing a simple question. This is a 
misunderstanding on your side.

I already tested parts of the patch set, I was never at any point 
demanding the reviewers to work on this patch asap.

I'm playing with the idea of doing that for a while now, but I fear this 
adds another layer of complexity I'm not prepared to handle right now.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Cheers,
Reza

both contributors to that issue – John and me – are busy with other
things right now. That’s all.

My proposal in the python-team branch is rather intrusive and requires
a world rebuild. I wrote down what needs to be done here:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63139#23
Some of that work has been merged into the python-team branch already,
but I think the 3rd point is missing entirely and the 2nd one is not
properly tested yet.

Cheers,
Lars

Yes, it is a rather intrusive change of our python world, requiring
rebuilding of everything that uses python. As noted above, you can use
something like time-machine for older guix with working poetry or use
a local copy with those patches for a newer one. Either will likely
require some local rebuilding.

Anyway, yes, I was distracted with other matters but have just
finished merging mesa-updates which took a bit longer than expected.
I'm not expert on these more internal python and python packaging
matters, so help is welcome. I will work on reviving this next though.
