All these files have an associated ‘.sig’, an OpenPGP signature that you
can verify as explained at
<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Binary-Installation.html> [0].

Compared to RC1, this release candidate has seen minor improvements such
as fixes in the build system, improvements to the installation script
and the addition of the spice-vdagent service to the provided VM image.
The installation script can now automatically retrieve the required
OpenPGP keys.  The ISO images are no longer manually compressed, which
should make them easier to use.  The VM .qcow2 images are no longer
manually compressed with xz, as the qcow2 format used by 'guix system
image -t qcow2' is already compressed.  The 'wget' utility is now
included out of the box.  A locale warning problem was fixed.

You can help by:

  1. Testing the binary tarball on the distro of your choice.  You can
     download <https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/plain/etc/guix-install.sh?h=version-1.3.0&id=dde029147619cdee9956dfa053933f9a4e619b5d>.  Uncomment the
     ‘GNU_URL’ variable assignment that refers to alpha.gnu.org and it
     should pick up 1.3.0rc2 automatically.

  2. Testing the graphical installer of Guix System.

  3. Testing the VM image.

In any case, please report success, failure, and annoyances in this
thread.

Thanks to those who have provided feedback so far!  The planned release
date for v1.3.0 is this Monday, May 10th.

Thank you!

Maxim

I tested this on Debian x86_64, and it worked well. It's nice that it
offers to fetch the signing keys for the user.

Great!  Thanks for the report.  Note that for a quick install it's now
possible to do something like: yes | sudo ./guix-install.sh :-).

Thanks,

I also had a successful test on aarch64.

Thank you for preparing it!

I tested the binary installation using the guix-install.sh script for
1.3.0 (not the rc2 candidate, but the actual 1.3.0 release, which I
noticed was on the FTP server already).  I tested on powerpc64le-linux
and found no major issues; it worked as expected.

I did "guix pull" and "guix build hello".  To my surprise, I received a
substitute:

marusich@guixtestbed:~$ guix build hello
substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://ci.guix.gnu.org'... 100.0%
0.1 MB will be downloaded:
   /gnu/store/zcs3cj0mqixwng2ldf92haab2vkpsicb-hello-2.10

I guess something is building powerpc64le-linux substitutes?  I had
thought no substitutes would be available, but certainly it is not a
problem if substitutes are being built for powerpc64le-linux already.

I tried building from source on Debian 10 buster ppc64el.  It succeeded,
but "make check" reported one test failure.  It was in tests/go.scm:

Seems like an issue in code related to importing go packages.  I didn't
check if it was reported already.

The graciously provided POWER9 VM from OSUOSL is not yet hooked to the
CI (as a Cuirass worker), as you can see here [0].  I'm guessing the
little substitutes available are a side-effect of my initial testing
from Berlin directly, which can offload manually started builds to the
offload machines.

The go importer depends on a recent version of guile-lib (0.2.7), which
added a new #:strict argument to the HTML parser.  We should probably

No worries!  I've waited even longer in replying to you now, so we're

I tested this, and it works.  Thank you!  I can now build the release
(with this change) and run the tests (make check) successfully;
tests/go.scm is just omitted from the tests to run.

By chance, I noticed the following lines below what you added:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
if HAVE_GUILE_LIB
SCM_TESTS += tests/go.scm
endif

if BUILD_DAEMON_OFFLOAD
SCM_TESTS  += tests/offload.scm
else
EXTRA_DIST += tests/offload.scm
endif
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I guess that if we omit tests/go.scm from SCM_TESTS, it not only means
that the test won't be run, but it also means the test won't get
included in the tarball distribution ("make dist").  Is that right?  It
seems undesirable to omit this test from the distribution just because
the machine on which the distribution was built might have lacked the
library necessary to run the test.  Someone who builds Guix from the
distribution might actually have that library installed and thus be able
to run the test.  To ensure that this test always gets included in the
distribution, perhaps we should also add it to EXTRA_DIST like so:

Well observed!  Makes sense to me.  Feel free to push such change if you
haven't already.

Well observed!  I test with the following environment, with and without
guile-lib, and could confirm that the tests/go.scm file was missing from
the dist archive when guile-lib was not present.

There was a problem where these files had embedded file names:

I had not seen this issue and it'll need to be investigated.  For now I
disabled the check to get the dist archive produced.

Pushed with 0f853ab7731da4784a24cad7b08d6b9b633f5787.

These three files are installed by ‘autoreconf -i’ (unless already
present), and I’m afraid our automake/autoconf packages ship them with
those shebangs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ head -1 $(find $(guix build autoconf) -name config.guess)
#!/gnu/store/pwcp239kjf7lnj5i4lkdzcfcxwcfyk72-bash-minimal-5.0.16/bin/sh
$ head -1 $(find $(guix build autoconf) -name config.sub)
#!/gnu/store/pwcp239kjf7lnj5i4lkdzcfcxwcfyk72-bash-minimal-5.0.16/bin/sh
$ head -1 $(find $(guix build automake) -name install-sh)
#!/bin/sh
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So automake is good thanks to its ‘unpatch-shebangs’ phase (maybe your
‘install-sh’ file predates that fix?), but autoconf is not.  Reported!

Anyway, the simple solution is to manually edit those three files so
they read #!/bin/sh and you’ll be fine!

Thanks for reporting the issue :-).  It'll be one to fix before the
release.

Yep, the purpose of the test here was simply producing a dist archive to
see what was in so it was not critical, but it'll come back in the
picture as soon as we enter release mode :-).

Thanks,

Maxim
