Hi Ludo,

> ‘guix pull’ will happily perform the transition.

For me, I have an older Guix (16th May) that fails to install guile-
gcrypt.  As root:

$ guix --version
guix (GNU Guix) 6f84dc4314cd84550d9fc7e7afa11c495edc45a5

When I try 'guix pull' there is an attempt to build guile-gcrypt
locally that fails with the message './configure:  No such file or
directory'.  I can see that the build procedure moves from the 'unpack'
phase straight to the 'patch-usr-bin-file' phase with no 'bootstrap'
phase in between.

Aha, another chicken-and-egg, I thought; my older Guix does not have a
'bootstrap' phase.  However, I can see that the commit for adding the
new phase was made on 11th March, so perhaps 'guix pull' is failing for
a different reason.

Maybe there is a workaround for this scenario.  WDYT?

Best regards,

Paul.

Hello Guix!

Coming soon: Guix will no longer provide its own crypto modules and will
instead depend on Guile-Gcrypt:

  https://issues.guix.info/issue/32606

‘guix pull’ will happily perform the transition.

If you’re used to working on a Git checkout with “guix environment
guix”, you’ll have to add ‘guile-gcrypt’ to the environment.  If your
“guix” is too old and lacks the ‘guile-gcrypt’ package, you have a
chicken-and-egg problem that you can solve either by running ‘guix pull’
or by running this from your checkout:

  $(make as-derivation)/bin/guix environment guix

or:

  $(make as-derivation)/bin/guix package -i guile-gcrypt

Besides, our friends at openSuSE have already created a ‘guile-gcrypt’
package.  :-)

Ludo’.
