Hello,
here is the packaging of sinit, a minimalistic /sbin/init replacement.
It shows the use of the musl libc previously posted.
Please advise on how to further proceed with the submission,
where should I put this package, etc...
Thanks

Here is the accompanying patch for sinit to build properly under guix
It will be submitted alongside the scm modifs.
I may even try to make it upstream, as it's fairly straightforward...

DONE:

Dunno the responsiveness, so no ETA for an upstream release fixing this...

I noticed they replied with another suggestion:
http://lists.suckless.org/hackers/1607/11720.html
What happens if you set those variables in #:make-flags? There is an
example in (gnu packages dvtm).

This should just work, Vincent. See the 'ii' package I sent today.

D'oh !
It (#:make-flags?) was already there in the scm I submitted, but that
wasn't working when I tested it first time, maybe because I did not
know about guix environment at that time and tried the build it outside
of one...
I'll clean that up and resubmit properly...

Thanks. When you resubmit this could you please give it a try to send
it as a patch? If you’re using a git clone of the Guix repository you
can make a local commit (in a separate branch) and then run
git format-patch -1
to create a patch from the last commit. You could then attach the patch
file to an email (or use “git send-email …” if you already have email
sending configured on your machine).
This would make things a little easier for us and make it more likely
that your contribution is reviewed and merged sooner.
Thanks again!
~~ Ricardo

I'd like to test musl, but I would not know how to test sinit…
While I had this (musl) on my todo list as well, is sinit only limited
to musl? I guess it's not, but I don't know the software.
It would be best if the choice of libc was more dynamic.. uclibc-ng is
on my todo list for that. But I don't know how to approach this,
same goes for libressl v openssl situation.
Create lots of inheriting packages? Some packages require patches for
musl and libressl (outside of guix).
This is a bit affected by my experience in Gentoo where I dropped musl
only because I needed a "vanilla" environment for packaging (and feel
like not fixing musl problems in addition to maintaining packages).

I also don't know myself :-)
I know that just building it does not make it pid 1, that will be the next
thing to search...
Ideally, I'd like to make it pid 1, and getting it to just run shepherd on
top, that would be a good first step.

I don't think it is, I'll try to build it with glibc.
> It would be best if the choice of libc was more dynamic...
It would be cool to be able to do a full musl (or other libc) -based system,
but that is not my current goal. Just being able to build a few select
packages with another libc is already interesting.

That's orthogonal to the packaging of the libcs though, once they are there
maybe people will start experimenting with them.

I can certainly understand that
