I've run into a build issue with recent master on x86_64 and Loongson 3A (both hosted on Debian wheezy). Python 3 fails in the tests with "OSError: out of pty devices" and then the guix-daemon sometimes gets stuck in a sleeping state and hangs indefinitely. My Loongson 2F system, based on 1eefbb2693f0f29f8f095af9f067240b85e735aa with some cherry-picks and local patches, did not run into this problem. My guess is that a commit since 1eefbb2 broke things. Alternatively, maybe the difference is that my Loongson 2F is not based on Debian, but rather on my home-built custom system based on CLFS. For completeness, here are the patches I added to 1eefbb2, so the problem isn't in any of these: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 727c3ed * [mhw] gnu: pulseaudio: Increase timeouts for tests. b669aae * PRELIMINARY Rewrite union.scm. a633e16 * TEMPORARY HACK: Disable binary-substitute script. 9c717c8 * gnu: gnutls: Configure location of system-wide trust store. a44bec8 * PRELIMINARY Upgrade sqlite to 3.8.4, and apply large page size fi= x. b749814 * TEMPORARY HACK: Disable tests for gdb. 4f662d7 * daemon: Add tests for substitutes and --no-substitutes. df4775e * daemon: Clear $NIX_SUBSTITUTERS when passed '--no-substitutes'. 895905a * daemon: Change some options via 'settings.set'. 3e67ad4 * Add (guix svn-download). 59e7456 * gnu: gnu-pw-mgr: Fix download location. 4807dba * gnu: tcl: Install man pages in share/man. 5f156d1 * gnu: tor: Upgrade to 0.2.4.21. 1eefbb2 * [origin/core-updates] Merge branch 'master' into core-updates --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Beyond that, here are some things that I'd ideally like to get into 0.6: * New union.scm. * Fix more packages to install man pages in share/man: expect, lua, zip, pth, bazaar, ocaml, indent, netpbm. * Look into security updates for mutt, file, and libssh: file: https://github.com/file/file/commit/c0c0032b9e9eb57b91fefef905a3b01= 8bab492d9 mutt: Debian Security Advisory DSA-2874-1 libssh: Debian Security Advisory DSA-2879-1 Mark
