Re: State of core-updates

[Kaelyn <kaelyn.alexi@protonmail.com>]

Hi,

On the topic of the state of core-updates, I wanted to mention two things affecting i686-linux builds (and by extension some x86_64 packages like wine64):

1) glib-networking has a 32-bit-only patch left over from the upgrade from 2.70.0 to 2.72.2, which does not apply against the newer version, and which seems unneeded. I just sent in https://issues.guix.gnu.org/62209 to fix the package.

2) libaio 0.3.113 does not build on core-updates, though the previous version 0.3.112 does. I'm not sure how to handle this one, as the failure is a compile error from one of the test cases:

gcc -Wall -Werror -I../src -g -O2 -DTEST_NAME=\"cases/23.t\" -o cases/23.p main.c ../src/libaio.a -lpthread
mkdir testdir
rm -f testdir/rofile
echo "test" >testdir/rofile
chmod 400 testdir/rofile
rm -f testdir/rwfile
rm -f testdir/wofile
echo "test" >testdir/rwfile
echo "test" >testdir/wofile
chmod 600 testdir/rwfile
chmod 200 testdir/wofile

P.S. For context, I hit the libaio error trying to build icecat (x86_64) on core-updates the other day; I hit the glib-networking error this morning trying to build wine, and then hit the libaio error again when retrying the wine (i686) build with my glib-networking change applied. The same build error affects both x86_64 and i686 builds of libaio.
