Subject: guix build--rounds=N does not behave as expected
Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2018 11:39:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d733e221-d0f3-a67e-c560-fa16a96887d0@riseup.net> (raw)

Hi

Today I took a look at 
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/packages/reproducibility.html

I then proceeded to try building some of the packages with issues.

I failed at first.

Why?
Because my goal was to build ONLY the offending package, not all of its 
build dependencies (specifying --no-substitutes results in the latter).

How?
$ guix build tor --rounds=2

egil@parabola:~$ guix build tor --rounds=2 --no-grafts
/gnu/store/7k793vhnv6mk6fhrg493gfby4lyy1107-tor-0.3.4.9

I tried also to specify --no-substitutes AFTER having run guix 
environment tor to make sure I had the substitutes of the build 
dependencies, but I failed anyway.

Did I misunderstand something?

Now it worked! I specified --check and --no-grafts and it began to do as 
I said.

I really think we should signal a helpful error to the user if only 
--rounds=N is specified and --check is missing.
