Hello guix!

In the following patches I:
- fixed current julia: I don't know how, the patch-url is missing
  ".patch" at the end, leading to a 404.  Don't know how it can build
  right now
- fixed the julia-SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH-mtime.patch: It's now a meta-patch,
  that creates the right patch file, so the current julia version is not
  patched, and precompile cache of packages installed with guix is
  broken.  Still no julia-package is in guix, that's why it went
  unnoticed
- Add libwhich (I added it to julia.scm but probably there's a better
  place for it)
- Update julia to latest release, v1.4.1.  I was finally able to
  unbundle the last pieces of bundled software (libwhich).  Now julia
  is based on llvm-8 (previously on llvm-6) and I measuread a speedup of
  ~17x on precompile times
- Add the first julia package, julia-compat.  If everything is fine, I'll
  then submit a big series of packages

Feedback welcome!

Nicolò

Does this fix the unreproducible behaviour of Julia? As described in
this bug [1] and discussed at length for v1.3.

Because my machine (of lockdown) is not enough powerful, I cannot
rebuild Julia v1.4.1 with the option '--check'.
Could you report the status on the reproducibility of Julia with this
new version?


BTW, thank you for this important update!
Hope to play with it soon.


Cheers,
simon

ps:
hope that your PhD defense was fine?

Unfortunately, not (actually not tested, but no changes were made from
1.4.0).  I've not received feedback on the long issue I opened [1], so I
think I'll propose one fix at a time hoping this way they'll eventually
merge them.

A new update that adds tests on julia packages and adding more packages
is coming.  Please, let me know if you have any package you use
day-by-day so that I can add them to verify everything works.

My Thesis has been accepted, but due to Covid-related emergency, my
defense has been planned for the last day of this month.

Thanks, Nicolò

guix build: error: derivation `/gnu/store/z21c12ijspavaclcins5pja8z1s8wbm0-julia-1.4.1.drv' may not be deterministic: output `/gnu/store/ri931fk8hf5wvagk76zhmwbphq2pwgnp-julia-1.4.1' differs from ?/gnu/store/ri931fk8hf5wvagk76zhmwbphq2pwgnp-julia-1.4.1-check?

I built it on bayfront twice. I'll get the diffoscope output once it
finally builds.

Thank you for the explanations.
And please report on guix-devel or on 22304@debuugs.gnu.org or
personally the status of your proposals.

BTW, in the meantime of an hypothetical merge, does it make sense to
add a reproducible Julia package using your unmerged patches?

(define-public julia-reproducible
  (package
    (inherit julia)
    (name "julia-reproducible")
    (... patches ...))

Nothing fancy.
When I am back to ideas of my previous job, I play with Krylov linear
solver stuff: LinearOperator.jl, IterativeSolvers.jl, Krylov.jl and
other.
Or time to time I am doing some experiments with Flux, FFTW, packages
in JuliaLinearAlgebra or JuliaMath.

Wish you all the best!
