Hello Guix!

This patch series aims to improve tooling for package upgrades:

  • By adding a ‘--dependents’ option to ‘guix build’ to build
    dependent packages (those returned by ‘guix refresh -l’).  This
    was suggested by my colleague Romain Garbage, who also prototyped
    a variant of this.

  • By improving individual updaters and updating metadata for
    some packages.

  • By adding an “upgrade manifest”, to automatically build the latest
    version (using the ‘with-latest’ package transformation) of a few
    security-critical packages along with their dependents at distance 2,
    as well as some of the leaf packages.

The goal is to use this upgrade manifest for a new jobset on ci.guix.
The idea is that when someone tries to upgrade one of these things,
chances are it will have been built already.

I already toyed with this idea here:

  https://guix.bordeaux.inria.fr/jobset/guix-hpc-cutting-edge
  https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/guix-hpc/-/blob/master/cutting-edge.manifest?ref_type=heads

It’s experimental; surely we’ll find that the manifest needs to be
tweaked, or that some of the updaters abort to early.  But I think
it can help, and it’s a good way to use available x86_64 CPU power
at ci.guix.

According to a recent discussion with Nix hackers on Mastodon¹, mere
substitute availability is not perceived as a key factor in what
enables them to keep Nixpkgs up-to-date; the primary factor appears
to be the bot that sends patches updating packages.

Food for thought!
