Hi Guix,

this patch set adds a somewhat unusual importer.  Assume we have a file
"package.json" with the following contents:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
{
  "name": "hello",
  "version": "2.10",
  "source": {
    "method": "url-fetch",
    "uri": "mirror://gnu/hello/hello-2.10.tar.gz",
    "sha256": {
      "base32": "0ssi1wpaf7plaswqqjwigppsg5fyh99vdlb9kzl7c9lng89ndq1i"
    }
  }
  "build-system": "gnu",
  "home-page": "https://www.gnu.org/software/hello/",
  "synopsis": "Hello, GNU world: An example GNU package",
  "description": "It really works.",
  "license": "GPL-3.0+",
  "inputs": ["r-minimal@3", "ghc-pandoc", "samtools@0"]
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Let’s run the new “json” importer on this file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix import json package.json

(package
  (name "hello")
  (version "2.10")
  (source
    (origin
      (uri (string-append
             "mirror://gnu/hello/hello-2.10.tar.gz"))
      (method url-fetch)
      (sha256
        (base32
          "0ssi1wpaf7plaswqqjwigppsg5fyh99vdlb9kzl7c9lng89ndq1i"))))
  (build-system r-build-system)
  (inputs
    `(("r-minimal"
       ,(@ (gnu packages statistics) r-minimal))
      ("ghc-pandoc"
       ,(@ (gnu packages haskell) ghc-pandoc))
      ("samtools"
       ,(@ (gnu packages bioinformatics) samtools-0.1))))
  (home-page "https://www.gnu.org/software/hello/")
  (synopsis
    "Hello, GNU world: An example GNU package")
  (description "It really works.")
  (license gpl3+))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

What you don’t see here is that the JSON importer internally creates a
package object, which could already be built (e.g. from within the REPL)
— without having to write it to a file first and setting
GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH.

What is this good for?  Users could create simple Guix packages for
their own immature projects using a syntax that they may be more
familiar with and generate a proper Scheme package definition from it to
allow other people to install it.  For more complicated packages they
would, of course, be better served by using the usual Scheme syntax for
package definitions.

To make the importer behave like all other importers, we use the new
“package->code” procedure, which takes a package and generates the code,
which would create an equivalent package object when evaluated.

There are some minor problems with “package->code”, which are marked
with FIXME comments.  We probably shouldn’t print out “(@ (gnu packages
statistics) r-minimal)” and instead let “package->code” return two
values: the package code and a list of modules needed to evaluate it.

What do you think?  Terrible?  Exciting?  Both? *raises hand*

Documentation of this importer is missing because I’m not sure if this
is the best way of doing this.  Let’s discuss!

~~ Ricardo

  To: 28251

I have since made a couple of minor changes like adding a missing (guix
gexp) import, adding the new script to the MODULES in Makefile.am, and
adding a simple test for “data->guix-package”.

I also have a small patch to “guix build -f”; given a file ending on
“.json” it will parse the JSON and run “data->guix-package”.  I have
confirmed that this works for the “hello” package in JSON format.

If this looks like a good idea I’ll convert the recursive CRAN importer
to produce package objects; as a next step I’d extend “guix build” to
accept a “--via=IMPORTER” option, which would cause a package to be
imported and then built without requiring the manual work of writing or
generating a package definition in Scheme.  (Optionally, it could
generate the code that could be contributed to Guix.)

This is not meant to ever replace Scheme package definitions, but I
think it can make importers useful to users, not only developers.

Neat!

I wonder if we could further simplify the “source” part, like allowing
(maybe optionally) for:

  "source": "mirror://gnu…"

and then letting the importer download the thing and fill in the hash.
Likewise for a Git checkout:

  "git": { "commit": "cabba9e"; "url": "…" };

Thoughts?

> What do you think?  Terrible?  Exciting?  Both? *raises hand*

Both!  :-)

As discussed at the GHM, I don’t fully measure that, but it can probably
help us reach out to more people.

Thanks!

We’ll need tests for this.  :-)

I would move it to (guix import utils) or a new (guix import print)
module or similar (which will also allow us to use ‘factorize-uri’).  In
my mind, eventually all importers will produce a <package> object
directly, and so this will be a core part of the import machinery.
Since it’s not a crucial component, I would prefer to have it out of
(guix packages) though.

Not sure how to solve that; maybe we can ignore for now.

Like you wrote, it would be nice to also return a spec of modules in
scope, like:

  ((gnu packages r)
   ((guix licenses) #:prefix license:))

WDYT?

That way, we can eventually change ‘guix import’ to systematically print
both the ‘define-module’ clause and the package definition.

I think we should compare values with ‘eq?’ (usually we’re concerned
with pointer identity of records), and also use ‘module-for-each’ +
‘let/ec’ to avoid building a list for nothing, like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> (match (let/ec return
			      (module-for-each (lambda (sym var)
						 (if (eq? + (variable-ref var))
						     (return sym)
						     #f))
					       the-scm-module))
		       ((? symbol? sym) sym)
		       (_ #f))
$17 = +
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

> +  ;; Print either license variable name or the code for a license object

Nitpick: I’d rename all the ‘print-*’ procedures to ‘*->code’.

If we move this to (guix import …), we can no longer match on the
record, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing anyway.  :-)

‘match’!  :-)

This looks pretty cool already!

‘all-modules’ causes a directory traversal, so it should not be called
at the top level.  The solution is to turn these two things in a promise
or a thunk or probably an ‘mlambda’ thunk (depending on whether they are
expected to be called frequently.)

This should probably use ‘specification->package+output’ so that one can
use specs like “hwloc:lib”.

Though as discussed earlier, I’m unsure about exposing “url-fetch” and
co. in the spec that people write.

Maybe ‘alist->package’?

Okay, done.

That’s why I originally experimented with overriding the printer.  For
the purposes of a JSON importer, however, this really isn’t important.

I’ll leave this as a later improvement, but yes: I’ll add this at some
point.

Done.

I’ve implemented the other suggested changes and added some
documentation.  I’ll push it to master in a few minutes.

Thanks for the comments!

I have added support for a simple source string as in the first example.
I left the support for a direct translation of origin expressions
unchanged, because I’m not sure yet how to express this.

So, right now we can do either

  "source": "mirror://gnu/hello/hello-2.10.tar.gz",

or

  "source": {
    "method": "url-fetch",
    "uri": "mirror://gnu/hello/hello-2.10.tar.gz",
    "sha256": {
      "base32": "0ssi1wpaf7plaswqqjwigppsg5fyh99vdlb9kzl7c9lng89ndq1i"
    }
  }

I’m open to simplifying this further.  What do other people think?

That sounds good to me.

One important consideration is to have a format that is future-proof,
which is probably the case here.  We could perhaps add a
“format-version” field in the JSON input to be on the safe side, though
it would defeat the whole simplification.

(In other news, I’ve been considering the implementation of an
“upstream” importer, where “guix import upstream URL” would return a
package template as complete as possible.)

Thanks,
