[bug#43769] [PATCH 0/2] guix-install.sh: Minor first user-experience tweaks

[zimoun]

Dear,

These 2 patches are proposal for the point #1 and #3 in [1].  The errorin
patch 2/2 about 'nscd' should be turned into a simple warning and so adds:
WARN=[color WARN color] in orange, similarly to PASS and ERR.  WDYT?


[1]: <http://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/43744>


All the best,
simon

zimoun (2):
  guix-install.sh: Add symbolic links for supported shell completions.
  guix-install.sh: Check the daemon 'nscd' and suggest it.

If we must have a new interactive prompt in this series, this 
seems like the better place: we know enough about the host (init) 
system to auto-enable nscd on most of them, if the user so wishes.

In practice, you enable nscd by running ‘apt install nscd’ or similar,
and I think we cannot guess what the right command is.  WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Yeah, I have tried in an unsent yet v3 to ask and then try to start
the service depending on the init system if nscd is not running.  And
if it fails, ask to install it.  That's the best we can do, IMHO.
Maybe it is over engineering and a simple INFO/WARN is enough.  WDYT?

All the best,
simon

I agree: I was under the assumption that nscd is commonly 
installed as part of the base OS, but disabled by default at the 
init system level.  If that's not likely to be true, don't let's 
bother.

Zimoun 写道：

If the distro equivalent of ‘service start nscd’ works in the 
*common* case, I like it.  Otherwise a warning/suggestion to 
manually install & enable it is fine.

My general point was that guix-install.sh should do as much as it 
can with the information it already has ($INIT_SYS) and be 
consistent in using it, not that we start sniffing 
$LEGACY_PKG_MANAGER too :-)

Thanks for your work so far, Simon,

As said, I have tried somehting like this uglyness… but it’s wrong!  It
is overcomplicated and if the package is installed, then it is highly
probable that is running.  I mean 2 kind of users:

 - the noob as me: “Please install nscd” and the I do “aptitude install
   nscd” and my distro takes care of everything (start it etc.)
   
 - the control-freak: they knows what to do with the message “Please
   install nscd”.

And we can try to guess the distro… but again it is overcomplicated.


So it’s not useful.  A message is enough.  Please give a look at v3.

Thanks,
simon

[bug#43769] [PATCH v2 1/2] guix-install.sh: Add symbolic links for supported shell completions.

Zimoun,

Thanks!  Shell code always looks ugly to me, so LGTM if it works 
:-)

Nitpick: s/create/install/

Why bother the user with this?  We don't ask before installing 
/etc/profile.d/guix.sh, or enabling the daemon, and we shouldn't 
offer similar meaningless choices just for the sake of it.

Kind regards,

T G-R

Yeah, I think we can install completions without asking (but still
printing a line about it.)

Thanks,
Ludo’.

As we talked with nckx yesterday on IRC, from my point of view, it is
impolite to install stuff behind the user.  Well, to be concrete, I
suggest either: a) add a comment in the Warning Note in the manual
saying that /etc/profile.d and shell competitions will be installed or
b) ask a global question in guix-install.sh about these.  WDYT?
I do not have a strong opinion and the patch doing what you are both
suggesting is ready. ;-)

All the best,
simon

Like Tobias wrote, the script is already doing that.  (It’s also
widespread practice these days: favor ease of use and installation speed
over fine-grained user control.)

I think it’s fine to just drop the completion files in the right place:
it’s what users expect.  But we should still have an INFO line saying
these are being installed, as a matter of transparency.

Thanks,
