[bug#74892] [PATCH 0/9] Depending on 'git-minimal/pinned' where appropriate

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Python team & co.!

It’s a problem that too many things depend on ‘git’ and
‘git-minimal’: it makes upgrades of these packages very
expensive to build and test, which in turn means they’re
too rarely upgraded¹.

This patch series tries to fix the main cases where packages
should depend on ‘git-minimal/pinned’ instead.

After this change ‘guix refresh -l git-minimal git’ reports
587 dependents, compared to 3.5K before (and 1K before the
recent ‘python-team’ merge).

Thoughts?

Ludo’.

Thanks.  I was considering pushing the whole thing to ‘master’, though
it involves ~3k rebuilds; the other option is to create a temporary
branch and jobset.  Thoughts?

The python-team branch just re-opened to fixup some of the python
breakages.  I think the python ones at least could go there.  I'm
guessing that'll take care of the ~3000 rebuilds.

Please also look at #70656 from Christopher Baines. One of his
proposed patches looks to have been the Python change noted above, two
are included here, and the fourth proposed patch (python-pbr) has an
outstanding question (that it is not included here might be the
answer).

Thanks for the heads-up, I had completely overlooked that other patch
series.

I don’t see why the python-pbr change couldn’t be included;
‘git-minimal/pinned’ is just an older version, it shouldn’t be a
problem.

I’ll add it to this series and see whether I can push it to
‘python-team’.

Thanks!

The python-team is rebased and contains some package fixtures
trigger k+ rebuilds, how about to push your patches to

Sure I can do that if there are plans to merge it in the coming days;
otherwise I think I’d rather merge it straight to ‘master’ sooner.

WDYT?

We'd like to merge python-team "soon", but we're still dealing with
pretty fundamental breakage (and I'm going to be away from keyboard for
a while starting next week), so I think it would be better for you to
push it straight to master when you see fit.
