[bug#50274] [PATCH] guix: git: Adds feature to download git repository to the store.

[jgart via Guix-patches via]

From: Julien Lepiller <julien@lepiller.eu>

* guix/git.scm (download-git-to-store): Download Git repository from
URL at COMMIT to STORE, either under NAME or URL's basename if omitted.
Write progress reports to LOG.  RECURSIVE? has the same effect as the
same-named parameter of 'git-fetch'.

* guix/scripts/download.scm (download-git-to-store*): Adds cli option.
Examples:
guix download --git-commit=v0.1.1 github.com/anaseto/gruid-tcell
guix download -c v0.1.1 https://github.com/anaseto/gruid-tcell

[bug#50274] [PATCH] guix: git: Adds feature to download git repository to the store.

[Sarah Morgensen]

Hello,

Thanks for the patch!  I've been wanting a feature like this.  I haven't
tested your patch, but just reading it, I have a few comments...

These examples should probably be in the main commit message, not the
ChangeLog entry.

Your patch has a number of tabs in it; they should be converted to spaces.

You've defined uri but not used it anywhere.

Is there a reason for not using latest-repository-commit instead of
this?  That already takes care of temporary directories, ignores .git,
and reduces duplication if you download different tags from the same
repository:

  guix download -c v0.1.3 example.com/repo

  guix download -c v2.1.0 example.com/repo

This option exists, so it would make sense for

  guix download -c v0.1 example.com/repo -o ~/src/repo

to work as well.

> +  (format #t (G_ "
> +  -c, --git-commit=COMMIT
> +                         download a Git repository"))

Would it be possible to find a way to express this option so it wouldn't
conflict with potential other repositories (SVN, hg, etc)?

Maybe something like

  guix download --git -c v0.1 example.com/repo
  guix download --svn -c v0.1 example.com/repo

But in SVN, "revisions" are used instead of "commits," so perhaps
removing that terminology would be better.  We could do

  guix download --git example.com/repo v0.1
  guix download --svn example.com/repo v0.1

Or! We could use (fake) sub-commands like so:

  guix download git example.com/repo -c v0.1

This feels nice, since it matches e.g. 'guix import go'.  See
guix/import.scm for how this works.

You don't actually seem to use the download-git-to-store procedure you
wrote above.  An oversight?

> +                        (fetch (uri->string uri)

> +           (hash  (if (or (assq-ref opts 'recursive) commit)

The 'recursive' option is used here, but not specified in options or the
help message.  I'm also not sure what it's supposed to mean here.
'Recursive' would have no meaning outside of fetching a repo, and for
fetching a repo, 'recursive' should mean that the fetch is recursive,
and would be applied above.

Rather than special-casing repositories, perhaps you'd consider
incorporating the first 1-3 patches from [0]?  This would make it easier
to, say, add other repository formats later.  It would make all this
roughly

  (hash (and path
             (file-hash* path
                         #:algorithm
                         (assq-ref opts 'hash-algorithm))))

modulo error reporting, of course.

Please disregard this comment.  I read too fast and didn't catch that
git-fetch took the value of 'git-download-proc :)

No worries! :)

Hi Sarah,

I think Julien will send the patch with the tabs to spaces conversion later.

Thanks for the review.

Is this documented somewhere?  I'm not aware of such a rule.

I cannot find it explicitly stated anywhere, but etc/indent-code.el does
replace tabs with spaces:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
     ;; Indent all of FILE-NAME.
     (find-file file-name)
     (let ((indent-tabs-mode nil))
       (untabify (point-min) (point-max))
       (indent-region (point-min) (point-max))
       (save-buffer)
       (message "Done!")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So I assumed it's policy.  Perhaps the documentation should explicitly
note that spaces are Official Policy?

Can we use ‘latest-repository-commit’ instead?  The difference is that
it’ll populate ~/.cache/guix/checkouts, but I think that’s fine.

OTOH, if we want to make it easier to support other VCSes, we can choose
to not use (guix git) at all and instead use ‘git-fetch’ in (guix
git-download), ‘hg-fetch’ in (guix hg-download), etc.  This code would
go to (guix scripts hash).

WDYT?

For consistency with package transformation options, I’d call it
‘--commit’.  This option would still apply if/when other VCSes are
supported.

This would also need an update of the manual.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Would using 'git-fetch' mean that it's already in the store (and
therefore won't be redownloaded) when it's subsequently used in a
source?  That would be even better than latest-repository-commit!

(Presumably --with-commit and friends also use 'git-fetch'?)

Yes, you’re right.

> (Presumably --with-commit and friends also use 'git-fetch'?)

No, they use ‘latest-repository-commit’ (via <git-checkout>) because
it’s a case where you can’t use an <origin> because the content hash is
not known in advance (and the commit is also unknown when you use
‘--with-branch’).

Hello there!

I was wondering if this patch requires any more work or attention? If 
the patch/bug is stale, would it be okay if I continued working on it in 
order to get it merge ready? I was thinking about implementing something 
similar, and saw this ticket, so I thought I would ask.

Well, from my understanding, it remains some work:

 1. Rely on latest-repository-commit instead,
 2. Do not make it Git specific but open the door for other VCSes.

Do you want to give a try?
