Hello.

This package adds ImHex using specifically commit
`ef7898ea8d83d0e3f4897c221f8595112aad9f2d`. This is done since from commit
`eae3cd99eef6202d772e3d2d43298449b7a36233` [1], the offline build enabled with
`-DIMHEX_OFFLINE_BUILD=ON` avoids running networking tests during the check
phase.

Thanks,
Sergio.

[bug#67755] [PATCH v2] gnu: Add imhex.

Hello!

I'm updating this patch since ImHex has been updated a few times since.

You will notice that the ImHex repository contains a few submodules, many of the
submodules are libraries which do not include a cmake 'Findxxx.cmake'. For some
libraries, the build system provides the appropriate file, but not for all. We
decided not to un-bundle the libraries for now, the maintainers will consider
adding the appropriate files in the future. Once that's done, we can update the
package and un-bundle the libraries.

[bug#67755] [PATCH] gnu: Add imhex.

[jgart via Guix-patches via]

Hi Sergio,

It looks like this patch still needs some work from the TODO comments.

Are you planning on resolving those TODO items soonish?

If you'd like to make this package easily available to others before its
ready for upstream I would recommend creating a channel for it.

all the best,

jgart

[Sergio Pastor Pérez]

Hi! Thanks for taking a look.

jgart <jgart@dismail.de> writes:

> Are you planning on resolving those TODO items soonish?

This is what I was explaining on the version 2 of the patch. It's not
something that should be fixed at the package level. I've discussed it
with the maintainers, until they don't implement a proper way of
externalizing the handling of libraries we should be using the
submodules.

Having said that, I think the package is ready, is there any reason why
you don't find it adequate, aside from the bundled libraries? We can
remove the comments if that's what worries you.

As a side note, I tried to un-bundle the libraries and the amount of
patching that it requires is unreasonable, every library requires it's
own CMAKE find file, which is responsibility of the software
developers. This is why I say that this should be done upstream.

I suggest to merge it as it is and I will update the package definition
once ImHex properly supports using system libraries. I don't think the
maintainers have this on their priority list so I don't know how long it
could take.

I will send a v3 of this patch without the comments and without the
redundant flags.

I have it already available on my channel.

Thanks for your time!
Have a good evening,
Sergio.

Hi!

I went ahead and unbundled all I could from the package. There are still
some vendored libraries that I think it's unreasonable to pacakge in
Guix, since they won't be useful for other packages. I added multiple
comments explaining why certain libraries remain bundled in the
package. You will see that, although I made Guix packages for most
libraries so they can be used by other users, for others I had to deploy
their source code in-tree. This is due to ImHex not supporting
unbundling them. After some discussions with the maintainers, the effort
required to refactor the build system to support a more modular
compilation, is out of the scope of the protect; the changes you see in
the following patches is the best I could do with a reasonable amount of
effort.

I hope this brings the package up to Guix's standards and
allows us to merge it.

Good night,
Sergio.
