setting up my own channel (for some personal packages)

setting up my own channel (for some personal packages)

[Andreas Reuleaux]

Hi,

I am trying to set up my own channel for some personal packages,
and I do have some success to that end, but I am still experiencing
issues:


TL;dr - short summary:

  my package: emacs-hide-comnt.scm (below) breaks my setup for "guix pull"
  (which otherwise works just fine without that package)
  my package emacs-hide-comnt.scm cannot be too bad either:
  I can build+install it just fine by hand.
  


I am following the guix guide, and have stolen two packages from

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
https://github.com/jsoo1/guix-channel
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

namely emacs-dump.scm (which provides my-emacs-dump), and
urweb.scm.

I have set up my own git repo (with just these two packages for now) at:


--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
http://git.a-rx.info/channel
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and (with a git-url) in my ~/.config/guix/channels.scm:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(cons (channel
       (name 'my-stuff)


       (url "git://git.a-rx.info/channel")

       (introduction
        (make-channel-introduction
	 "56384c65b5d57606cd7ff3e2a4db1c99c24d7adf"
         (openpgp-fingerprint
          "99BB E77D 73AE 07B9 D4B0  CA2E 3384 11E5 6E09 31B5")
         ))

       )
      %default-channels)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


I can "guix pull" (I am using "--allow-downgrades" the first time here, as I have used
channel my-stuff with a different inital commit before), anyway this
works fine so far - guix pull does not complain about the my-stuff channel.

and "urweb" is available, for example

rx@dell ~$ guix package -A urwe

rx@dell ~
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---



Thus apparently my setup is not too bad (including my rx.key in the
keyring branch etc.).


Now I am setting up a second channel2 instead: again with the two packages
emacs-dump.scm and urweb.scm as above, but additionally an emacs package
that I have created myself: emacs-hide-comnt.scm

(Really this is just a prerequisite for another package that I am
interested in, and I have a package definition for as well:
emacs-thing-cmds.scm - but I keep that question for another mail):

Now with my ~/.config/guix/channels.scm for channel2:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(cons (channel
       (name 'my-stuff2)


       (url "git://git.a-rx.info/channel2")

         ))

       )
      %default-channels)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


I cannot pull any more:

Apparently my emacs-hide-comnt.scm package

And I don't see why: I can download the package and build/install it
just fine:

Hm???

One difference that I see: my emacs-hide-comnt.scm has
a last line of 
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
emacs-hide-comnt
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and I need that for building the package by hand - If I remove
that line (the corresponding packages: emacs-dump.scm, urweb.scm
don't have such last lines): then I cannot build my package by hand
any more - and worse: I still cannot pull from my channel2 ??

Thanks in advance.

Re: setting up my own channel (for some personal packages)

[Edouard Klein]

Hi,

I am not sure, but here is my try:

I cloned your channel2 repo, and saw in emacs-hide-comnt.scm:

(define-module (gnu packages emacs-hide-comnt)

Modules names in Guile (in all schemes ?) must match the path, so either
put emacs-hide-comnt.scm in gnu/packages, or change the above line to:

(define-module (emacs-hide-comnt)

See that urweb.scm starts with:
(define-module (urweb)

My interpretation is that the error message means that the
emacs-hide-comnt module was not found where it was looked for, i.e. in
gnu/packages.

This may not be the only problem, but it is worth a try.

Good luck :)

Cheers,

Edouard.

Re: setting up my own channel (for some personal packages)

[Andreas Reuleaux]

Hi,

thanks a lot, and yes: that was it.

I had not really understood that w/

  (define-module (gnu packages emacs-hide-comnt)

my emacs-hide-comnt package was searched in gnu/packages,
but oh well: this makes sense after all, and I am learning.

I have received your reply only privatly so far (to my rx@a-rx.info
address), not from the mailing list - but I am Cc'ing there
nevertheless already.

Fixed in my http://git.a-rx.info/channel now (i.e. emacs-hide-comnt.scm
updated there).

I will add more packages there, as I progress.

In case anyone wants to try my configuration: I am kind of lazy:
creating new initial commits all to often (instead of pushing them).

thus the ~/.config/guix/channels.scm needs to be changed accordingly,
currently:



--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(cons (channel
       (name 'my-stuff)
                       
                       
       (url "git://git.a-rx.info/channel")

       (introduction
        (make-channel-introduction
         "109737fce5bd8f8f709646d3e1b2f519a07e2f9d"
         (openpgp-fingerprint
          "99BB E77D 73AE 07B9 D4B0  CA2E 3384 11E5 6E09 31B5")
         ))

       )
      %default-channels)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Many thanks again,

  -A

That's my fault, I mixed up and used an incorrect email address when
sending the email: this address is not subscribed to the list. Sorry.
