As per <https://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2022-06-09.log#194339>, I
recommend doing eliminating the ' in favour of 'list':

We usually don't do per-package modules in Guix, maybe it would fit
next to the barcode packages in (gnu packages aidc)?

Though aidc refers to a particular company, so maybe rename (gnu
packages aidc) to (gnu packages barcodes) first?

Maxime.

Done, minus rename, I don't feel comfortable doing that.

Can be improved by using the @acronym TeXinfo markup for ISO, IEC,
ASCII, UTF-8, EPS and PNG.  Or maybe that would be TMI here, dunno.

TMI IMHO.  No other package descriptions bother to use @acronym for
thing like ASCII, PNG etc.

Contains a bug: on line

, it allocates a buffer, which can fail (by returning NULL).
It then passes the possibly NULL buffer to compress2.
Also, it writes files without checking for errors
(e.g. EIO, ENOSPC or EDQUOT).

Good catch!  I'll need to brush up on my C skills to fix these.
Meanwhile I'd like to ship including bugs, WDYT?

I think it's ok, _if_ the bugs are eventually at least reported
upstream if we (i.e., you) cannot fix them timely (needs some contrived
circumstances to trigger the bug).

The maintainer's stance on not checking malloc response (from
https://github.com/rdoeffinger/iec16022/pull/17#issuecomment-1152892833):

He elaborated on this at:

  https://github.com/rdoeffinger/iec16022/pull/17#issuecomment-1153103749

Boiling down to: when memory is that low exiting with a proper error
messages and doing cleanup probably won't work anyway and the OOM killer
will have swept in before the situation exists.  Which makes sense,
IMHO, but I am no expert.

I've created an issue for the unchecked writes:

Is there anything else I can do to keep this ticket moving?  Bug about
unchecked IO is reported and discussion about unchecked malloc has
stalled.

Also note, this package is also being shipped by debian, archlinux,
fedora, and others.  Not that it matters but just to point out it's a
widely spread utility.

Cheers,
Remco

You could search for an alternative solution that is acceptable to 
upstream, or if upstream completely refuses bugfixes, add some patch to 
the Guix package definition.  Also, I have not yet seen a v2 for 
resolving the other (non-upstream-code) issues I noted.

Another method would be to help out with reviewing and fixing things 
(with other packages), this frees up time and is seen as a good act, 
hence making other people more inclined to help out with any remaining 
issues in your patches (including fixing issues such as those of the 
kind I have mentioned before, but also actually applying the patch and 
committing it).

You could also perform _all_ the checks in (guix)Submitting Patches 
(e.g., the bundling check, actually building it for other systems as 
well with QEMU, reproducibility check).

I am not convinced by your implied method of persuasion by social 
pressure / argumentum ad populum. If it doesn't matter, why use it as an 
argument?

Hi Maxime,

Sorry for the late reply, I was out camping.

The patches I did submit upstream were not accepted and I agree with the
arguments of the maintainer so I won't add these to this package
definition.

  https://github.com/rdoeffinger/iec16022/pull/17

Also, I did make a v2 but forgot to cc you, sorry about that:

  https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=55891#20

Also did a v3 because the copyright line was missing (and failed to cc
you again):

  https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=55891#35

That's a great tip and I will try and leap over my newby/shyness
feelings to get into that.  Getting feedback like yours has certainly
thought me a lot about what to look out for.  Thank you for your
feedback so far, also on the other patches I've submitted!

Just ran through them again and all seems to be fine.  I am not sure how
to prove I did.

What I should have written is I am moving and application from
ubuntu/debian to guix and am missing this package.  We already use a
custom channel to make development possible but in doing to I was
tickled by (guix)Creating a Channel mentioning:

  Before publishing a channel, please consider contributing your package
  definitions to Guix proper (*note Contributing::).  Guix as a project
  is open to free software of all sorts, and packages in Guix proper are
  readily available to all Guix users and benefit from the project’s
  quality assurance process.

Cheers,
Remco
