Naive question: Why do we need libgit2-1.1?

From my understanding, it could be removed.  Well, I propose to split
this patch into three patches.

1.
* doc/guix.texi (Using a Custom Guix Channel): Add note and example
on how to exempt a local guix repository from git ownership checks.

2.
* gnu/packages/version-control.scm (libgit2-1.1): Remove varibale.

3.
* gnu/packages/version-control.scm (libgit2): Update to 1.5.1.
[source]: Remove snippet to comment out the "10 years ago" test, which
was removed on newer versions.
(libgit2-1.4): New variable. Update to 1.4.5.
(libgit2-1.3): Inherit from 'libgit2-1.4'. Update to 1.3.2.

WDYT?

Perhaps you meant to use @command{git} in the above instead of
@command{guix}, since it's specific to Git (and the configure snippet is
for Git) ?

Not really. It's guix itself and its subcommands which will fail in
this scenario, not git, even though it's because guix is using git
configuration through libgit2. To me it would be misleading to use
@command{git} there. I could come up with a more detailed
description, however, I don't think this would be the place to be
diving on a detailed discussion of guix internals. I'm up to
suggestions though if you think this patch would make people wonder
if it is a typo.

WDYT?

I understand.  How about a very subtle nudge at the fact that Guix uses
git (via libgit2) under the hood?  Something like the following, where
I've used a footnote (untested):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Note that you can specify a local directory on the @code{url} field
above if the channel that you intend to use resides on a local file
system.  However, in this case @command{guix}@footnote{More accurately,
@command{git}, which Guix utilizes via the @code{libgit2} library.}
checks said directory for ownership before any further processing.  This
means that if the user is not the directory owner, but wants to use it
as their default, they will then need to set it as a safe directory in
their global git configuration file.  Otherwise, @command{guix} will
refuse to even read it.  Supposing your system-wide local directory is
at @code{/src/guix.git}, you would then create a git configuration file
at @code{~/.gitconfig} with the following contents:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I don't think it's more accurate to say it's @command{git}.

Looking at the manual, on section 7.4 "Channel Authentication", it says:

---

The @command{guix pull} and @command{guix time-machine} commands
@dfn{authenticate} the code retrieved from channels: they make sure each
commit that is fetched is signed by an authorized developer.  The goal
is to protect from unauthorized modifications to the channel that would
lead users to run malicious code.

As a user, you must provide a @dfn{channel introduction} in your
channels file so that Guix knows how to authenticate its first commit.
A channel specification, including its introduction, looks something
along these lines:

---

Then it goes on to describe how to insert a openpgp fingerprint, a
commit hash, but it does not say it's @command{git}, nor
@command{gnupg}, and it has no word to say about gcrypt library,
libgit2 or guile and IMO it's good as is.

Anyway, would it satisfy your concerns if I were to send another patch
version with the following contents?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Note that you can specify a local directory on the @code{url} field
above if the channel that you intend to use resides on a local file
system.  However, in this case Guix checks said directory for ownership
before any further processing and it will, by default, abort execution
if the configured directory is neither owned by the calling user nor
has it been configured as a safe directory in the user's global
@command{git} configuration file at @code{~/.gitconfig}, which Guix
honors@footnote{If you know your @command{git}, this security measure
mimicks what it does.}.  Supposing your system-wide local channel is
at @code{/src/guix.git}, you would then declare it a safe directory by
adding the following configuration directives to your @command{git}
global configuration file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then we could mention just @code{libgit2} in the footnote.  It is an
implementation detail, but one perhaps worth mentioning in this context
(otherwise a user could wonder "what does ~/.gitconfig have to do with
Guix?").

My point was that Guix alone couldn't care less about ~/.gitconfig, so
it seems confusing to me to mention it in relation to Guix.  It's really
a libgit2/git-specific thing, so should be mentioned somewhere, in my
opinion.

But now that you've pointed at our current style elsewhere, I guess your
original version is fine.  The good part about it is that by avoiding to
mention implementation details such as libgit2, it makes it less likely
that text will go stale as Guix evolves.

I've now applied the original, untouched.

Just to be sure we are on the same page on this: have you followed on
#55399? AKA Guix has a choice to make here since we could just as
well decide to diverge from git and disable owner validation checks
entirely in Guix. On the one side, users wouldn't need to bother with
git configuration and the manual could do without this patch. On the
other, would this divergence have any security implications? As far
as I can see it doesn't, but I may not be seeing far enough and we
would be hard coding and burying this decision in Guix.

Also we wouldn't be exempting one chosen directory of these checks,
but disabling it altogether in Guix.

WDYT?

I'm not sure of the security implications this new git switch tries
addressing, so I'd have to read about it more before I can commit on
what's right to do.  In the meantime, we have a recent libgit2 and users
have instructions about dealing with its new security "features", so it
still seems a plus to me.

I was building the dependents and just found out that python-pygit2
requires libgit2-1.4.

I've opted to update it to 1.11.1 instead; commit "gnu: python-pygit2:

We do not use Github/Gitlab/etc. auto-generated tarballs has there is no
guarantee that they'll be bit-for-bit identical upon regeneration and
this led to broken checksums in the past.  Could you please use the
tag/commit instead?

I noticed about this problem looking at the QA page here:
https://qa.guix.gnu.org/issue/61246.  I'm not sure what are the other
problems reported, they look like false positives to me.

Did you rebuild the dependent packages, used that with Guix without
problems so far?  The QA has yet to answer that question.

This patch series should be split into 3 atomic commits.

And the update of libgit2-1.1 from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 is not necessary and
even this variable could be removed – what I am suggesting. :-)

Oh I did not know about that. I could use the git tag instead, but after
yours and zimoun's messages I've noticed that:

- I had only check dependencies using libgit2 without any @version numbers
and so I thought that there were fewer dependencies than there are in fact;

- no other package seems to be depending on libgit2-1.1, so it should be
remove instead of updated, as zimoun suggested;

- this patch should probably be on core-updates, not on master.

So I'm inclined to agree with zimoun and just remove libgit2-1.1, what do
you think? I'll work on another version of this patch and get back to
you.

I did not know about this QA service, thanks for pointing that out. I
couldn't figure out the other warnings as well, but I only had a quick
look at them.

I did not rebuild all dependent packages yet, I've rebuild only my local
dependencies on two machines (i686 and x86_64).

Yesterday, however, I've bumped on a build error on libjami that could
be related to this patch, even though it does not seem to be so at a
first glance. The build error occurs at check phase with the following
error:

Forget about this, I've built it on yet another machine without
issues, so this problem is indeed unrelated.

Is there a no-brainer way to try building all dependent packages?

Sadly not from the CLI, I used a bunch of shell script helpers to do so:

Just FYI, it seems like this didn't catch Julia, which (sigh) 
fails its test suite when the libgit2 version number doesn't match 
its hard-coded expectation.  No biggie, but might help you debug 
your scripts.

Kind regards,

Or maybe I misinterpreted the intention.

When debugging this, I would have liked to find separate commits 
for each version, or a more generic title (without the misleading 
‘to 1.5.1’).

Apologies for the breakage, and thank you for the prompt fix!  I wish I
had the QA's badge of approval, but after waiting more than a week I had
no expectation of when it'd show up.

I agree that it is hard to know if something related to QA is going
wrong or if it is something related to the patch.  I had the issue in
[1,2].

The intention was: « When debugging this, I would have liked to find
separate commits a for each version, or a more generic title (without
the misleading ‘to 1.5.1’). » :-)

Just to point that as member of the Julia team, I know by experience
that the dependency relationship between Julia and the Git ecosystem can
be tedious to find.  Hence my proposal to split – it helps to prevent
breakage or help to debug it.

Thanks Tobias for the quick fix!

Ack! I'll keep that in mind and try to alleviate the burden instead of
aggravating it.
