[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 474 bytes --]

This patch adds a 'guix hash' command.

I'd like it to output non-Base32 too, but I haven't found a way to
convert the output of 'sha256', which is a bytevector, to a string.

What options would you like to see implemented?

Should we capitalize error messages?  The current one was copied from
'guix import'.

Is it OK to output a backtrace when the specified file doesn't exist?

For example:

  # ./pre-inst-env guix hash foobar

Should we only print the error message?

Nice!

You mean a hexadecimal string?  There’s bytevector->base16-string in
(guix utils).

> What options would you like to see implemented?

Could you copy/paste the --format option found in (guix scripts download)?

> Should we capitalize error messages?

No (info "(standards) Errors"):

     The string MESSAGE should not begin with a capital letter when it
  follows a program name and/or file name, because that isn't the
  beginning of a sentence.  (The sentence conceptually starts at the
  beginning of the line.)  Also, it should not end with a period.

     Error messages from interactive programs, and other messages such as
  usage messages, should start with a capital letter.  But they should not
  end with a period.

> Is it OK to output a backtrace when the specified file doesn't exist?

No, because it’s too scaring.  :-)

I’m sure there are still places where the guix commands spit out a
backtrace, but we should fix that.

> +  "Return the cryptographic hash of FILE in Base32."

“base32” (lower-case).

Also, could you add an entry in the manual (with a couple of sentences
explaining when users should care about this tool, and what it does), as
well as a line in po/POTFILES.in?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I changed it a bit.

(By the way, I'd like to add your copyright to the header of 'hash.scm'.
What year should be used?)

>> Should we capitalize error messages?

> No (info "(standards) Errors"): [...]

OK, I prepended 'guix hash' to all messages.  I'd like to change other
commands (e.g., 'guix download') accordingly.  What do you think?

I also want to change the output of 'guix download --help'.  In
particular, I'd like to specify the supported formats and remove
(default: `nix-base32').  Basically, I want it to look like the output
of 'guix hash --help'.

>> Is it OK to output a backtrace when the specified file doesn't exist?

Done.

Done.  But what is a translatable string?  Is it a string that should be
i18n'd?

Do you have any suggestions regarding the manual entry of 'guix hash'?
The current version looks rough to me.

Oh, Mark warned me about 'file-exists?' some time ago.

How can I do the same but avoid a race condition?

I think it’d be nice to have a ‘warning’ procedure in (guix ui), so
things are uniform.  Furthermore, ‘guix-main’ could do:

  (parameterize ((current-script-name arg0))
    ...)

so that ‘warning’ and similar procedures could pick up the program name
from there.

Would you like to work on this, in a separate patch?

I was thinking that it might be enough to list the supported formats in
the manual, and not in --help, which should remain concise.  WDYT?

Yes, introduced by a call to the ‘gettext’ procedure, of which ‘_’ is an alias.

I would add something like: “It is primarily a convenience tool for
anyone contributing to the distribution: it reports the hash of a file,
as appears package definitions (@pxref{Defining Packages}).”

You could add an xref from “Defining Packages” too.

I would remove this paragraph.

I’d remove this sentence, and instead we should add a node for
guix download too (patch welcome! :-)).

Modulo these minor details, it looks good to me.

Thanks!

Ah, TOCTTOU, right.

You could do:

  (let ((hash (catch 'system-error
                (lambda ()
                  (call-with-input-file ...))
                (lambda args

Not sure how to do it.  How can I get the result of 'guix-main' from a
relevant script (e.g., 'guix/scripts/hash.scm')?

I assume that 'parameterize' should be placed inside 'guix-main'.  But
how can 'warning' access its internals?  Note that I'm new to
'parameterize' and I'm not really comfortable with it.  (Yep, I've read
the manual.)

> Would you like to work on this, in a separate patch?

Yes, I'd like to push it prior to 'guix hash'.  But it seems that you'll
do all the work if you answer my questions.  So feel free to push if the
patch is just a couple of lines.

> I was thinking that it might be enough to list the supported formats

Of course, it should be concise but also helpful.  I was puzzled when I
saw it for the first time.  So I still think that we should mention the
formats in the output of '--help'.  I'll create a patch for
'guix download' if you agree.

Why should we keep track of such files?

Also, what is the purpose of 'let' in 'guix-main'?  If I get it right,
it's used to isolate some functions [1].  But 'option?' is not a
top-level function.  So why bother?  (I expect it's not that easy.)

A similar approach is used in 'scripts/guix'.

Here is what I did (I'll remove "guix hash" when we have "warning"):

      (match args
        ((file)
         (catch 'system-error
           (lambda ()
             (format #t "~a~%"
                     (call-with-input-file file
                       (compose fmt sha256 get-bytevector-all))))
           (lambda args
             (leave (_ "~a: ~a~%")
                    "guix hash" (strerror (system-error-errno args))))))
        (_
         (leave (_ "~a: wrong number of arguments~%")
                "guix hash")))))

I guess that "wrong number of arguments" can be handled by
(lambda args ...).  Still, the above feels much safer.

What do you think?

I thought that it's possible to remove 'match' and get the "wrong number
of arguments" from (strerror ...).  But now I'm not sure.  "wrong number
of arguments" should be handled by 'wrong-number-of-args', not
'system-error'.  So I'll use the proposed version.

Exactly.  ‘strerror’ is equivalent to the same-named C function–that
is, it returns the error string corresponding to the given errno value.

‘parameterize’ sets dynamically-scoped variables (or “parameters”, in
SRFI-39 terms).  So for instance:

  (let* ((p (make-parameter 'outside))
         (f (lambda () (format #f "i am ~a" (p)))))
    (parameterize ((p 'inside))
      (f)))

  ⇒ "i am inside"

It’s like ‘current-input-port’ & co.

Because ‘xgettext’ extracts translatable strings from files listed
therein (info "(gettext) po/POTFILES.in").

Yeah, I’d have written:

  (define (guix-main ...)
    (define (option? x) ...)
    (initialize-guix)
    (match args ...))

But it’s basically equivalent.

'make check' returns "FAIL: tests/guix-package.sh" on master.

I believe this commit [1] is the cause of the problem.  Everything works
if I switch to the previous commit.

I think that it's only necessary to adjust '_' in 'package.scm'.  I'm
trying to do so.

Hmmm, I've tried to replace (format (current-error-port) ...) with
'leave' or 'warning', but it still fails.  Could anyone help?

> things are uniform.

It think it might be better to have a single 'warning' macro which could
handle several cases (errors, warnings and similar things).  (Actually,
'guix hash' should use errors, not warnings.)

Here is a simplified version:

(define-syntax define-output-macro
  (syntax-rules ()
    ((_ name prefix)
     (define-syntax name
       (lambda (x)
         (syntax-case x (_ N_)
           ((name (_ str))
            (with-syntax ((prefix (datum->syntax x prefix)))
              #'(display (string-append prefix str "\n"))))
           ((name (N_ str1 str2))
            (with-syntax ((prefix (datum->syntax x prefix)))
              #'(display (string-append prefix str1 str2 "\n"))))))))))

;; (Is there a way not to repeat 'with-syntax'?)

(define-output-macro warning "warning: ")
(define-output-macro error* "error: ")

scheme@(guile-user)> (warning (_ "foo"))
warning: foo

scheme@(guile-user)> (error* (N_ "foo" "bar"))
error: foobar

And here is a problem...  Is it possible to compose a macro (e.g.,
'error*') with (exit 1) without touching the internals of
'define-output-macro'?

Here is an example with a function:

(define (error**)
  (display "Error!\n"))

(define (error-n-exit)
  (begin
	(error**)
	(exit 1)))

I meant: "a single macro which could be used to create other macros."

Yes, you’re right.

Rather: ‘define-diagnostic’.

You should reuse the body of the current ‘warning’ macro, though.

> (define-output-macro warning "warning: ")
> (define-output-macro error* "error: ")

You could use ‘report-error’ to avoid name clashes.

But I think ‘leave’ should be enough, no?

> scheme@(guile-user)> (warning (_ "foo"))
> warning: foo
>
> scheme@(guile-user)> (error* (N_ "foo" "bar"))
> error: foobar

Note that ‘N_’ is meant to be an alias for ‘ngettext’, so the above form
is invalid.

What about:

  (define-syntax-rule (leave args ...)
    (begin
      (error* args ...)
      (exit 1)))

Thanks,
Ludo’.

What's wrong with this macro?

(define-syntax define-diagnostic

         (define (augmented-format-string fmt)

         (syntax-case x (N_ _)                    ; these are literals, yeah...

I'm getting the "extra ellipsis in form" error.

Since there’s a single rule, you should use ‘define-syntax-rule’
instead, for conciseness.

This is a macro-generating macro.  In the body of the generated macro,
above, there are 4 occurrences of ‘...’.  But these ellipses have no
meaning in the outer macro; they are just meaningful in the context of
the generated macro, hence the error.

Instead, you should replace all 4 occurrences with (... ...).

Yes, it’s always surprising at first.  ;-)

Yep, could you add it to the manual?  There is only a reference to this
book [1] which briefly discusses the topic.

I'm attaching the patch that adds a 'define-diagnostic' macro.  Can I
push it to 'master'?

I ran 'grep' to find things which use "warning" or "leave."  I guess
it's possible to change other functions (the ones that use 'error' and
'format').  But it will probably trigger a rebuild.  So what should I
do?

Also, is it possible to move 'report-error' inside 'leave'?

Finally, I haven't tested each change.  All tests pass and there are no
warnings.  Is it good enough?

Well, it’s specified in R[56]RS I believe, but yeah.

Looks good to me.  Make sure to run ‘make clean && make’ before, to see
if there’s anything that fails to build (you only need to do this
because these are macros.)

Everything in guix/build/* must be left as is: it’s not part of the UI,
except perhaps for (guix build download).  However, the rule is to only
import (guix build ...) modules in (guix build ...) modules.

So this looks fine as is.  We’ll see later if there’s anything wrong
with (guix build download) or something else.

> Also, is it possible to move 'report-error' inside 'leave'?

Didn’t you want to export it as well?  But otherwise no.

Plus ‘make clean && make’.

Please push if it passes that.

Thanks!

It doesn’t use gettext AFAICS, so that’s fine.

I was talking about this:

+++ b/guix/gnu-maintenance.scm

[...]

+                (warning (_ "using Guile ~a, ~a ~s encoding~%")
+                         (version)
+                         "which does not support HTTP"

+                (leave (_ "download failed; use a newer Guile")

I guess it should be added.  Am I mistaken?
