[Julius Schwartzenberg]

Hi all, I was requested to send this mail by the tool. Please see the 
output below. I hope it can help. I am running Armbian 22.11 on an ASUS 
Tinker Board.

Best regards,
Julius

Hello Julius,

does it work if you do this before pull?

sudo guix archive --authorize < $(dirname $(which guix))/../share/guix/bordeaux.guix.gnu.org.pub

Then it would compile fine on the bordeaux build farm and you could
download the substitute from there.

Regards,
Florian

When I do this, I get:

Might there be something wrong with the installation?

Yes, I am not sure why it seems to try to compile so much. I assumed ARM 
builds might not be available. I'd rather avoid compiling anything 
locally as this ARM board has little resources for this.

Thanks!!

Oops, my mistake.  You wrote your guix is at version 1.3.0, which is
older than the bordeaux build farm.

So how would you get an updated Guix?  One way would be to delete /gnu
and /var/guix and then just download and install the 1.4.0 version, but
deleting would invalidate all links to the store.

Alternatively, you run guix pull to some in-between version of guix,
maybe:

guix pull --commit=26499816a973b3aab9aaf8e13b909d0bde4e2dd5

and then run

sudo guix archive --authorize < $(dirname $(which guix))/../share/guix/bordeaux.guix.gnu.org.pub

and guix pull.

Florian

No problem! I used the installation script just a few days earlier and I 
presumed it would give me the latest of everything. I didn't imagine I 
would need to do a 'guix pull' after running it. It seems I ran it at a 
bad moment, just as 1.4.0 was about to be released.

I did this as I am working with essentially a fresh installation.

Unfortunately it is still not working out. While more packages seem to 
be downloaded, some very large ones are still being compiled and this 
simply ends up hanging my system.

Is there a way to enforce only binaries are fetched and compilation is 
never attempted? Even if that means I might not always run the latest 
version?

Thank you!

Best regards,
Julius

Indeed, but upgrading without compiling will be easier with bordeaux.
(Probably it would also have been possible to download guix 1.4.0
manually and then insert that into the store with `guix download` or
so.)

Yes there is a way.  Look at the output from `guix weather` (see
<https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-weather.html>
in the English manual); if substitute coverage is bad, you could wait a
few days or maybe look at `guix build --log-file` if compilation fails
at the build farm (see
<https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/html_node/Additional-Build-Options.html>).

If you want `guix pull` without compiling, then look at
<https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/html_node/Channels-with-Substitutes.html>.

I hope it helps.

Florian

I added the lines to my personal .config/guix/channels.scm, but guix 
pull then shows:
guix pull: waarschuwing: could not find available substitutes at 
https://ci.guix.gnu.org

And it still ends up compiling. I also tried replacing ci with bordeaux 
in the URL, but then it shows a 404.

I think I'm still missing something?

Best regards,
Julius

Bah, it appears ci.guix.gnu.org currently just doesn’t build for
armhf-linux.  Bordeaux does not offer the needed Cuirass API.

I believe but do not know that Bordeaux does not actually build the
latest guix, just the packages.

I don’t know if offering the latest guix would even be feasible.
Probably not?  armhf builds take a long time.

bordeaux.guix.gnu.org builds and provides substitutes for the guix pull
(channel instance) derivations, for at least some systems.

For bordeaux.guix.gnu.org, there's some dependency on the channel
instance derivations provided by data.guix.gnu.org. Unfortunately, just
computing these derivations seems to require building things for that
system (unlike package derivations), so currently data.guix.gnu.org uses
QEMU binfmt to help with this. The arm system wasn't enabled, so these
derivations are missing for recent revisions.

I know there was some work done around the release to at least fix
things for the guix package on armhf-linux. I'll have a go add enabling
arm for QEMU on data.guix.gnu.org to see what happens.
