Let’s merge ‘core-updates’!

Let’s merge ‘core-updates’!

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Guix!

The ‘core-updates’ branch is in a good shape now, and I think we should
go ahead and merge in the coming days!

Please try to upgrade your system and your user profile to see if
anything’s wrong for you (I did that a few days ago and I’m happy!).

You can test, for example, with:

  guix pull --branch=core-updates -p /tmp/new
  /tmp/new/bin/guix upgrade

You can also check substitute availability:

  /tmp/new/bin/guix weather -c 10

Feedback welcome!

Ludo’.

Maybe I have something twisted but I get this error:

Please do.  What does the log at

Could you give us the exact command to reproduce it, with a ‘--commit’
flag and without a ~/.config/guix/channels.scm file, as well as the
output of ‘guix describe’ for the ‘guix’ command you’re using?

Thanks,

Sorry the noise.
The culprit was the ~/.config/guix/channels.scm file and my custom
channel has seemed inconsistent.
Basically I did not report the big move of Haskell packages so
'ghc-pandoc' was not found.
 #:use-module (gnu packages haskell) ->  #:use-module (gnu packages haskell-xyz)


Sorry again.

Unfortunately there is a lot of "noise" in the CI -- packages that fail
to build on *all* branches.  It is currently also difficult to compare
branches to see regressions.  Help wanted!  :-)

So for now we have to rely on user feedback, and `guix weather`.

Thanks for testing!

This means that the program you are executing was linked against a
different version of libc than the current system has locales for.

To make the glibc 2.28 locales available and get rid of this warning for
packages you haven't updated yet, add this to your configuration and
reconfigure:

 (locale-libcs (list glibc-2.28 (canonical-package glibc)))

> Also after a reboot, the early guile repl gets stuck populating /etc.

This is <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/37501>.  Can you see if the
mentioned fix works for you?

I switched my local git checkout to core-updates, git pulled and then
did a `guix pull --branch=core-updates` from it.  Afterwards I made
some changes to the local git checkout and tried to pull again, but it

My system is already on core-updates and it works fine.

Still to be pushed to core-updates is a fix for ant-bootstrap on
i686-linux (which block all Java packages on that architecture).  We’re
just waiting for independent confirmation that this fix is fine.

reconfiguring my system and upgrading the other packages in my profile
seems to work very well.

I ran into this issue as well. Gnucash verison 3.7 fixes this issue
[0]. I have a preliminary patch that may be pushed on master. My
computer is currently attempting to build it on core-updates, but it has
to build WebKitGTK first.

The patch seems to work. Please see the following issue to try it out:

That did the trick, thank you.

mentioned fix works for you?

I added urandom-seed to the services for this system, but reconfigure
failed because I use the desktop-services as a base, which includes
urandom-seed as a service from base-services.
The reconfigure and reboot did not hang this time, though.

Everything else I use looks good, thanks!

John

It mostly works fine for me, except that the build of next-gtk-webkit 
fails (which works fine on master). The cause is:

make[2]: Entering directory '/tmp/guix-build-webkitgtk-2.26.1.drv-0/build'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'JavaScriptCore-4.0.gir', needed by 
'WebKit2-4.0.gir'.  Stop.

AFAICS next builds fine on ‘core-updates’ as of
86f2124b0f015e99416e5e6efc15f0ef790eb366 (on x86_64).

Friends have fixed quite a few things lately, so I’ll merge today.

Please shout now if you’re aware of a blocker!

I think <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/37501> should block the
merge.  Otherwise many headless systems will occasionally fail to boot.

(attended systems too, but at least then you have a good meat-based
entropy source at hand)

John Soo reported that adding the urandom-seed-service-type did not
work.  Perhaps it starts after OpenSSH?  I haven't had time to look into
it yet.

I think we made good progress there; there are still unknowns, but at
least we have a workaround (Torvalds’ patch.)

Anything else that should be blocking the merge?

Thanks!

Apparently not, so I went ahead and merged!

Please email bug-guix@gnu.org if you notice anything wrong.

For the record, there are many novelties: glibc 2.29, the default
compiler is now GCC 7 (was 5.5), there’s the new “reduced binary seed
bootstrap”, and tons of other updates and improvements.

Thanks to everyone who’s been working on this!

Ludo’.
