Hi,

I just pushed a new ‘nix-integration’ branch.  The goal is to import the
subset of Nix that we need to run the daemon in Guix itself, so that 0.1
will hopefully be self-contained.

The branch adds a script to synchronize the code with upstream Nix
(think ‘gnulib-update’.)  It extends the build system to build that C++
code, and adds a little bit of glue code to put it all together.

There’s still some functionality missing.  In Nix it’s provided by a
bunch of hairy Perl scripts that nix-daemon calls, but I’d like to
rework that part in an attempt to honor a zero-Perl policy.  :-)

Comments welcome!

Ludo’.

Hello!

I just merged that branch in ‘master’.  So now, you need to run
‘./bootstrap’ (and not just autoreconf) to initialize the package.

So now, unless ‘--disable-daemon’ is passed, a ‘guix-daemon’ binary is
built from C++, mostly taken from upstream Nix.

Please report any problems.  :-)

I also tried "--disable-daemon". It does not make and install the daemon,
but guix-package still tries to communicate with a socket in the
installation directory. So it does not cooperate with the nix-worker
anymore.

Yes: in that case, you should use --localstatedir to specify the place
where nix-worker has its data and socket.

I guess README should mention it.

As well as
   guix-package --help
One more reason to not have guix-package connect to the daemon when the
options --help or --version are passed.

As for nix-worker, it helps to call
   NIX_SUBSTITUTERS="" guix-daemon --build-users-group=nixbld
Could something be done globally about this?

The next error message is

although I just started the guix daemon and there are 10 users in the

Ouch, right.

For now, ‘guix-daemon’ has to be run like this:

  NIX_SUBSTITUTERS="" guix-daemon &

I’ll change it to be the default, so the env. var. doesn’t need to be set.

That’s because I didn’t want to import Nix’s substituters (scripts that
download pre-compiled binaries), mostly because they’re written in Perl.

We need a replacement, of course, but perhaps after 0.1 is out.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Commit 335dd76 disables substituters.  We’ll re-enable them once it’s
actually (re)implemented.  :-)

Hmm, can you try running guix-daemon with the newly-added ‘--debug’
option?

TIA,

Not much to see. Here is the output:

I deleted /usr/local/guix-git/var/ and tried again
   ./pre-inst-env guix-build hello

The result is more varied, I am attaching it in case it is of any use.

One more comment: The size of guix-daemon is 9 804 696, that of
nix-worker 691 834, and the entire directory nix/bin contains
only 5 312 kB. A bit suspicious. Do you have an explanation?

Oh right.  Actually, can you instead try this:

  guix-build --verbosity=4 hello

(Yes, this is a brand new option.  :-))

On my machine ‘guix-build’ emits messages like:

  |   |   |   found build user `nixbld1'
  |   |   |   found build user `nixbld2'
  |   |   |   found build user `nixbld3'

Running ‘strip --strip-debug guix-daemon’ makes it go from 10 MiB to
just 1 MiB (this is C++!).

Also, guix-daemon is statically-linked against the Nix libraries,
whereas nix-daemon is dynamically linked against them.  Here,
/path/to/nix/lib/nix weighs in at around 2 MiB.

Does that answer your question?

Okay, very well. I saw that both were dynamically linked and started
to wonder.

First, guix-daemon is running as root, right?

That seems to suggest that there’s a lock on each of these.  What does
‘ls -l /nix/var/nix/userpool/’ report?

Can you also try running guix-daemon in strace, and then check then
fcntl(fd, F_SETLKW, _) calls for user locks?

TIA,
Ludo’.

Yes, in a separate terminal as

-rw------- 1 root root 0 Dez 10 23:30 30001

/etc/group contains a line

I find none of these:
   strace ./pre-inst-env guix-build hello 2>&1 | grep fcntl | grep F_SETLKW
returns nothing.

No, could you run guix-daemon in strace?

Oh, actually since the daemon forks (last line above), you need -f:

  # strace -o log -f guix-daemon --build-users-group=nixbld

Okay, output attached.

Towards the end, there are lots of "unfinished" and "bad file descriptor".

Hi Andreas,

It just occurred to me: here nixbld1 and nixbld10 have the same UID,
which is wrong.  Can you check whether the others have a different UID?

Here I have:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
nixbld1:x:30001:30000:Nix build user 1:/var/empty:/run/current-system/sw/sbin/nologin

nixbld10:x:30010:30000:Nix build user 10:/var/empty:/run/current-system/sw/sbin/nologin
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You should fix it with something like:

  for b in `seq 1 10`; do usermod -u `expr 30000 + $b` nixbld$b ; done

Crossing fingers...

Silly me! I think that was it, a simple copy-and-paste error. Sorry for
taking your time. Strangely enough, the same setting worked for the
nix daemon.

Did anything in the base system change? I find myself redownloading gcc
and so on. Or does the switch to guix-daemon trigger a rebuild?

Good to know.  :-)

Hmm, interesting.  We’d have to follow the logic in libstore/build.cc...

Normally core packages didn’t change on ‘master’.

Thanks,
