[bug#74411] freedict-dictionaries build non-deterministic

[Runciter via Guix-patches via]

The build of the package freedict-dictionaries is non-deterministic, at
least because the output dictionaries are compressed by the utility
dictzip, which includes a timestamp in the compressed file headers.

I have not confirmed it yet but I think I could fix it: it would involve
a patch to the freedict-tools package, and then output dictionaries of
freedict-dictionaries would not be compressed.

The maintainers should just tell me if it's worth it to fix
non-determinism in this way: we have to carry forward a patch (unless a
better idea comes up), and we lose the benefit of compressing the outputs.

Are you sure there are no options at compression time to force
determinism on the archive?

Usually, there are some, see tar invocations for instance: 
(invoke "tar" "cvfa" (string-append this-file ".tar")
      "--mtime=1" "--owner=root:0" "--group=root:0" ; determinism
      "--sort=name" ".")

The sort is here for determinism too.

I'm as sure as one can be when one has read the man page of
dictzip. That is to say, not sure about undocumented features.

Independently of dictzip capabilities, one problem actually is having to
patch the freedict-tools package if one wants to change anything to the
output compression of freedict-dictionaries. From what I found online,
FreeDict does not document how to fine-tune or disable dictzip
compression within its build system. In the place where it's done at
compile-time, I don't see any handles I could use; you can look if you
want, it's in the source of the freedict-tools package, the
'install-base' target found in the file mk/dicts.mk.

Now that I think about it I figure, IF a patch has to be done, then
surely anyway some command-line hack could be inserted into the target
from the patch that would make up for the lack of a usable command-line
switch in dictzip... It's lame to have to create, setup and maintain a
patch, but if it has to be done we might as well enjoy the flexibility.

Incidentally, gzip as a subsitute for dictzip is documented to work in
dictd, some dictd optimizations would be lost though, I guess gzipped
dictionaries may also work in dicod and I also guess, dicod probably
does not bother to make detailed optimizations tailored to the dictzip
format specifics. This and other considerations makes it potentially
worthwhile to experiment a little by creating a dictd service in my
system, if that is practical, as well as playing around with the
relevant dicod handler.

Let me study in those directions until the end of the week and get back
to you.

[bug#74411] patch v2 non-determinism fix

[Runciter via Guix-patches via]

Version 2 of the patch is a change to the freedict-tools package which
is a fix for the non-determinism of dictzip headers.

Before compressing .dict files, a shell command involving touch and date
sets the file's mtime to the start of the epoch taken on the Greenwich
meridian.

The build is now repeatable on my machine, and probably on any single
machine. As for reproducibility across machines, well, good chance it'll
be reproducible: the design intent is that the compressed file headers
should be insensitive to the system's configured time zone. This will
need to be assured by challenging a substitutes build from a computer
which is configured on a timezone different from its substitute server.

[bug#74411] [PATCH v2 1/5] gnu: Add (gnu packages dictd).

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi,

Thanks for these patches!

Overall it LGTM, I only have minor comments and suggestions:

> +(define-public libmaa-1.3.2

Unless there’s a good reason (such as future patches adding specific
versions), I’d call it ‘libmaa’.

> +    (native-inputs (list libtool))

I suspect you don’t need Libtool here (it would be needed if you were
building from a checkout instead of from a tarball).

> +     (list
> +      #:make-flags #~'("CFLAGS=-DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -Wall -Wno-error -g -O2 $(VERCFLAGS) -I. -I${srcdir}")

Could you add a comment (one or two lines) explaining why these flags
are needed?

> +  The memory management routines are especially helpful for improving

You can remove ‘tar’ and ‘gzip’, they’re provided by ‘gnu-build-system’.

‘python’ and ‘perl’ should probably be in ‘native-inputs’, assuming
they’re used at build-time.

Please add a short comment explaining why the test suite is skipped
(such as “no tests”).

Maybe: “Multilingual dictionaries compiled to the DICT format” (the
format is “DICT”, right?).

Nice, LGTM!

[bug#74411] [PATCH v2 1/5] gnu: Add (gnu packages dictd).

[Runciter via Guix-patches via]

Hi,

I'll send a revised patch series in a few minutes.

Thanks for review and feedback, I tried to follow all the advice and may
have succeeded except for 3 items for which the packages pose specific
difficulties.

I tried to remove the libtool native input but the test phase failed.

I don't find anything that looks like an overall upstream version for
the whole freedict-dictionaries package. It seems only individual
dictionaries are (partially?) versioned.

Therefore at this time I don't have a unique and correct argument I
could feed to git-version.

Actually There is a "validation" target that could be considered for the
test phase. It lints a xml source file for each dictionary. However it
fails because of a hard-coded "/usr/bin/xmllint" path in
freedict-tools. I added a comment to mention this issue.

This might be fixable; I'll try if requested by a maintainer. I have not
tried yet because it would probably require an extra special measure,
in the form of either a patch or regexp substitution.

Regards,
Runciter
