The problem of "guix build emacs --with-source=./emacs"

When I use the below command to build emacs from emacs.git

    guix build emacs --with-source=./emacs               (emacs dir is git repo)

Build fail, after i remove the .git, build success.

The repo of emacs.git is 1.5G, is it the reason?

Could you explain how it fails exactly, and post the tail of the
build log?

I don’t think so.  That certainly makes it a bad option, though.

Thanks,

Isn't the emacs/.git dir is included in the hash calculation if it's
left in there? I believe that guix calculates these hashes without the
.git dir IIRC. Not sure of great ways to work around this without moving
the './emacs/.git' dir outside of ./emacs during your build, as .git
dirs contain all kinds of non-reproducible state on disk

I don't know the reason, my guix store has broken and can't build emacs-snapshot, I remember it it the problem of pipline.

When I do the below job:

     git clone file:///path/to/my-emacs  /path/to/emacs-new --depth=1

the new repo can build :-) .... so I think the problem may be the size of repo....

Yes.

Correct.  So keeping the .git directory indeed makes the thing
“unreproducible” in the sense that nobody else will get the same .git
directory.  But it may be acceptable if all you want is to make a
one-off build.
