Hi,
Commit f651b47 adds a “guix pull” command. It fetches a Guix source
tarball, unpacks it, compiles Scheme code (so not the daemon), and
changes ~/.config/guix/latest to point to it.
The commit also changes the ‘guix’ command to put ~/.config/guix/latest
at the front of the search path (except when using ./pre-inst-env.)
This way, it allows users to at the same time update package
descriptions (like “apt-get update”) and the package manager itself.
I considered other options, such as making a package for Guix and
letting users install it in their profile. That would have provided
roll-back and everything for free. However, I came to the conclusion
that package management of the package manager itself deserves special
treatment, and should not be in the way of users.
The implementation has two main problems: it does not authenticate the
tarball it downloads, and downloads a full tarball (~5 MiB) every time.
We need a bit of infrastructure to fix that. We could have a process on
hydra.gnu.org that automatically signs tarballs with a pre-defined key.
For the second issue, there are Git, rsync, bsdiff, or even GNUnet that
could help, but that requires more thought.
Comments welcome!
Thanks,
Ludo’.

The following error occurs for me with the latest git version:

If you’re using Guile 2.0.7+, a progress report is displayed; nothing
gets displayed for earlier Guile versions, though.

Can you run
guix build /nix/store/7pp5x6b3ikz6vnvrdlr836bjp4sbgbg8-guix-latest.drv
and post the log?
Thanks,

I believe this is fixed by 7b50c68 (which is like 855a8ad).
Can you confirm?
(Note how the file system introduces non-determinism in a way that can
have a concrete effect: the bug above would show up only if
guix/build/download.scm wasn’t built when guix/scripts/download.scm was
compiled, which depends on the order in which files were traversed.)
