One thing discussed with Ricardo on #guix-hpc is the need for
exceptions for cases where the importer gets inputs wrong. Examples:
• The CRAN updater might suggest adding ‘r-knitr’ as an input to a
dependency of ‘r-knitr’.
• There are other more complicated cases such as ‘r-dt’, which depends
on JavaScript code.
• The PyPI updater doesn’t know about the ‘openmpi’ input of
‘python-mpi4py’ so it would remove it.
This is addressed in v2 of this patch series, along with other
improvements (changes since v1):
• honors ‘updater-extra-inputs’ and ‘updater-ignored-inputs’ package
properties (and similarly for native and propagated inputs);
• add those properties to a few packages;
• ‘cran’ updater keeps inputs alphabetically sorted;
• ‘gem’ updater now updates inputs as well.
Surely this will reveal limitations of updaters/importers but I’d like
to see it as an opportunity to improve them; more importantly, we have
to reduce the maintenance cost of all these imported packages, and this
is a step in that direction.
If there are no objections, I’d like to apply this series within a few
days.
Feedback welcome!
Ludo’.
