[PATCH 0/5] Download the Guile bootstrap tarball via a derivation |
|
Date: |
Thu, 27 Jul 2017 16:52:50 +0200 |
Hello,
In Nov. 2016 we added the "download" built-in builder, meaning that the
daemon can perform downloads on behalf of clients:
https://bugs.gnu.org/22774
This patch series is a followup:
1. It removes backward-compatibility code in (guix download), thereby
assuming guix-daemon supports the "download" built-in builder.
2. It downloads the Guile bootstrap tarball via a fixed-output
derivation, and thus removes the Makefile targets that were
responsible for downloading this until now.
With this change, bootstrapping is somewhat simplified since now
(almost) everything is a derivation. The Guile bootstrap tarballs for
the supported architectures no longer need to be installed, which saves
14 MiB on the installed ‘guix’ package:

After that we still have a few statically-linked binaries in
gnu/packages/bootstrap. Perhaps we’ll remove them eventually by adding
an “extract” builder or similar.
These patches are for the next ‘core-updates’.
Ludo’.
Ludovic Courtès (5):
download: Assume the "download" built-in builder is available.
gnu: guile-bootstrap: Use a fixed-output derivation to download.
gnu: bootstrap: Prefer HTTPS for downloads.
build: Remove code to download the Guile bootstrap tarball.
gnu: guix: Factorize downloads of bootstrap tarball.

Pushed to a brand new ‘core-updates’ branch!
