[PATCH] gnu: mpc-boot: Use gmp-boot and mpfr-boot as dependencies |
Date: |
Wed, 4 Aug 2021 19:16:41 -0300 |
MPC 1.0 is incompatible with current versions of GMP and MPFR so use the
older ‘gmp-boot’ and ‘mpfr-boot’ packages as dependencies.
* gnu/packages/commencement.scm (mpc-boot)[propagated-inputs]: Add gmp-boot
and mpfr-boot.

Hello,
This fixes the build of mpc-boot on powerpc64le-linux on both master
and core-updates-frozen. The patch applies cleanly on both branches.
I believe it will also do the same for x86_64-linux and i686-linux but
I wasn’t able to verify because guix was consuming too much memory for
my laptop.
I’ve been suggesting that these patches for gmp-boot, mpfr-boot and
mpc-boot be applied to the master branch because
`guix refresh -l $PACKAGE` shows that there are no dependants on these
packages. But it just occurred to me that perhaps this may be a
limitation in ‘guix refresh’?

Awesome, pushed as b417dde293080184dae9098e408849a237903a84.

That comes from commit 37861f6c293d7ed1033050b2b0597885ba65186f. The
motivation was to ensure that substitutes for these intermediate
packages would be available on the ci.guix front-end node. Failing to
do that, Cuirass would not attempt fetch them from build nodes on the
front-end node.
Sorry that this caused a false alarm!
Thanks,
Ludo’.
