build-system/gnu: Add `dist-package'.
* guix/build/gnu-dist.scm: New file.
* Makefile.am (MODULES): Add it.
* guix/build-system/gnu.scm (%default-modules): New variable.
(gnu-build): Use it.
(dist-package): New procedure.
packages: Allow file names as package sources.
* guix/packages.scm (package-source-derivation): Add cases for SOURCE as
a store path or user file.
* tests/packages.scm ("package-source-derivation, file",
"package-source-derivation, store path"): New tests.
utils: Add `guile-version>?', and use it.
This fixes Guile version comparisons when (version) has a
vendor-specific suffix.
Reported by Andreas Enge <andreas@enge.fr>.
* guix/utils.scm (guile-version>?): New procedure.
* tests/utils.scm ("guile-version>? 1.8", "guile-version>? 10.5"): New
tests.
* guix/scripts/substitute-binary.scm (fetch, progress-report-port): Use
`guile-version>?' instead of `version>?'.
* guix/http-client.scm (when-guile<=2.0.5, http-fetch): Likewise.
substitute-binary: Try hard to avoid port buffering.
* guix/scripts/substitute-binary.scm (fetch): In the `file' case, open
with the `b' flag, so that the coding cookie reading thing doesn't
lead to buffering some of the data (on 2.0.5).
* tests/utils.scm ("filtered-port, file"): Open with `r0b'. Fixes a
test failure with Guile 2.0.5 whereby the first byte of FILE would be
missing from DECOMPRESSED.
substitute-binary: Don't pretend to report download progress on Guile 2.0.5.
* guix/scripts/substitute-binary.scm (progress-report-port): On Guile
2.0.5, return PORT directly and emit a warning.
Make "guix -h" work as "guix --help".
* guix/ui.scm (guix-main): have the same behaviour for the "-h" and "--help"
options.
guix package: Allow separate install of several outputs of the same package.
* guix/scripts/package.scm (guix-package)[process-actions](same-package?):
New procedure. Use it instead of `alist-delete' when filtering out
duplicate packages from the profile.
Rename (guix web) to (guix http-client).
* guix/web.scm: Rename to...
* guix/http-client.scm: ... this.
* guix/gnu-maintenance.scm, guix/scripts/substitute-binary.scm,
Makefile.am, po/POTFILES.in: Update accordingly.
guix package: Fix handling of `-e'.
This fixes a bug whereby a command like
guix package -e '(@@ (gnu packages base) gnu-make-boot0)'
would only succeed when the outputs of that package are available, and
otherwise fail with "/nix/store/... is not valid".
* guix/scripts/package.scm (guix-package)[process-action](package->tuple):
Leave P as is in the result. Move `package->tuple' call from INSTALL*
to INSTALL.
ui: Ignore SIGPIPE and catch `system-error' exceptions.
* guix/ui.scm (initialize-guix): Call `sigaction'.
(call-with-error-handling): Wrap `thunk' in a (catch 'system-error ...).
guix package: Reuse FTP connections for subsequent `latest-release' calls.
* guix/gnu-maintenance.scm (latest-release): Add `ftp-close' and
`ftp-open' keyword parameters.
* guix/scripts/package.scm (ftp-open*): New variable.
(check-package-freshness): Call `latest-release' with `ftp-open*' and
a no-op procedure.
gnu-maintenance: `latest-release' closes its connection.
* guix/gnu-maintenance.scm (latest-release): Close CONN before
returning.
substitute-binary: Directly replace the global `regexp-exec'.
* guix/scripts/substitute-binary.scm (%regexp-exec-mutex, string->uri):
Remove.
(regexp-exec): Replace this global binding by a thread-safety wrapper.
(fields->alist): Remove `with-mutex', and directly alias `recutils->alist'.
substitute-binary: Increase the default timeout.
* guix/scripts/substitute-binary.scm (%fetch-timeout): Set to 5 seconds.
guix refresh: Keep only the newest versions of packages as upgrade candidates.
* guix/scripts/refresh.scm (guix-refresh)[keep-newest]: New procedure.
Use it to keep only once copy of each package.
gnu-maintenance: Add `doc-description' field to <gnu-package-descriptor>.
* guix/gnu-maintenance.scm (%gsrc-package-list-url): New variable.
(<gnu-package-descriptor>): Add `doc-description' field.
(official-gnu-packages)[group-package-fields]: Rename to...
[read-records]: ... this. Reverse the result.
[gsrc-description]: New procedure.
Add the "description" field to the alist passed to `alist->record'.
records: `recutils->alist' recognizes lines starting with a `+'.
* guix/records.scm (%recutils-plus-rx): New variable.
(recutils->alist): Use it to read + lines.
* tests/records.scm ("recutils->alist with + lines"): New test.
gnu-maintenance: Use `recutils->alist'.
* guix/gnu-maintenance.scm (official-gnu-packages)[group-package-fields]:
Rewrite in terms of `recutils->alist'. Remove `state' parameter.
Specify "doc-url" and "language" as multiple-value keys in the
`alist->record' call.
records: `alist->record' supports multiple-field occurrences.
* guix/records.scm (alist->record): Add `multiple-value-keys'
parameter. Update docstring, and honor it.
* tests/records.scm ("alist->record"): New record.
records: `recutils->alist' recognizes comments.
* guix/records.scm (%recutils-comment-rx): New variable.
(recutils->alist): Match comments.
* tests/records.scm ("recutils->alist"): Add comments.
