Subject: bootstrap phase attempts to run a directory
Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2018 23:50:08 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I've just noticed that the erlang package has started failing to
build. It looks like the bootstrap phase is over eager, and attempts to
run the bootstrap directory.

I think I'll fix this by deleting the phase, when I get around to
merging the changes in #31678, but this might be affecting other
packages, or possible to sure up so it doesn't break under this
circumstance.

That’s probably the right thing to do.  The new ‘bootstrap’ phase
introduced in core-updates would run anything called ‘bootstrap’, but it
doesn’t check whether that thing is a directory…

If this is a single occurrence, then I agree this is the way to go, but I
would
make a mental note to fix this in the phase, if this turn out to be more
widespread.

ocaml-build also has this issue.

Nevermind, it's not (yet) part of guix :)
