Hello Guix!
This is the continuation of the season cleanup! These patches
adjust <lowered-gexp> to refer to <derivation-input>.
More importantly, they change the calling convention of the
‘derivation’ primitive such that #:inputs must be a list
of <derivation-input>, and a new #:sources parameter must be
used to pass “sources” (content-addressed files added to the
store with the ‘add-to-store’ RPC or similar.) This replaces
the former weird tuples used as #:inputs. The weird tuples
are still allowed but deprecated.
There are few users of ‘derivation’ and ‘raw-derivation’. One
of them is ‘build-expression->derivation’, which I hope to
officially deprecate soonish in favor of ‘gexp->derivation’; in
the meantime, it still uses the deprecated calling convention
but deprecation warnings are disabled in this case.
Eventually, we’ll be able to build <derivation> entirely in
memory, which would allow us to create .drv files in the store
at once (maybe with RPC pipelining), or to not create them
at all. We’ll see…
Feedback welcome!
Ludo’.
