Subject: bug#44025: haunt incompatible with package guix
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2020 00:21:46 +0200

Dear,

Is it possible to keep the compatibility between the package ’haunt’ and
the package ’guix’?  Otherwise, building guix-artwork/website takes
ages, raises a lot of warnings… and makes me unhappy. :-)

The issue is that haunt is currently built with guile <at> 3.0.2 and the
package ’guix’ with guile <at> 3.0.4.  Therefore, ’haunt build’ claims:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;; WARNING: loading compiled file /gnu/store/jkxwzw8dimbmbqqy12744wr3n2vxclnv-profile/lib/guile/3.0/site-ccache/guix/ci.go failed:
;;; In procedure load-thunk-from-memory: incompatible bytecode version
;;; WARNING: loading compiled file /home/simon/.config/guix/profiles/emacs/emacs/lib/guile/3.0/site-ccache/guix/ci.go failed:

;;; WARNING: loading compiled file /home/simon/.config/guix/profiles/emacs/emacs/lib/guile/3.0/site-ccache/guix/ci.go failed:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


The easy fixes is to replace “guile-3.0’ by ’guile-3.0-latest’ in the
inputs of ’haunt’.  However, ‘guix build haunt’ says:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

and

ending with “successfully built /gnu/store/p088xcmwksb8gkkqiwzwc3v9r3cmjnrs-haunt-0.2.4.drv” and an
apparently working haunt –– at least the website builds without warning
and seems rendering correctly.


Well, does it make sense to drag gnu/packages/package-management.scm in
guile-xyz.scm? and then replace with something like:

    (inputs
     `(("guile" ,@(assoc-ref (package-native-inputs guix) "guile"))))


Or create a haunt variant named ’haunt-guix’ keeping the compatibility?


Since I am not a haunt user, I do not have an opinion.


All the best,
simon

PS:
I am locally building the website time to time when hacking on the file
’sources.json’ used by SWH.
