Subject: [PATCH v2]: Correct some inputs / native-inputs issues with guile
Date: Sat, 20 Mar 2021 22:45:47 +0100

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

Hi Guix,

The first patch ‘gnu: Explicitely pass the guile binary to wrap-script.’
does what it say what it does.  This is important for picking up the guile
binary for the architecture in --target instead of the guile from native-inputs.

(The unpatched & patched package definitions do not have a guile native-input,
so before this patch they wouldn't pick up a guile at all -- packages in inputs
do not contribute to the $PATH when cross-compiling.)

The second patch ‘gnu: Make guile packages cross-compilable when the fix is trivial.’
only touches guile libraries.  It adds guile to the native-inputs when required,
sometimes it adds guile to inputs and sometimes it copies propagated-inputs & inputs
to native-inputs when cross-compiling.  It also fixes some other cross-compilations
issues like autoconf being in inputs instead of native-inputs.

The second patch only touches gnu/packages/guile-xyz.scm; other packages are ignored.
Also ignored are: emacsy-minimal (there have been patches and/or bug reports lately)
guile-bash (retired project) and guile-studio (it is an Emacs package).
