GNU Guix@footnote{``Guix'' is pronounced like ``geeks'', or ``ɡiːks''
|
|
|
|
|
using the international phonetic alphabet (IPA).} is a functional
|
|
|
|
|
package management tool for the GNU system. Package management consists
|
2013-05-26 23:01:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
of all activities that relate to building packages from sources,
|
|
|
|
|
honoring their build-time and run-time dependencies,
|
2012-11-25 14:30:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
installing packages in user environments, upgrading installed packages
|
|
|
|
|
to new versions or rolling back to a previous set, removing unused
|
|
|
|
|
software packages, etc.

@cindex functional package management
|
|
|
|
|
The term @dfn{functional} refers to a specific package management
|
2015-10-29 10:18:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
discipline pioneered by Nix (@pxref{Acknowledgments}).
|
|
|
|
|
In Guix, the package build and installation process is seen
|
2013-05-26 23:01:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
as a function, in the mathematical sense. That function takes inputs,
|
|
|
|
|
such as build scripts, a compiler, and libraries, and
|
|
|
|
|
returns an installed package. As a pure function, its result depends
|
2012-10-13 14:05:01 +00:00
|
|
|
|
solely on its inputs---for instance, it cannot refer to software or
|
|
|
|
|
scripts that were not explicitly passed as inputs. A build function
|
2013-05-26 23:01:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
always produces the same result when passed a given set of inputs. It
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
cannot alter the environment of the running system in
|
2012-10-13 14:05:01 +00:00
|
|
|
|
any way; for instance, it cannot create, modify, or delete files outside
|
|
|
|
|
of its build and installation directories. This is achieved by running
|
2013-11-18 21:07:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
build processes in isolated environments (or @dfn{containers}), where only their
|
2013-05-26 23:01:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
explicit inputs are visible.
|
2012-10-13 14:05:01 +00:00

|
@cindex store
|
2012-10-13 14:05:01 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The result of package build functions is @dfn{cached} in the file
|
2013-01-15 22:32:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
system, in a special directory called @dfn{the store} (@pxref{The
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Store}). Each package is installed in a directory of its own in the
|
2014-03-09 21:09:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
store---by default under @file{/gnu/store}. The directory name contains
|
2012-10-13 14:05:01 +00:00
|
|
|
|
a hash of all the inputs used to build that package; thus, changing an
|
|
|
|
|
input yields a different directory name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This approach is the foundation for the salient features of Guix: support
|
|
|
|
|
for transactional package upgrade and rollback, per-user installation, and
|
2012-11-07 18:24:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
garbage collection of packages (@pxref{Features}).
|
2012-10-13 14:05:01 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2013-05-26 23:01:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Guix has a command-line interface, which allows users to build, install,
|
2012-10-13 14:05:01 +00:00
|
|
|
|
upgrade, and remove packages, as well as a Scheme programming interface.

Last but not least, Guix is used to build a distribution of the GNU
|
2015-01-23 09:15:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
system, with many GNU and non-GNU free software packages. The Guix
|
2015-05-12 08:07:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
System Distribution, or GNU@tie{}GuixSD, takes advantage of the core
|
|
|
|
|
properties of Guix at the system level. With GuixSD, users
|
2015-01-23 09:15:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@emph{declare} all aspects of the operating system configuration, and
|
|
|
|
|
Guix takes care of instantiating that configuration in a reproducible,
|
|
|
|
|
stateless fashion. @xref{GNU Distribution}.

@section Binary Installation
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
This section describes how to install Guix on an arbitrary system from a
|
|
|
|
|
self-contained tarball providing binaries for Guix and for all its
|
|
|
|
|
dependencies. This is often quicker than installing from source, which
|
|
|
|
|
is described in the next sections. The only requirement is to have
|
|
|
|
|
GNU@tie{}tar and Xz.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing goes along these lines:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@enumerate
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
|
Download the binary tarball from
|
2016-01-01 18:01:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@indicateurl{ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-@value{VERSION}.@var{system}.tar.xz},
|
|
|
|
|
where @var{system} is @code{x86_64-linux} for an @code{x86_64} machine
|
|
|
|
|
already running the kernel Linux, and so on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure to download the associated @file{.sig} file and to verify the
|
|
|
|
|
authenticity of the tarball against it, along these lines:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ wget ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-@value{VERSION}.@var{system}.tar.xz.sig
|
|
|
|
|
$ gpg --verify guix-binary-@value{VERSION}.@var{system}.tar.xz.sig
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
If that command fails because you do not have the required public key,
|
2016-01-01 18:01:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
then run this command to import it:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 3D9AEBB5
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
|
and rerun the @code{gpg --verify} command.
|
2015-04-15 21:25:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
|
As @code{root}, run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2015-06-08 21:31:02 +00:00
|
|
|
|
# cd /tmp
|
2015-07-22 21:34:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
# tar --warning=no-timestamp -xf \
|
|
|
|
|
guix-binary-@value{VERSION}.@var{system}.tar.xz
|
2015-06-08 21:31:02 +00:00
|
|
|
|
# mv var/guix /var/ && mv gnu /
|
2015-04-15 21:25:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-06-08 21:25:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This creates @file{/gnu/store} (@pxref{The Store}) and @file{/var/guix}.
|
|
|
|
|
The latter contains a ready-to-use profile for @code{root} (see next
|
|
|
|
|
step.)
|
2015-04-15 21:25:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2015-04-18 20:53:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Do @emph{not} unpack the tarball on a working Guix system since that
|
|
|
|
|
would overwrite its own essential files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-07-22 21:34:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The @code{--warning=no-timestamp} option makes sure GNU@tie{}tar does
|
2015-07-23 23:07:34 +00:00
|
|
|
|
not emit warnings about ``implausibly old time stamps'' (such
|
|
|
|
|
warnings were triggered by GNU@tie{}tar 1.26 and older; recent
|
|
|
|
|
versions are fine.)
|
|
|
|
|
They stem from the fact that all the
|
2015-07-22 21:34:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
files in the archive have their modification time set to zero (which
|
|
|
|
|
means January 1st, 1970.) This is done on purpose to make sure the
|
|
|
|
|
archive content is independent of its creation time, thus making it
|
|
|
|
|
reproducible.

2015-06-08 21:25:51 +00:00

|
2015-04-15 21:25:04 +00:00

@item
|
|
|
|
|
Make the @command{guix} command available to other users on the machine,
|
|
|
|
|
for instance with:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
# mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
|
|
|
|
|
# cd /usr/local/bin
|
2015-05-17 21:37:53 +00:00
|
|
|
|
# ln -s /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/bin/guix

2015-04-15 21:25:04 +00:00
|

|
|
|
|
|
2016-01-20 23:20:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
It is also a good idea to make the Info version of this manual available
|
|
|
|
|
there:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
# mkdir -p /usr/local/share/info
|
|
|
|
|
# cd /usr/local/share/info
|
|
|
|
|
# for i in /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/share/info/* ;
|
|
|
|
|
do ln -s $i ; done
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That way, assuming @file{/usr/local/share/info} is in the search path,
|
|
|
|
|
running @command{info guix} will open this manual (@pxref{Other Info
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
Info search path.)

To use substitutes from @code{hydra.gnu.org} (@pxref{Substitutes}),
|
|
|
|
|
authorize them:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2015-06-08 21:25:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
# guix archive --authorize < ~root/.guix-profile/share/guix/hydra.gnu.org.pub
|
2015-05-04 12:31:00 +00:00
|
|

The @code{guix} package must remain available in @code{root}'s
|
2015-04-15 21:25:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
profile, or it would become subject to garbage collection---in which

|
|

case you would find yourself badly handicapped by the lack of the

@command{guix} command.

build procedure for Guix is the same as for other GNU software, and is

When a working installation of @url{http://nixos.org/nix/, the Nix package
|
|
|
|
|
manager} is available, you
|
2013-01-09 11:58:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
can instead configure Guix with @code{--disable-daemon}. In that case,
|
2013-05-26 23:01:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Nix replaces the three dependencies above.
|
2013-01-09 11:58:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2013-01-11 15:16:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Guix is compatible with Nix, so it is possible to share the same store
|
|
|
|
|
between both. To do so, you must pass @command{configure} not only the
|
|
|
|
|
same @code{--with-store-dir} value, but also the same
|
2013-05-26 23:01:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{--localstatedir} value. The latter is essential because it
|
|
|
|
|
specifies where the database that stores metadata about the store is
|
2014-03-09 21:09:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
located, among other things. The default values for Nix are

After a successful @command{configure} and @code{make} run, it is a good
|
|
|
|
|
idea to run the test suite. It can help catch issues with the setup or
|
|
|
|
|
environment, or bugs in Guix itself---and really, reporting test
|
|
|
|
|
failures is a good way to help improve the software. To run the test
|
|
|
|
|
suite, type:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
make check
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Test cases can run in parallel: you can use the @code{-j} option of
|
|
|
|
|
GNU@tie{}make to speed things up. The first run may take a few minutes
|
|
|
|
|
on a recent machine; subsequent runs will be faster because the store
|
|
|
|
|
that is created for test purposes will already have various things in
|
|
|
|
|
cache.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-01-18 09:38:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to run a subset of the tests by defining the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{TESTS} makefile variable as in this example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
make check TESTS="tests/store.scm tests/cpio.scm"
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|

|
|
|
|
2015-03-19 21:40:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Upon failure, please email @email{bug-guix@@gnu.org} and attach the
|
|
|
|
|
@file{test-suite.log} file. When @file{tests/@var{something}.scm}
|
|
|
|
|
fails, please also attach the @file{@var{something}.log} file available
|
|
|
|
|
in the top-level build directory. Please specify the Guix version being

behalf of clients. Only the daemon may access the store and its

* guix-build.in, guix-download.in, guix-gc.in, guix-import.in,
guix-package.in: Remove shell script boilerplate. Move to guix-COMMAND.in
to guix/scripts/COMMAND.scm. Rename module from (guix-COMMAND) to
(guix scripts COMMAND). Change "guix-COMMAND" to "guix COMMAND" in
usage help string.
* pre-inst-env.in: Add "@abs_top_builddir@/scripts" to the front of $PATH.
Export $GUIX_UNINSTALLED.
* tests/guix-build.sh, tests/guix-daemon.sh, tests/guix-download.sh,

@subsection Build Environment Setup
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-01-09 11:58:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
In a standard multi-user setup, Guix and its daemon---the
|
|
|
|
|
@command{guix-daemon} program---are installed by the system
|
2014-03-09 21:09:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
administrator; @file{/gnu/store} is owned by @code{root} and
|
2013-01-09 11:58:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@command{guix-daemon} runs as @code{root}. Unprivileged users may use
|
|
|
|
|
Guix tools to build packages or otherwise access the store, and the
|
|
|
|
|
daemon will do it on their behalf, ensuring that the store is kept in a
|
|
|
|
|
consistent state, and allowing built packages to be shared among users.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex build users
|
|
|
|
|
When @command{guix-daemon} runs as @code{root}, you may not want package
|
|
|
|
|
build processes themselves to run as @code{root} too, for obvious
|
|
|
|
|
security reasons. To avoid that, a special pool of @dfn{build users}
|
|
|
|
|
should be created for use by build processes started by the daemon.
|
|
|
|
|
These build users need not have a shell and a home directory: they will
|
|
|
|
|
just be used when the daemon drops @code{root} privileges in build
|
|
|
|
|
processes. Having several such users allows the daemon to launch
|
|
|
|
|
distinct build processes under separate UIDs, which guarantees that they
|
|
|
|
|
do not interfere with each other---an essential feature since builds are
|
|
|
|
|
regarded as pure functions (@pxref{Introduction}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On a GNU/Linux system, a build user pool may be created like this (using
|
|
|
|
|
Bash syntax and the @code{shadow} commands):

(@pxref{Invoking guix-daemon, @option{--max-jobs}}). The

|
2015-11-26 16:07:51 +00:00
|

@command{guix-daemon} is automatically started. Similarly, if your

|

the @code{guixbuilder} users. On GNU/Linux, by default, the chroot

You can influence the directory where the daemon stores build trees
|
|
|
|
|
@i{via} the @code{TMPDIR} environment variable. However, the build tree
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
within the chroot is always called @file{/tmp/guix-build-@var{name}.drv-0},
|
2015-12-02 13:59:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
where @var{name} is the derivation name---e.g., @code{coreutils-8.24}.
|
|
|
|
|
This way, the value of @code{TMPDIR} does not leak inside build
|
|
|
|
|
environments, which avoids discrepancies in cases where build processes
|
|
|
|
|
capture the name of their build tree.

2016-01-18 14:28:30 +00:00
|
|

|
@vindex http_proxy
|
|
|
|
|
The daemon also honors the @code{http_proxy} environment variable for
|
|
|
|
|
HTTP downloads it performs, be it for fixed-output derivations
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Derivations}) or for substitutes (@pxref{Substitutes}).

|
|
|
|
2015-05-27 15:41:55 +00:00

|
|
If you are installing Guix as an unprivileged user, it is still possible
|
|
|
|
|
to run @command{guix-daemon} provided you pass @code{--disable-chroot}.
|
|
|
|
|
However, build processes will not be isolated from one another, and not
|
|
|
|
|
from the rest of the system. Thus, build processes may interfere with
|
|
|
|
|
each other, and may access programs, libraries, and other files
|
|
|
|
|
available on the system---making it much harder to view them as
|
|
|
|
|
@emph{pure} functions.

The user account to use when connecting to the remote machine over SSH.

2015-07-09 08:47:02 +00:00
|
|

Currently offloading uses GNU@tie{}lsh as its SSH client
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Invoking lsh,,, GNU lsh Manual}). Thus, the key file here must
|
|
|
|
|
be an lsh key file. This may change in the future, though.

|
2014-01-23 22:48:34 +00:00

|
|
default.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item speed
|
|
|

A ``relative speed factor''. The offload scheduler will tend to prefer

|
|
|
|
machines with a higher speed factor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item features
|
|
|
|
|
A list of strings denoting specific features supported by the machine.
|
|
|
|
|
An example is @code{"kvm"} for machines that have the KVM Linux modules
|
|
|
|
|
and corresponding hardware support. Derivations can request features by
|
|
|
|
|
name, and they will be scheduled on matching build machines.

|
|

The @code{guix} command must be in the search path on the build
|
|
|
|
|
machines, since offloading works by invoking the @code{guix archive} and
|
2015-07-09 08:47:02 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{guix build} commands. In addition, the Guix modules must be in
|
|
|
|
|
@code{$GUILE_LOAD_PATH} on the build machine---you can check whether
|
|
|
|
|
this is the case by running:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2016-01-24 22:25:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
lsh build-machine guile -c "'(use-modules (guix config))'"

|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
There is one last thing to do once @file{machines.scm} is in place. As
|
2014-01-23 22:48:34 +00:00
|
|
|
|
explained above, when offloading, files are transferred back and forth
|
2015-07-09 08:47:02 +00:00
|
|
|
|
between the machine stores. For this to work, you first need to
|
|
|
|
|
generate a key pair on each machine to allow the daemon to export signed
|
|
|
|
|
archives of files from the store (@pxref{Invoking guix archive}):
|
2014-01-23 22:48:34 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
# guix archive --generate-key
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
2015-07-09 08:47:02 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Each build machine must authorize the key of the master machine so that
|
|
|
|
|
it accepts store items it receives from the master:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
# guix archive --authorize < master-public-key.txt
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
|
Likewise, the master machine must authorize the key of each build machine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All the fuss with keys is here to express pairwise mutual trust
|
|
|
|
|
relations between the master and the build machines. Concretely, when
|
|
|
|
|
the master receives files from a build machine (and @i{vice versa}), its
|
|
|
|
|
build daemon can make sure they are genuine, have not been tampered
|
|
|
|
|
with, and that they are signed by an authorized key.

The @command{guix-daemon} program implements all the functionality to
|
|
|
|
|
access the store. This includes launching build processes, running the
|
|
|
|
|
garbage collector, querying the availability of a build result, etc. It
|
|
|
|
|
is normally run as @code{root} like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example

2015-05-17 22:03:43 +00:00
|

By default, @command{guix-daemon} launches build processes under
|
|
|
|
|
different UIDs, taken from the build group specified with
|
|
|
|
|
@code{--build-users-group}. In addition, each build process is run in a
|
|
|
|
|
chroot environment that only contains the subset of the store that the
|
|
|
|
|
build process depends on, as specified by its derivation
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Programming Interface, derivation}), plus a set of specific
|
|
|
|
|
system directories. By default, the latter contains @file{/dev} and
|
2013-11-18 21:07:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@file{/dev/pts}. Furthermore, on GNU/Linux, the build environment is a
|
|
|
|
|
@dfn{container}: in addition to having its own file system tree, it has
|
|
|
|
|
a separate mount name space, its own PID name space, network name space,
|
|
|
|
|
etc. This helps achieve reproducible builds (@pxref{Features}).
|
2013-01-09 11:58:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2015-02-07 17:32:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
When the daemon performs a build on behalf of the user, it creates a
|
|
|
|
|
build directory under @file{/tmp} or under the directory specified by
|
|
|
|
|
its @code{TMPDIR} environment variable; this directory is shared with
|
|
|
|
|
the container for the duration of the build. Be aware that using a
|
|
|
|
|
directory other than @file{/tmp} can affect build results---for example,
|
|
|
|
|
with a longer directory name, a build process that uses Unix-domain
|
|
|
|
|
sockets might hit the name length limitation for @code{sun_path}, which
|
|
|
|
|
it would otherwise not hit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The build directory is automatically deleted upon completion, unless the
|
|
|
|
|
build failed and the client specified @option{--keep-failed}
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Invoking guix build, @option{--keep-failed}}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-01-09 11:58:27 +00:00

By default substitutes are used, unless the client---such as the
|
|
|
|

@command{guix package} command---is explicitly invoked with
|
|
|
|
|
@code{--no-substitutes}.
|
|
|

|
Do not use the @dfn{build hook}.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The build hook is a helper program that the daemon can start and to

which it submits build requests. This mechanism is used to offload
|
|
|
|
|
builds to other machines (@pxref{Daemon Offload Setup}).

When this option is used, @command{guix gc --list-failures} can be used
|
|
|
|

The effect is to define the @code{NIX_BUILD_CORES} environment variable
|
|
|
|

in the build process, which can then use it to exploit internal

2014-11-25 21:32:26 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{1}. Setting it to @code{0} means that no builds will be performed
|
|
|

locally; instead, the daemon will offload builds (@pxref{Daemon Offload

and not otherwise. For that reason, it is not recommended to do so.

Instead, make sure that each derivation declares all the inputs that it

|
|
|
2013-01-16 11:23:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Unless @code{--lose-logs} is used, all the build logs are kept in the
|
|
|
|
|
@var{localstatedir}. To save space, the daemon automatically compresses
|
|
|
|
|
them with bzip2 by default. This option disables that.

Disable automatic file ``deduplication'' in the store.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-01-16 11:23:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
By default, files added to the store are automatically ``deduplicated'':
|
2014-08-31 12:29:09 +00:00
|
|
|
|
if a newly added file is identical to another one found in the store,
|
|
|
|
|
the daemon makes the new file a hard link to the other file. This can
|
2015-08-02 20:24:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
noticeably reduce disk usage, at the expense of slightly increased
|
2014-08-31 12:29:09 +00:00
|
|
|
|
input/output load at the end of a build process. This option disables
|
|
|
|
|
this optimization.

@item --gc-keep-outputs[=yes|no]
|
|
|
|
|
Tell whether the garbage collector (GC) must keep outputs of live
|
|
|
|
|
derivations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When set to ``yes'', the GC will keep the outputs of any live derivation
|
|
|
|
|
available in the store---the @code{.drv} files. The default is ``no'',
|
|
|
|
|
meaning that derivation outputs are kept only if they are GC roots.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --gc-keep-derivations[=yes|no]
|
|
|
|
|
Tell whether the garbage collector (GC) must keep derivations
|
|
|
|
|
corresponding to live outputs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When set to ``yes'', as is the case by default, the GC keeps
|
|
|
|
|
derivations---i.e., @code{.drv} files---as long as at least one of their
|
|
|
|
|
outputs is live. This allows users to keep track of the origins of
|
|
|
|
|
items in their store. Setting it to ``no'' saves a bit of disk space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that when both @code{--gc-keep-derivations} and
|
|
|
|
|
@code{--gc-keep-outputs} are used, the effect is to keep all the build
|
|
|
|
|
prerequisites (the sources, compiler, libraries, and other build-time
|
|
|
|
|
tools) of live objects in the store, regardless of whether these
|
|
|
|
|
prerequisites are live. This is convenient for developers since it
|
|
|
|
|
saves rebuilds or downloads.

@item --impersonate-linux-2.6
|
|
|
|
|
On Linux-based systems, impersonate Linux 2.6. This means that the
|
|
|
|
|
kernel's @code{uname} system call will report 2.6 as the release number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This might be helpful to build programs that (usually wrongfully) depend
|
|
|
|
|
on the kernel version number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --lose-logs
|
|
|
|
|
Do not keep build logs. By default they are kept under

2014-08-15 05:16:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{@var{localstatedir}/guix/log}.

Assume @var{system} as the current system type. By default it is the

|
|
architecture/kernel pair found at configure time, such as
|
|
|
|
|
@code{x86_64-linux}.

@item --listen=@var{socket}
|
|
|

|
Listen for connections on @var{socket}, the file name of a Unix-domain
|
|
|
|
|
socket. The default socket is
|
|
|
|
|
@file{@var{localstatedir}/daemon-socket/socket}. This option is only
|
|
|
|
|
useful in exceptional circumstances, such as if you need to run several

|
|
|
daemons on the same machine.

When using Guix on top of GNU/Linux distribution other than GuixSD---a
|
|
|
|
|
so-called @dfn{foreign distro}---a few additional steps are needed to
|
|
|
|
|
get everything in place. Here are some of them.
|
2015-06-22 20:44:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|

@subsection Locales
|
|

|
|

|
@cindex locales, when not on GuixSD

2015-09-24 19:02:35 +00:00

|
@vindex LOCPATH
|
2015-10-01 19:32:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@vindex GUIX_LOCPATH
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Packages installed @i{via} Guix will not use the locale data of the
|
|
|
|
|
host system. Instead, you must first install one of the locale packages
|
2015-10-01 19:32:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
available with Guix and then define the @code{GUIX_LOCPATH} environment
|
|
|
|
|
variable:
|
2015-06-22 20:44:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ guix package -i glibc-locales
|
2015-10-01 19:32:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
$ export GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale
|
2015-06-22 20:44:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the @code{glibc-locales} package contains data for all the
|
|
|
|
|
locales supported by the GNU@tie{}libc and weighs in at around
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
110@tie{}MiB. Alternatively, the @code{glibc-utf8-locales} is smaller but
|
2015-06-22 20:44:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
limited to a few UTF-8 locales.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-10-01 19:32:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The @code{GUIX_LOCPATH} variable plays a role similar to @code{LOCPATH}
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Locale Names, @code{LOCPATH},, libc, The GNU C Library Reference
|
|
|
|
|
Manual}). There are two important differences though:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@enumerate
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{GUIX_LOCPATH} is honored only by the libc in Guix, and not by the libc
|
2015-10-01 19:32:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
provided by foreign distros. Thus, using @code{GUIX_LOCPATH} allows you
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
to make sure the programs of the foreign distro will not end up loading
|
2015-10-01 19:32:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
incompatible locale data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
|
libc suffixes each entry of @code{GUIX_LOCPATH} with @code{/X.Y}, where
|
|
|
|
|
@code{X.Y} is the libc version---e.g., @code{2.22}. This means that,
|
|
|
|
|
should your Guix profile contain a mixture of programs linked against
|
|
|
|
|
different libc version, each libc version will only try to load locale
|
|
|
|
|
data in the right format.
|
|
|
|
|
@end enumerate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is important because the locale data format used by different libc
|
|
|
|
|
versions may be incompatible.

@subsection X11 Fonts
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-08-02 20:24:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The majority of graphical applications use Fontconfig to locate and
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
load fonts and perform X11-client-side rendering. The @code{fontconfig}
|
|
|
|
|
package in Guix looks for fonts in @file{$HOME/.guix-profile}
|
2015-06-22 20:44:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
by default. Thus, to allow graphical applications installed with Guix
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
to display fonts, you have to install fonts with Guix as well.
|
2015-06-22 20:44:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Essential font packages include @code{gs-fonts}, @code{font-dejavu}, and
|
2015-07-23 23:23:53 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{font-gnu-freefont-ttf}.
|
2015-06-22 20:44:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2015-11-19 16:22:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
To display text written in Chinese languages, Japanese, or Korean in
|
|
|
|
|
graphical applications, consider installing
|
|
|
|
|
@code{font-adobe-source-han-sans} or @code{font-wqy-zenhei}. The former
|
|
|
|
|
has multiple outputs, one per language family (@pxref{Packages with
|
|
|
|
|
Multiple Outputs}). For instance, the following command installs fonts
|
|
|
|
|
for Chinese languages:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix package -i font-adobe-source-han-sans:cn
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-12-31 22:37:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@subsection Emacs Packages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you install Emacs packages with Guix, the elisp files may be placed
|
|
|
|
|
either in @file{$HOME/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/} or in
|
|
|
|
|
sub-directories of
|
|
|
|
|
@file{$HOME/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/guix.d/}. The latter
|
|
|
|
|
directory exists because potentially there may exist thousands of Emacs
|
|
|
|
|
packages and storing all their files in a single directory may be not
|
|
|
|
|
reliable (because of name conflicts). So we think using a separate
|
|
|
|
|
directory for each package is a good idea. It is very similar to how
|
|
|
|
|
the Emacs package system organizes the file structure (@pxref{Package
|
|
|
|
|
Files,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, Emacs (installed with Guix) ``knows'' where these packages
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
are placed, so you do not need to perform any configuration. If, for
|
2015-12-31 22:37:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
some reason, you want to avoid auto-loading Emacs packages installed
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
with Guix, you can do so by running Emacs with @code{--no-site-file}
|
2015-12-31 22:37:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
option (@pxref{Init File,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}).

The purpose of GNU Guix is to allow users to easily install, upgrade, and
|
2012-11-07 18:24:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
remove software packages, without having to know about their build
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
procedures or dependencies. Guix also goes beyond this obvious set of
|
2012-11-07 18:24:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
features.
|
|
|
|

This chapter describes the main features of Guix, as well as the package

2014-11-07 20:32:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
management tools it provides. Two user interfaces are provided for
|
2015-08-13 17:16:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
routine package management tasks: A command-line interface described below

When using Guix, each package ends up in the @dfn{package store}, in its
|
|
|
|
|
own directory---something that resembles
|
2014-11-04 16:38:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@file{/gnu/store/xxx-package-1.2}, where @code{xxx} is a base32 string
|
|
|
|
|
(note that Guix comes with an Emacs extension to shorten those file
|
2014-11-17 17:57:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
names, @pxref{Emacs Prettify}.)
|
2012-11-07 18:24:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instead of referring to these directories, users have their own
|
|
|
|
|
@dfn{profile}, which points to the packages that they actually want to
|
2013-01-23 14:35:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
use. These profiles are stored within each user's home directory, at
|
|
|
|
|
@code{$HOME/.guix-profile}.
|
2012-11-07 18:24:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2013-01-23 14:35:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
For example, @code{alice} installs GCC 4.7.2. As a result,
|
2012-11-07 18:24:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@file{/home/alice/.guix-profile/bin/gcc} points to
|
2014-03-09 21:09:12 +00:00
|
|

The @command{guix package} command is the central tool to manage
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
packages (@pxref{Invoking guix package}). It operates on the per-user

The command provides the obvious install, remove, and upgrade

operations. Each invocation is actually a @emph{transaction}: either

@command{guix package} process is terminated during the transaction,
|
2012-11-07 18:24:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
or if a power outage occurs during the transaction, then the user's
|
|
|
|
|
profile remains in its previous state, and remains usable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, any package transaction may be @emph{rolled back}. So, if,
|
|
|
|
|
for example, an upgrade installs a new version of a package that turns
|
|
|
|
|
out to have a serious bug, users may roll back to the previous instance
|
2013-12-09 23:23:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
of their profile, which was known to work well. Similarly, the global

system configuration is subject to transactional upgrades and roll-back

Guix can determine which packages are still referenced by user

Finally, Guix takes a @dfn{purely functional} approach to package
|
|
|
|
|
management, as described in the introduction (@pxref{Introduction}).
|
2014-03-09 21:09:12 +00:00

|
Each @file{/gnu/store} package directory name contains a hash of all the
|
2012-11-07 18:24:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
inputs that were used to build that package---compiler, libraries, build
|
|
|
|
|
scripts, etc. This direct correspondence allows users to make sure a
|
|
|
|
|
given package installation matches the current state of their
|
2013-11-18 21:07:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
distribution. It also helps maximize @dfn{build reproducibility}:
|
|
|
|
|
thanks to the isolated build environments that are used, a given build
|
|
|
|
|
is likely to yield bit-identical files when performed on different
|
|
|
|
|
machines (@pxref{Invoking guix-daemon, container}).

This foundation allows Guix to support @dfn{transparent binary/source
|
2014-03-30 21:37:46 +00:00

|
deployment}. When a pre-built binary for a @file{/gnu/store} item is
|
2013-11-07 21:18:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
available from an external source---a @dfn{substitute}, Guix just
|
2014-03-30 21:37:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
downloads it and unpacks it;
|
|
|
|

otherwise, it builds the package from source, locally

(@pxref{Substitutes}).

Control over the build environment is a feature that is also useful for
|
|
|
|
|
developers. The @command{guix environment} command allows developers of
|
|
|
|
|
a package to quickly set up the right development environment for their
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00

package, without having to manually install the dependencies of the

The @command{guix package} command is the tool that allows users to
|
2012-11-07 18:24:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
install, upgrade, and remove packages, as well as rolling back to
|

previous configurations. It operates only on the user's own profile,

and works with normal user privileges (@pxref{Features}). Its syntax

Primarily, @var{options} specifies the operations to be performed during
|
2012-11-07 18:24:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
the transaction. Upon completion, a new profile is created, but
|
2015-05-22 09:08:28 +00:00
|
|
|
|
previous @dfn{generations} of the profile remain available, should the user
|
2012-11-07 18:24:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
want to roll back.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-12-13 20:37:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
For example, to remove @code{lua} and install @code{guile} and
|
|
|
|
|
@code{guile-cairo} in a single transaction:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix package -r lua -i guile guile-cairo
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-05-22 09:08:28 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@command{guix package} also supports a @dfn{declarative approach}
|
|
|
|
|
whereby the user specifies the exact set of packages to be available and
|
|
|
|
|
passes it @i{via} the @option{--manifest} option
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{profile-manifest, @option{--manifest}}).

|
For each user, a symlink to the user's default profile is automatically
|
2013-01-14 22:44:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
created in @file{$HOME/.guix-profile}. This symlink always points to the
|
2013-01-09 18:57:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
current generation of the user's default profile. Thus, users can add
|
|
|
|
|
@file{$HOME/.guix-profile/bin} to their @code{PATH} environment
|
|
|
|
|
variable, and so on.

If you are not using the Guix System Distribution, consider adding the
|
|
|
|
|
following lines to your @file{~/.bash_profile} (@pxref{Bash Startup
|
|
|
|
|
Files,,, bash, The GNU Bash Reference Manual}) so that newly-spawned
|
|
|
|
|
shells get all the right environment variable definitions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
GUIX_PROFILE="$HOME/.guix-profile" \
|
|
|
|
|
source "$HOME/.guix-profile/etc/profile"
|
|

|
|
|
|
2015-01-04 22:42:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
In a multi-user setup, user profiles are stored in a place registered as
|
|
|
|
|
a @dfn{garbage-collector root}, which @file{$HOME/.guix-profile} points
|
|
|
|
|
to (@pxref{Invoking guix gc}). That directory is normally
|
2013-01-14 22:44:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{@var{localstatedir}/profiles/per-user/@var{user}}, where
|
|
|
|
|
@var{localstatedir} is the value passed to @code{configure} as
|
2015-01-04 22:42:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{--localstatedir}, and @var{user} is the user name. The
|
|
|
|
|
@file{per-user} directory is created when @command{guix-daemon} is
|
|
|
|
|
started, and the @var{user} sub-directory is created by @command{guix
|
|
|
|
|
package}.
|
2013-01-14 22:44:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @var{options} can be among the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-11-07 18:24:03 +00:00
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
2013-12-13 20:37:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Each @var{package} may specify either a simple package name, such as
|
2012-11-07 18:24:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{guile}, or a package name followed by a hyphen and version number,

2015-04-18 20:30:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
such as @code{guile-1.8.8} or simply @code{guile-1.8} (in the latter

|
2014-03-07 09:21:34 +00:00
|

|
(@pxref{Packages with Multiple Outputs}). Packages with a corresponding
|
|
|
|
|
name (and optionally version) are searched for among the GNU
|
|
|
|
|
distribution modules (@pxref{Package Modules}).

@cindex propagated inputs
|
|
|
|
|
Sometimes packages have @dfn{propagated inputs}: these are dependencies
|
2015-05-22 09:49:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
that automatically get installed along with the required package
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{package-propagated-inputs, @code{propagated-inputs} in
|
|
|
|
|
@code{package} objects}, for information about propagated inputs in
|
|
|
|
|
package definitions).

An example is the GNU MPC library: its C header files refer to those of
|
|
|
|
|
the GNU MPFR library, which in turn refer to those of the GMP library.
|
|
|
|
|
Thus, when installing MPC, the MPFR and GMP libraries also get installed
|
|
|
|
|
in the profile; removing MPC also removes MPFR and GMP---unless they had
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
also been explicitly installed by the user.

|
|
|
|
|
2013-09-27 08:22:02 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Besides, packages sometimes rely on the definition of environment
|
2013-04-28 21:05:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
variables for their search paths (see explanation of
|
2013-09-27 08:22:02 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{--search-paths} below). Any missing or possibly incorrect
|
2013-04-28 21:05:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
environment variable definitions are reported here.

Finally, when installing a GNU package, the tool reports the
|
2013-03-05 19:30:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
availability of a newer upstream version. In the future, it may provide
|
|
|
|
|
the option of installing directly from the upstream version, even if
|
|
|
|
|
that version is not yet in the distribution.

|
|

|
|
@item --install-from-expression=@var{exp}
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx -e @var{exp}
|
|
|
|
|
Install the package @var{exp} evaluates to.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@var{exp} must be a Scheme expression that evaluates to a
|
|
|
|
|
@code{<package>} object. This option is notably useful to disambiguate
|
|
|
|
|
between same-named variants of a package, with expressions such as
|
|
|
|
|
@code{(@@ (gnu packages base) guile-final)}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this option installs the first output of the specified
|
|
|
|
|
package, which may be insufficient when needing a specific output of a
|
|
|
|
|
multiple-output package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-08-09 15:35:51 +00:00

|
|
|
@item --install-from-file=@var{file}
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx -f @var{file}
|
|
|
|
|
Install the package that the code within @var{file} evaluates to.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As an example, @var{file} might contain a definition like this
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Defining Packages}):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
@verbatiminclude package-hello.scm
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Developers may find it useful to include such a @file{package.scm} file
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
in the root of their project source tree that can be used to test
|
2015-08-09 15:35:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
development snapshots and create reproducible development environments
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Invoking guix environment}).

|
|
@item --remove=@var{package} @dots{}
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx -r @var{package} @dots{}
|
|
|
|
|
Remove the specified @var{package}s.
|
2012-11-07 18:24:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2013-12-13 20:37:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
As for @code{--install}, each @var{package} may specify a version number
|
2013-11-01 23:01:35 +00:00
|
|
|
|
and/or output name in addition to the package name. For instance,
|
|
|
|
|
@code{-r glibc:debug} would remove the @code{debug} output of
|
|
|
|
|
@code{glibc}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-12-13 20:37:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item --upgrade[=@var{regexp} @dots{}]
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx -u [@var{regexp} @dots{}]
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrade all the installed packages. If one or more @var{regexp}s are
|
|
|
|
|
specified, upgrade only installed packages whose name matches a
|
2015-03-26 21:25:09 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@var{regexp}. Also see the @code{--do-not-upgrade} option below.
|
2012-11-07 18:24:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2013-02-20 22:46:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Note that this upgrades package to the latest version of packages found
|
|
|
|
|
in the distribution currently installed. To update your distribution,
|
|
|
|
|
you should regularly run @command{guix pull} (@pxref{Invoking guix
|
|
|
|
|
pull}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-03-26 21:25:09 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item --do-not-upgrade[=@var{regexp} @dots{}]
|
|
|
|
|
When used together with the @code{--upgrade} option, do @emph{not}
|
|
|
|
|
upgrade any packages whose name matches a @var{regexp}. For example, to
|
|
|
|
|
upgrade all packages in the current profile except those containing the
|
|
|
|
|
substring ``emacs'':
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ guix package --upgrade . --do-not-upgrade emacs

@cindex profile declaration

@cindex profile manifest
|

|
|
Create a new generation of the profile from the manifest object
|
2015-05-15 01:11:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
returned by the Scheme code in @var{file}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-05-22 09:08:28 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This allows you to @emph{declare} the profile's contents rather than
|
|
|
|
|
constructing it through a sequence of @code{--install} and similar
|
|
|
|
|
commands. The advantage is that @var{file} can be put under version
|
|
|
|
|
control, copied to different machines to reproduce the same profile, and
|
|
|
|
|
so on.

|
|

|
|
|
@c FIXME: Add reference to (guix profile) documentation when available.

@var{file} must return a @dfn{manifest} object, which is roughly a list
|
|
|

of packages:

2013-01-17 21:20:42 +00:00

|
|
@item --roll-back
|
|
|
|
|
Roll back to the previous @dfn{generation} of the profile---i.e., undo
|
|
|
|
|
the last transaction.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When combined with options such as @code{--install}, roll back occurs
|
|
|
|
|
before any other actions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-01-27 16:18:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
When rolling back from the first generation that actually contains
|
2013-09-24 22:18:09 +00:00
|
|
|
|
installed packages, the profile is made to point to the @dfn{zeroth
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
generation}, which contains no files apart from its own metadata.
|
2013-01-27 16:18:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
After having rolled back, installing, removing, or upgrading packages
|
|
|
|
|
overwrites previous future generations. Thus, the history of the
|
|
|
|
|
generations in a profile is always linear.

@item --switch-generation=@var{pattern}
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx -S @var{pattern}
|
|
|
|
|
Switch to a particular generation defined by @var{pattern}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@var{pattern} may be either a generation number or a number prefixed
|
|
|
|
|
with ``+'' or ``-''. The latter means: move forward/backward by a
|
|
|
|
|
specified number of generations. For example, if you want to return to
|
|
|
|
|
the latest generation after @code{--roll-back}, use
|
|
|
|
|
@code{--switch-generation=+1}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The difference between @code{--roll-back} and
|
|
|
|
|
@code{--switch-generation=-1} is that @code{--switch-generation} will
|
|
|
|
|
not make a zeroth generation, so if a specified generation does not
|
|
|
|
|
exist, the current generation will not be changed.

@item --search-paths[=@var{kind}]
|
2013-04-28 21:05:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@cindex search paths
|
|
|
|
|
Report environment variable definitions, in Bash syntax, that may be
|
|
|
|
|
needed in order to use the set of installed packages. These environment
|
|
|
|
|
variables are used to specify @dfn{search paths} for files used by some
|
|
|
|
|
of the installed packages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, GCC needs the @code{CPATH} and @code{LIBRARY_PATH}
|
|
|
|
|
environment variables to be defined so it can look for headers and
|
|
|
|
|
libraries in the user's profile (@pxref{Environment Variables,,, gcc,
|
|
|
|
|
Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)}). If GCC and, say, the C
|
|
|
|
|
library are installed in the profile, then @code{--search-paths} will
|
|
|
|
|
suggest setting these variables to @code{@var{profile}/include} and
|
|
|
|
|
@code{@var{profile}/lib}, respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-05-20 09:52:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The typical use case is to define these environment variables in the
|
|
|
|
|
shell:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ eval `guix package --search-paths`
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@var{kind} may be one of @code{exact}, @code{prefix}, or @code{suffix},
|
|
|
|
|
meaning that the returned environment variable definitions will either
|
|
|
|
|
be exact settings, or prefixes or suffixes of the current value of these
|
|
|
|
|
variables. When omitted, @var{kind} defaults to @code{exact}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-11-10 21:00:53 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This option can also be used to compute the @emph{combined} search paths
|
|
|
|
|
of several profiles. Consider this example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ guix package -p foo -i guile
|
|
|
|
|
$ guix package -p bar -i guile-json
|
|
|
|
|
$ guix package -p foo -p bar --search-paths
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The last command above reports about the @code{GUILE_LOAD_PATH}
|
|
|
|
|
variable, even though, taken individually, neither @file{foo} nor
|
|
|
|
|
@file{bar} would lead to that recommendation.

@item --profile=@var{profile}
|
|
|

|
@itemx -p @var{profile}
|
|

|
|

@item --verbose
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00

2012-11-07 18:24:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item --bootstrap
|
|
|
|
|
Use the bootstrap Guile to build the profile. This option is only

useful to distribution developers.

Similarly, to show the name of all the packages available under the
|
|
|
|
|
terms of the GNU@tie{}LGPL version 3:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ guix package -s "" | recsel -p name -e 'license ~ "LGPL 3"'
|
|
|
|
|
name: elfutils
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-01-04 21:27:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to refine search results using several @code{-s}
|
|
|
|
|
flags. For example, the following command returns a list of board
|
|
|
|
|
games:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ guix package -s '\<board\>' -s game | recsel -p name
|
|
|
|
|
name: gnubg
|
|
|
|
|
@dots{}
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If we were to omit @code{-s game}, we would also get software packages
|
|
|
|
|
that deal with printed circuit boards; removing the angle brackets
|
|
|
|
|
around @code{board} would further add packages that have to do with
|
|
|
|
|
keyboards.

And now for a more elaborate example. The following command searches
|
|
|
|
|
for cryptographic libraries, filters out Haskell, Perl, Python, and Ruby
|
|
|
|
|
libraries, and prints the name and synopsis of the matching packages:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ guix package -s crypto -s library | \
|
|
|
|
|
recsel -e '! (name ~ "^(ghc|perl|python|ruby)")' -p name,synopsis

generation, show the installed packages, with the most recently
|
2013-09-24 22:18:09 +00:00

shown.
|
2013-09-22 20:03:15 +00:00
|

For each installed package, print the following items, separated by
|
|
|
|
|
tabs: the name of a package, its version string, the part of the package
|
|
|
|
|
that is installed (@pxref{Packages with Multiple Outputs}), and the
|
|
|
|
|
location of this package in the store.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When @var{pattern} is used, the command returns only matching
|
|
|
|
|
generations. Valid patterns include:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@itemize
|
|
|
|
|
@item @emph{Integers and comma-separated integers}. Both patterns denote
|
|
|
|
|
generation numbers. For instance, @code{--list-generations=1} returns
|
|
|
|
|
the first one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And @code{--list-generations=1,8,2} outputs three generations in the
|
|
|
|
|
specified order. Neither spaces nor trailing commas are allowed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item @emph{Ranges}. @code{--list-generations=2..9} prints the
|
|
|
|
|
specified generations and everything in between. Note that the start of
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
a range must be smaller than its end.
|
2013-09-22 20:03:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to omit the endpoint. For example,
|
|
|
|
|
@code{--list-generations=2..}, returns all generations starting from the
|
|
|
|
|
second one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item @emph{Durations}. You can also get the last @emph{N}@tie{}days, weeks,
|
|
|
|
|
or months by passing an integer along with the first letter of the
|
2013-09-26 23:17:01 +00:00
|
|
|
|
duration. For example, @code{--list-generations=20d} lists generations
|
|
|
|
|
that are up to 20 days old.
|
2013-09-22 20:03:15 +00:00

|

|
|
|
@itemx -d [@var{pattern}]
|
2013-09-26 23:17:01 +00:00
|
|
|
|
When @var{pattern} is omitted, delete all generations except the current
|
|
|
|
|
one.
|
2013-09-26 02:36:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This command accepts the same patterns as @option{--list-generations}.
|
2013-09-26 23:17:01 +00:00
|
|
|
|
When @var{pattern} is specified, delete the matching generations. When
|
|
|
|
|
@var{pattern} specifies a duration, generations @emph{older} than the
|
|
|
|
|
specified duration match. For instance, @code{--delete-generations=1m}
|
|
|
|
|
deletes generations that are more than one month old.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-04-07 20:47:32 +00:00
|
|
|
|
If the current generation matches, it is @emph{not} deleted. Also, the
|
|
|
|
|
zeroth generation is never deleted.
|
2013-09-26 02:36:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Note that deleting generations prevents rolling back to them.
|
2013-09-26 23:26:26 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Consequently, this command must be used with care.

Finally, since @command{guix package} may actually start build

processes, it supports all the common build options (@pxref{Common Build

|
|

@option{--with-source} (@pxref{Package Transformation Options}).
|

However, note that package transformations are lost when upgrading; to
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
preserve transformations across upgrades, you should define your own
|
2016-01-31 20:33:08 +00:00

package variant in a Guile module and add it to @code{GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH}

Guix supports transparent source/binary deployment, which means that it
|
|
|
|
|
can either build things locally, or download pre-built items from a
|
|
|
|
|
server. We call these pre-built items @dfn{substitutes}---they are
|
|
|
|
|
substitutes for local build results. In many cases, downloading a
|
|
|
|
|
substitute is much faster than building things locally.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Substitutes can be anything resulting from a derivation build
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Derivations}). Of course, in the common case, they are
|
|
|
|
|
pre-built package binaries, but source tarballs, for instance, which
|
|
|
|
|
also result from derivation builds, can be available as substitutes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{hydra.gnu.org} server is a front-end to a build farm that
|
|
|
|
|
builds packages from the GNU distribution continuously for some
|
2015-12-11 11:01:35 +00:00
|
|
|
|
architectures, and makes them available as substitutes (@pxref{Emacs
|
|
|
|
|
Hydra}, for information on how to query the continuous integration
|
|
|
|
|
server). This is the
|
2015-07-13 14:07:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
default source of substitutes; it can be overridden by passing the
|
|
|
|
|
@option{--substitute-urls} option either to @command{guix-daemon}
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{daemon-substitute-urls,, @code{guix-daemon --substitute-urls}})
|
|
|
|
|
or to client tools such as @command{guix package}
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{client-substitute-urls,, client @option{--substitute-urls}
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
To allow Guix to download substitutes from @code{hydra.gnu.org}, you
|
|
|
|
|
must add its public key to the access control list (ACL) of archive
|
|
|
|
|
imports, using the @command{guix archive} command (@pxref{Invoking guix
|
|
|
|
|
archive}). Doing so implies that you trust @code{hydra.gnu.org} to not
|
|
|
|
|
be compromised and to serve genuine substitutes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This public key is installed along with Guix, in
|
|
|
|
|
@code{@var{prefix}/share/guix/hydra.gnu.org.pub}, where @var{prefix} is
|
|
|
|
|
the installation prefix of Guix. If you installed Guix from source,
|
|
|
|
|
make sure you checked the GPG signature of
|
|
|
|
|
@file{guix-@value{VERSION}.tar.gz}, which contains this public key file.
|
|
|
|
|
Then, you can run something like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
# guix archive --authorize < hydra.gnu.org.pub
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once this is in place, the output of a command like @code{guix build}
|
|
|
|
|
should change from something like:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|

$ guix build emacs --dry-run

The following derivations would be built:

to something like:

|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ guix build emacs --dry-run

The following files would be downloaded:

This indicates that substitutes from @code{hydra.gnu.org} are usable and

|
|
|
will be downloaded, when possible, for future builds.

Guix ignores substitutes that are not signed, or that are not signed by
|
2014-03-31 18:08:26 +00:00
|
|
|
|
one of the keys listed in the ACL. It also detects and raises an error
|
2014-03-30 21:37:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
when attempting to use a substitute that has been tampered with.

@vindex http_proxy

Substitutes are downloaded over HTTP. The @code{http_proxy} environment
|
|
|
|
|
variable can be set in the environment of @command{guix-daemon} and is
|
|
|
|
|
honored for downloads of substitutes. Note that the value of
|
|
|
|
|
@code{http_proxy} in the environment where @command{guix build},
|
|
|
|
|
@command{guix package}, and other client commands are run has

@emph{absolutely no effect}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-03-30 21:37:46 +00:00

The substitute mechanism can be disabled globally by running
|
|
|
|
|
@code{guix-daemon} with @code{--no-substitutes} (@pxref{Invoking
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

@code{--no-substitutes} option to @command{guix package}, @command{guix
|
|
|
|
|
build}, and other command-line tools.

Today, each individual's control over their own computing is at the

|
|
mercy of institutions, corporations, and groups with enough power and
|
|
|
|
|
determination to subvert the computing infrastructure and exploit its
|
|
|
|
|
weaknesses. While using @code{hydra.gnu.org} substitutes can be

|
|
|
|
convenient, we encourage users to also build on their own, or even run
|
|
|
|

their own build farm, such that @code{hydra.gnu.org} is less of an

Guix has the foundations to maximize build reproducibility
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Features}). In most cases, independent builds of a given
|
|
|
|
|
package or derivation should yield bit-identical results. Thus, through
|
|
|
|
|
a diverse set of independent package builds, we can strengthen the
|
2015-10-19 22:55:09 +00:00
|
|
|
|
integrity of our systems. The @command{guix challenge} command aims to
|
|
|
|
|
help users assess substitute servers, and to assist developers in
|
|
|
|
|
finding out about non-deterministic package builds (@pxref{Invoking guix
|
2015-12-09 10:04:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
challenge}). Similarly, the @option{--check} option of @command{guix
|
|
|
|
|
build} allows users to check whether previously-installed substitutes
|
|
|
|
|
are genuine by rebuilding them locally (@pxref{build-check,
|
|
|
|
|
@command{guix build --check}}).

|
|
|
|
|
|
In the future, we want Guix to have support to publish and retrieve
|
|
|
|
|
binaries to/from other users, in a peer-to-peer fashion. If you would
|
|
|
|
|
like to discuss this project, join us on @email{guix-devel@@gnu.org}.

@cindex package outputs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Often, packages defined in Guix have a single @dfn{output}---i.e., the
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
source package leads to exactly one directory in the store. When running
|
2013-07-08 21:33:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@command{guix package -i glibc}, one installs the default output of the
|
|
|
|
|
GNU libc package; the default output is called @code{out}, but its name
|
|
|
|
|
can be omitted as shown in this command. In this particular case, the
|
|
|
|
|
default output of @code{glibc} contains all the C header files, shared
|
|
|
|
|
libraries, static libraries, Info documentation, and other supporting
|
|
|
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sometimes it is more appropriate to separate the various types of files
|
|
|
|
|
produced from a single source package into separate outputs. For
|
|
|
|
|
instance, the GLib C library (used by GTK+ and related packages)
|
|
|
|
|
installs more than 20 MiB of reference documentation as HTML pages.
|
|
|
|
|
To save space for users who do not need it, the documentation goes to a
|
|
|
|
|
separate output, called @code{doc}. To install the main GLib output,
|
|
|
|
|
which contains everything but the documentation, one would run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix package -i glib
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The command to install its documentation is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix package -i glib:doc
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some packages install programs with different ``dependency footprints''.
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
For instance, the WordNet package installs both command-line tools and
|
2013-07-08 21:33:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
graphical user interfaces (GUIs). The former depend solely on the C
|
|
|
|
|
library, whereas the latter depend on Tcl/Tk and the underlying X
|
|
|
|
|
libraries. In this case, we leave the command-line tools in the default
|
|
|
|
|
output, whereas the GUIs are in a separate output. This allows users
|
2015-06-17 22:22:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
who do not need the GUIs to save space. The @command{guix size} command
|
|
|
|
|
can help find out about such situations (@pxref{Invoking guix size}).
|
2015-08-26 22:36:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@command{guix graph} can also be helpful (@pxref{Invoking guix graph}).
|
2013-07-08 21:33:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are several such multiple-output packages in the GNU distribution.
|
2013-07-08 22:24:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Other conventional output names include @code{lib} for libraries and
|
|
|
|
|
possibly header files, @code{bin} for stand-alone programs, and
|
|
|
|
|
@code{debug} for debugging information (@pxref{Installing Debugging
|
|
|
|
|
Files}). The outputs of a packages are listed in the third column of
|
|
|
|
|
the output of @command{guix package --list-available} (@pxref{Invoking
|
|
|
|
|

The @command{guix gc} command has three modes of operation: it can be
|
2013-01-05 23:28:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
used to garbage-collect any dead files (the default), to delete specific
|
2015-06-06 16:56:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
files (the @code{--delete} option), to print garbage-collector
|
|
|
|
|
information, or for more advanced queries. The garbage collection
|
|
|
|
|
options are as follows:
|
2013-01-05 23:28:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
@item --collect-garbage[=@var{min}]
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx -C [@var{min}]
|
2014-03-09 21:09:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Collect garbage---i.e., unreachable @file{/gnu/store} files and
|
2013-01-05 23:28:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
sub-directories. This is the default operation when no option is
|
|
|
|
|
specified.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When @var{min} is given, stop once @var{min} bytes have been collected.
|
|
|
|
|
@var{min} may be a number of bytes, or it may include a unit as a
|
2014-10-03 11:35:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
suffix, such as @code{MiB} for mebibytes and @code{GB} for gigabytes
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Block size, size specifications,, coreutils, GNU Coreutils}).
|
2013-01-05 23:28:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When @var{min} is omitted, collect all the garbage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --delete
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx -d
|
|
|
|
|
Attempt to delete all the store files and directories specified as
|
|
|
|
|
arguments. This fails if some of the files are not in the store, or if
|
|
|
|
|
they are still live.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-09-28 19:45:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item --list-failures
|
|
|
|
|
List store items corresponding to cached build failures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This prints nothing unless the daemon was started with
|
|
|
|
|
@option{--cache-failures} (@pxref{Invoking guix-daemon,
|
|
|
|
|
@option{--cache-failures}}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --clear-failures
|
|
|
|
|
Remove the specified store items from the failed-build cache.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Again, this option only makes sense when the daemon is started with
|
|
|
|
|
@option{--cache-failures}. Otherwise, it does nothing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-01-05 23:28:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item --list-dead
|
|
|
|
|
Show the list of dead files and directories still present in the
|
|
|
|
|
store---i.e., files and directories no longer reachable from any root.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --list-live
|
|
|
|
|
Show the list of live store files and directories.

|
|
|
|
|
include the store files themselves, their references, and the references
|
|
|
|
|
of these, recursively. In other words, the returned list is the

@dfn{transitive closure} of the store files.

Lastly, the following options allow you to check the integrity of the

store and to control disk usage.
|

|
|
|
|
|

@table @option

@cindex integrity checking
|
|
|
|
|
Verify the integrity of the store.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, make sure that all the store items marked as valid in the
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
database of the daemon actually exist in @file{/gnu/store}.
|
2015-06-06 16:56:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
When provided, @var{options} must be a comma-separated list containing one
|
2015-06-06 16:56:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
or more of @code{contents} and @code{repair}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
When passing @option{--verify=contents}, the daemon computse the
|
|
|
|
|
content hash of each store item and compares it against its hash in the
|
2015-06-06 16:56:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
database. Hash mismatches are reported as data corruptions. Because it
|
|
|
|
|
traverses @emph{all the files in the store}, this command can take a
|
|
|
|
|
long time, especially on systems with a slow disk drive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex repairing the store
|
|
|
|
|
Using @option{--verify=repair} or @option{--verify=contents,repair}
|
|
|
|
|
causes the daemon to try to repair corrupt store items by fetching
|
|
|
|
|
substitutes for them (@pxref{Substitutes}). Because repairing is not
|
|
|
|
|
atomic, and thus potentially dangerous, it is available only to the
|
|
|
|
|
system administrator.

@item --optimize

@cindex deduplication
|
|
|
|
|
Optimize the store by hard-linking identical files---this is
|
|
|
|
|
@dfn{deduplication}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The daemon performs deduplication after each successful build or archive
|
|
|
|
|
import, unless it was started with @code{--disable-deduplication}
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Invoking guix-daemon, @code{--disable-deduplication}}). Thus,
|
|
|
|
|
this option is primarily useful when the daemon was running with
|
|
|
|
|
@code{--disable-deduplication}.

the distribution currently available on your local machine. To update
|
|
|
|
|
that distribution, along with the Guix tools, you must run @command{guix

@section Invoking @command{guix archive}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @command{guix archive} command allows users to @dfn{export} files
|
|
|
|
|
from the store into a single archive, and to later @dfn{import} them.
|
|
|
|
|
In particular, it allows store files to be transferred from one machine
|
2016-02-13 19:04:10 +00:00
|
|
|
|
to the store on another machine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To export store files as an archive to standard output, run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix archive --export @var{options} @var{specifications}...
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@var{specifications} may be either store file names or package
|
|
|
|
|
specifications, as for @command{guix package} (@pxref{Invoking guix
|
|
|
|
|
package}). For instance, the following command creates an archive
|
|
|
|
|
containing the @code{gui} output of the @code{git} package and the main
|
|
|
|
|
output of @code{emacs}:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix archive --export git:gui /gnu/store/...-emacs-24.3 > great.nar
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the specified packages are not built yet, @command{guix archive}
|
|
|
|
|
automatically builds them. The build process may be controlled with the
|
|
|
|
|
common build options (@pxref{Common Build Options}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To transfer the @code{emacs} package to a machine connected over SSH,
|
|
|
|
|
one would run:
|
2013-12-22 00:08:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2015-01-17 16:05:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
guix archive --export -r emacs | ssh the-machine guix archive --import
|
2013-12-22 00:08:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-01-06 21:25:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
2015-01-17 16:05:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Similarly, a complete user profile may be transferred from one machine
|
|
|
|
|
to another like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix archive --export -r $(readlink -f ~/.guix-profile) | \
|
|
|
|
|
ssh the-machine guix-archive --import
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
|
However, note that, in both examples, all of @code{emacs} and the
|
|
|
|
|
profile as well as all of their dependencies are transferred (due to
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{-r}), regardless of what is already available in the store on the
|
|
|
|
|
target machine. The @code{--missing} option can help figure out which
|
|
|
|
|
items are missing from the target store.
|
2014-01-06 21:25:29 +00:00
|

|
2013-12-22 00:08:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Archives are stored in the ``Nix archive'' or ``Nar'' format, which is
|
2014-02-21 19:22:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
comparable in spirit to `tar', but with a few noteworthy differences
|
|
|
|
|
that make it more appropriate for our purposes. First, rather than
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
recording all Unix metadata for each file, the Nar format only mentions
|
2014-02-21 19:22:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
the file type (regular, directory, or symbolic link); Unix permissions
|
|
|
|
|
and owner/group are dismissed. Second, the order in which directory
|
|
|
|
|
entries are stored always follows the order of file names according to
|
|
|
|
|
the C locale collation order. This makes archive production fully
|
|
|
|
|
deterministic.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When exporting, the daemon digitally signs the contents of the archive,
|
|
|
|
|
and that digital signature is appended. When importing, the daemon
|
|
|
|
|
verifies the signature and rejects the import in case of an invalid
|
|
|
|
|
signature or if the signing key is not authorized.
|
2013-12-22 00:08:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@c FIXME: Add xref to daemon doc about signatures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main options are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
@item --export
|
|
|
|
|
Export the specified store files or packages (see below.) Write the
|
|
|
|
|
resulting archive to the standard output.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-01-17 16:05:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Dependencies are @emph{not} included in the output, unless
|
|
|
|
|
@code{--recursive} is passed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item -r
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx --recursive
|
|
|
|
|
When combined with @code{--export}, this instructs @command{guix
|
|
|
|
|
archive} to include dependencies of the given items in the archive.
|
|
|
|
|
Thus, the resulting archive is self-contained: it contains the closure
|
|
|
|
|
of the exported store items.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-12-22 00:08:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item --import
|
|
|
|
|
Read an archive from the standard input, and import the files listed
|
|
|
|
|
therein into the store. Abort if the archive has an invalid digital
|
2013-12-30 22:18:52 +00:00
|
|
|
|
signature, or if it is signed by a public key not among the authorized
|
|
|
|
|
keys (see @code{--authorize} below.)
|
2013-12-30 21:46:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-01-06 21:25:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item --missing
|
|
|
|
|
Read a list of store file names from the standard input, one per line,
|
|
|
|
|
and write on the standard output the subset of these files missing from
|
|
|
|
|
the store.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-12-30 21:46:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item --generate-key[=@var{parameters}]
|
2013-12-30 22:18:52 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@cindex signing, archives
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Generate a new key pair for the daemon. This is a prerequisite before
|
2013-12-30 21:46:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
archives can be exported with @code{--export}. Note that this operation
|
|
|
|
|
usually takes time, because it needs to gather enough entropy to
|
|
|
|
|
generate the key pair.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The generated key pair is typically stored under @file{/etc/guix}, in
|
|
|
|
|
@file{signing-key.pub} (public key) and @file{signing-key.sec} (private
|
2015-01-17 13:53:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
key, which must be kept secret.) When @var{parameters} is omitted,
|
|
|
|
|
an ECDSA key using the Ed25519 curve is generated, or, for Libgcrypt
|
|
|
|
|
versions before 1.6.0, it is a 4096-bit RSA key.
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, @var{parameters} can specify
|
2013-12-30 21:46:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{genkey} parameters suitable for Libgcrypt (@pxref{General
|
|
|
|
|
public-key related Functions, @code{gcry_pk_genkey},, gcrypt, The
|
|
|
|
|
Libgcrypt Reference Manual}).
|
2013-12-30 22:18:52 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --authorize
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex authorizing, archives
|
|
|
|
|
Authorize imports signed by the public key passed on standard input.
|
|
|
|
|
The public key must be in ``s-expression advanced format''---i.e., the
|
|
|
|
|
same format as the @file{signing-key.pub} file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The list of authorized keys is kept in the human-editable file
|
|
|
|
|
@file{/etc/guix/acl}. The file contains
|
|
|
|
|
@url{http://people.csail.mit.edu/rivest/Sexp.txt, ``advanced-format
|
|
|
|
|
s-expressions''} and is structured as an access-control list in the
|
|

|
|
(SPKI)}.

|
|
|
|
|
@item --extract=@var{directory}
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx -x @var{directory}
|
|
|
|
|
Read a single-item archive as served by substitute servers
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Substitutes}) and extract it to @var{directory}. This is a
|
|
|
|
|
low-level operation needed in only very narrow use cases; see below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, the following command extracts the substitute for Emacs
|
|
|
|
|
served by @code{hydra.gnu.org} to @file{/tmp/emacs}:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ wget -O - \
|
|
|
|
|
http://hydra.gnu.org/nar/@dots{}-emacs-24.5 \
|
|
|
|
|
| bunzip2 | guix archive -x /tmp/emacs
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Single-item archives are different from multiple-item archives produced
|
|
|
|
|
by @command{guix archive --export}; they contain a single store item,
|
|
|
|
|
and they do @emph{not} embed a signature. Thus this operation does
|
|
|
|
|
@emph{no} signature verification and its output should be considered
|
|
|
|
|
unsafe.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The primary purpose of this operation is to facilitate inspection of
|
|
|
|
|
archive contents coming from possibly untrusted substitute servers.

|
|
|
|
GNU Guix provides several Scheme programming interfaces (APIs) to
|
|
|
|
|
define, build, and query packages. The first interface allows users to
|
|
|
|
|
write high-level package definitions. These definitions refer to
|
|
|
|
|
familiar packaging concepts, such as the name and version of a package,
|
|
|
|
|
its build system, and its dependencies. These definitions can then be
|
|
|
|
|
turned into concrete build actions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-12-12 13:46:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Build actions are performed by the Guix daemon, on behalf of users. In a
|
2012-11-21 14:56:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
standard setup, the daemon has write access to the store---the
|
2014-03-09 21:09:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@file{/gnu/store} directory---whereas users do not. The recommended
|
2012-11-21 14:56:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
setup also has the daemon perform builds in chroots, under a specific
|
|
|
|
|
build users, to minimize interference with the rest of the system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex derivation
|
|
|
|
|
Lower-level APIs are available to interact with the daemon and the
|
|
|
|
|
store. To instruct the daemon to perform a build action, users actually
|
|
|
|
|
provide it with a @dfn{derivation}. A derivation is a low-level
|
|
|
|
|
representation of the build actions to be taken, and the environment in
|
|
|
|
|
which they should occur---derivations are to package definitions what
|
2014-06-09 16:51:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
assembly is to C programs. The term ``derivation'' comes from the fact
|
|
|
|
|
that build results @emph{derive} from them.
|
2012-11-21 14:56:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This chapter describes all these APIs in turn, starting from high-level
|
|
|
|
|
package definitions.

The high-level interface to package definitions is implemented in the

@code{(guix packages)} and @code{(guix build-system)} modules. As an

|
Without being a Scheme expert, the reader may have guessed the meaning
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
of the various fields here. This expression binds the variable
|
|
|
|
|
@code{hello} to a @code{<package>} object, which is essentially a record
|
2012-11-21 14:56:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{SRFI-9, Scheme records,, guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}).
|
|
|
|
|
This package object can be inspected using procedures found in the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{(guix packages)} module; for instance, @code{(package-name hello)}
|
|
|
|
|
returns---surprise!---@code{"hello"}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-11-16 22:21:23 +00:00
|
|
|
|
With luck, you may be able to import part or all of the definition of
|
|
|
|
|
the package you are interested in from another repository, using the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{guix import} command (@pxref{Invoking guix import}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
In the example above, @var{hello} is defined in a module of its own,
|
2014-03-07 09:21:34 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{(gnu packages hello)}. Technically, this is not strictly
|
|
|
|
|
necessary, but it is convenient to do so: all the packages defined in
|
|
|
|
|
modules under @code{(gnu packages @dots{})} are automatically known to
|
|
|
|
|
the command-line tools (@pxref{Package Modules}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-11-21 14:56:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
There are a few points worth noting in the above package definition:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@itemize
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
2015-05-22 09:20:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The @code{source} field of the package is an @code{<origin>} object
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{origin Reference}, for the complete reference).
|
2012-11-21 14:56:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Here, the @code{url-fetch} method from @code{(guix download)} is used,
|
|
|
|
|
meaning that the source is a file to be downloaded over FTP or HTTP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{mirror://gnu} prefix instructs @code{url-fetch} to use one of
|
|
|
|
|
the GNU mirrors defined in @code{(guix download)}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{sha256} field specifies the expected SHA256 hash of the file
|
|
|
|
|
being downloaded. It is mandatory, and allows Guix to check the
|
|
|
|
|
integrity of the file. The @code{(base32 @dots{})} form introduces the
|
2013-04-21 17:20:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
base32 representation of the hash. You can obtain this information with
|
2013-05-11 14:18:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{guix download} (@pxref{Invoking guix download}) and @code{guix
|
|
|
|
|
hash} (@pxref{Invoking guix hash}).

|
|

|
@cindex patches
|
|
|
|
|
When needed, the @code{origin} form can also have a @code{patches} field
|
|
|
|
|
listing patches to be applied, and a @code{snippet} field giving a
|
|
|
|
|
Scheme expression to modify the source code.

@cindex GNU Build System
|
2014-04-05 15:01:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The @code{build-system} field specifies the procedure to build the
|
|
|
|
|
package (@pxref{Build Systems}). Here, @var{gnu-build-system}
|
|
|
|
|
represents the familiar GNU Build System, where packages may be
|
|
|
|
|
configured, built, and installed with the usual @code{./configure &&
|
|
|
|
|
make && make check && make install} command sequence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{arguments} field specifies options for the build system
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Build Systems}). Here it is interpreted by
|
|
|
|
|
@var{gnu-build-system} as a request run @file{configure} with the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{--enable-silent-rules} flag.
|
2012-11-21 14:56:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{inputs} field specifies inputs to the build process---i.e.,
|
|
|
|
|
build-time or run-time dependencies of the package. Here, we define an
|
|
|
|
|
input called @code{"gawk"} whose value is that of the @var{gawk}
|
|
|
|
|
variable; @var{gawk} is itself bound to a @code{<package>} object.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that GCC, Coreutils, Bash, and other essential tools do not need to
|
|
|
|
|
be specified as inputs here. Instead, @var{gnu-build-system} takes care
|
2014-04-05 15:01:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
of ensuring that they are present (@pxref{Build Systems}).
|
2012-11-21 14:56:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, any other dependencies need to be specified in the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{inputs} field. Any dependency not specified here will simply be
|
|
|
|
|
unavailable to the build process, possibly leading to a build failure.

@cindex cross compilation, package dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
The distinction between @code{native-inputs} and @code{inputs} is
|
|
|
|
|
necessary when considering cross-compilation. When cross-compiling,
|
|
|
|
|
dependencies listed in @code{inputs} are built for the @emph{target}
|
|
|
|
|
architecture; conversely, dependencies listed in @code{native-inputs}
|
|
|
|
|
are built for the architecture of the @emph{build} machine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{native-inputs} is typically used to list tools needed at
|
|
|
|
|
build time, but not at run time, such as Autoconf, Automake, pkg-config,
|
2015-12-13 13:42:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Gettext, or Bison. @command{guix lint} can report likely mistakes in
|
|
|
|
|
this area (@pxref{Invoking guix lint}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@anchor{package-propagated-inputs}
|
|
|
|
|
Lastly, @code{propagated-inputs} is similar to @code{inputs}, but the
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
specified packages will be automatically installed alongside the package
|
|
|
|
|
they belong to (@pxref{package-cmd-propagated-inputs, @command{guix
|
2015-12-13 13:42:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
package}}, for information on how @command{guix package} deals with
|
|
|
|
|
propagated inputs.)
|
2015-05-22 09:49:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2015-12-15 11:00:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
For example this is necessary when a C/C++ library needs headers of
|
|
|
|
|
another library to compile, or when a pkg-config file refers to another
|
|
|
|
|
one @i{via} its @code{Requires} field.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Another example where @code{propagated-inputs} is useful is for languages
|
|
|
|
|
that lack a facility to record the run-time search path akin to the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{RUNPATH}of ELF files; this includes Guile, Python, Perl, GHC, and
|
2015-12-15 11:00:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
more. To ensure that libraries written in those languages can find
|
|
|
|
|
library code they depend on at run time, run-time dependencies must be
|
|
|
|
|
listed in @code{propagated-inputs} rather than @code{inputs}.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item @code{replacement} (default: @code{#f})
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This must be either @code{#f} or a package object that will be used as a
|
2015-05-15 19:54:11 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@dfn{replacement} for this package. @xref{Security Updates, grafts},

|
|
|
|
|
The list of systems supported by the package, as strings of the form
|
|

The source location of the package. It is useful to override this when
|
2015-05-15 19:54:11 +00:00

|
|
|
automatically corrected.

|
|
|
|

base-32 string.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item @code{file-name} (default: @code{#f})
|
|
|
|
|
The file name under which the source code should be saved. When this is
|
|
|
|
|
@code{#f}, a sensible default value will be used in most cases. In case
|
|
|
|
|
the source is fetched from a URL, the file name from the URL will be
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
used. For version control checkouts, it is recommended to provide the
|
2015-05-15 19:54:11 +00:00
|
|
|
|
file name explicitly because the default is not very descriptive.

any modifications, which is sometimes more convenient than a patch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item @code{patch-flags} (default: @code{'("-p1")})
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item @code{patch-inputs} (default: @code{#f})
|
|
|

|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00

Under the hood, build systems first compile package objects to
|
|
|
|
|
@dfn{bags}. A @dfn{bag} is like a package, but with less
|
|
|
|
|
ornamentation---in other words, a bag is a lower-level representation of
|
|
|
|
|
a package, which includes all the inputs of that package, including some
|
|
|
|
|
that were implicitly added by the build system. This intermediate
|
|
|
|
|
representation is then compiled to a derivation (@pxref{Derivations}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-04-05 15:01:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Build systems accept an optional list of @dfn{arguments}. In package
|
|
|
|
|
definitions, these are passed @i{via} the @code{arguments} field
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Defining Packages}). They are typically keyword arguments
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Optional Arguments, keyword arguments in Guile,, guile, GNU
|
|
|
|
|
Guile Reference Manual}). The value of these arguments is usually
|
|
|
|
|
evaluated in the @dfn{build stratum}---i.e., by a Guile process launched
|
|
|
|
|
by the daemon (@pxref{Derivations}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main build system is @var{gnu-build-system}, which implements the
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
standard build procedure for GNU and many other packages. It
|
2014-04-05 15:01:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
is provided by the @code{(guix build-system gnu)} module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@defvr {Scheme Variable} gnu-build-system
|
|
|
|
|
@var{gnu-build-system} represents the GNU Build System, and variants
|
|
|
|
|
thereof (@pxref{Configuration, configuration and makefile conventions,,

@cindex build phases
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
In a nutshell, packages using it are configured, built, and installed with
|
2014-04-05 15:01:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
the usual @code{./configure && make && make check && make install}
|
|
|
|
|
command sequence. In practice, a few additional steps are often needed.
|
|
|
|
|
All these steps are split up in separate @dfn{phases},
|
|
|
|
|
notably@footnote{Please see the @code{(guix build gnu-build-system)}
|
|
|
|
|
modules for more details about the build phases.}:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
@item unpack
|
|
|
|
|
Unpack the source tarball, and change the current directory to the
|
|
|
|
|
extracted source tree. If the source is actually a directory, copy it
|
|
|
|
|
to the build tree, and enter that directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item patch-source-shebangs
|
|
|
|
|
Patch shebangs encountered in source files so they refer to the right
|
|
|
|
|
store file names. For instance, this changes @code{#!/bin/sh} to
|
|
|
|
|
@code{#!/gnu/store/@dots{}-bash-4.3/bin/sh}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item configure
|
|
|
|
|
Run the @file{configure} script with a number of default options, such
|
|
|
|
|
as @code{--prefix=/gnu/store/@dots{}}, as well as the options specified
|
|
|
|
|
by the @code{#:configure-flags} argument.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item build
|
|
|
|
|
Run @code{make} with the list of flags specified with
|
2016-01-12 22:53:11 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{#:make-flags}. If the @code{#:parallel-build?} argument is true
|
2014-04-05 15:01:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
(the default), build with @code{make -j}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item check
|
|
|
|
|
Run @code{make check}, or some other target specified with
|
|
|
|
|
@code{#:test-target}, unless @code{#:tests? #f} is passed. If the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{#:parallel-tests?} argument is true (the default), run @code{make
|
|
|
|
|
check -j}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item install
|
|
|
|
|
Run @code{make install} with the flags listed in @code{#:make-flags}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item patch-shebangs
|
|
|
|
|
Patch shebangs on the installed executable files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item strip
|
|
|
|
|
Strip debugging symbols from ELF files (unless @code{#:strip-binaries?}
|
|
|
|
|
is false), copying them to the @code{debug} output when available
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Installing Debugging Files}).
|
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
@vindex %standard-phases
|
|
|
|

@var{%standard-phases} is a list of symbol/procedure pairs, where the
|
|
|
|
|
procedure implements the actual phase.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The list of phases used for a particular package can be changed with the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{#:phases} parameter. For instance, passing:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2016-02-13 19:07:08 +00:00
|
|
|
|
#:phases (modify-phases %standard-phases (delete 'configure))
|
2014-04-05 15:01:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-04-09 11:53:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
means that all the phases described above will be used, except the
|
2014-04-05 15:01:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{configure} phase.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, this build system ensures that the ``standard'' environment
|
|
|
|
|
for GNU packages is available. This includes tools such as GCC, libc,
|
|
|
|
|
Coreutils, Bash, Make, Diffutils, grep, and sed (see the @code{(guix
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
build-system gnu)} module for a complete list). We call these the
|
|
|
|
|
@dfn{implicit inputs} of a package, because package definitions do not
|
2014-04-05 15:01:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
have to mention them.
|
|
|
|
|
@end defvr

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other @code{<build-system>} objects are defined to support other
|
|
|
|
|
conventions and tools used by free software packages. They inherit most
|
|
|
|
|
of @var{gnu-build-system}, and differ mainly in the set of inputs
|
|
|
|
|
implicitly added to the build process, and in the list of phases
|
|
|
|
|
executed. Some of these build systems are listed below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@defvr {Scheme Variable} cmake-build-system
|
|
|
|
|
This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system cmake)}. It
|
|
|
|
|
implements the build procedure for packages using the
|
|
|
|
|
@url{http://www.cmake.org, CMake build tool}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It automatically adds the @code{cmake} package to the set of inputs.
|
|
|
|
|
Which package is used can be specified with the @code{#:cmake}
|
|
|
|
|
parameter.
|
2014-10-04 20:59:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{#:configure-flags} parameter is taken as a list of flags
|
|
|
|
|
passed to the @command{cmake} command. The @code{#:build-type}
|
|
|
|
|
parameter specifies in abstract terms the flags passed to the compiler;
|
|
|
|
|
it defaults to @code{"RelWithDebInfo"} (short for ``release mode with
|
|
|
|
|
debugging information''), which roughly means that code is compiled with
|
|
|
|
|
@code{-O2 -g}, as is the case for Autoconf-based packages by default.

@defvr {Scheme Variable} glib-or-gtk-build-system
|
|
|
|
|
This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system glib-or-gtk)}. It
|
|
|
|
|
is intended for use with packages making use of GLib or GTK+.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This build system adds the following two phases to the ones defined by
|
|
|
|
|
@var{gnu-build-system}:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
@item glib-or-gtk-wrap
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The phase @code{glib-or-gtk-wrap} ensures that programs in
|
|
|
|
|
@file{bin/} are able to find GLib ``schemas'' and
|
2014-10-08 19:04:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@uref{https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-running.html, GTK+
|
|
|
|
|
modules}. This is achieved by wrapping the programs in launch scripts
|
|
|
|
|
that appropriately set the @code{XDG_DATA_DIRS} and @code{GTK_PATH}
|
|
|
|
|
environment variables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-12-01 21:39:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
It is possible to exclude specific package outputs from that wrapping
|
|
|
|
|
process by listing their names in the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{#:glib-or-gtk-wrap-excluded-outputs} parameter. This is useful
|
|
|
|
|
when an output is known not to contain any GLib or GTK+ binaries, and
|
|
|
|
|
where wrapping would gratuitously add a dependency of that output on
|
|
|
|
|
GLib and GTK+.

|
2014-10-08 19:04:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@command{glib-compile-schemas} program. It is provided by the package
|
|
|
|
|
@code{glib:bin} which is automatically imported by the build system.
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{glib} package providing @command{glib-compile-schemas} can be
|
|
|
|
|
specified with the @code{#:glib} parameter.

@defvr {Scheme Variable} python-build-system
|
|
|

|
This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system python)}. It
|
|
|
|
|
implements the more or less standard build procedure used by Python
|
|
|
|
|
packages, which consists in running @code{python setup.py build} and

|
|
then @code{python setup.py install --prefix=/gnu/store/@dots{}}.
|
|
|
|
|

For packages that install stand-alone Python programs under @code{bin/},

it takes care of wrapping these programs so that their @code{PYTHONPATH}

environment variable points to all the Python libraries they depend on.

This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system perl)}. It
|
2015-01-23 05:18:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
implements the standard build procedure for Perl packages, which either
|
|
|
|
|
consists in running @code{perl Build.PL --prefix=/gnu/store/@dots{}},
|
|
|
|
|
followed by @code{Build} and @code{Build install}; or in running
|
|
|
|
|
@code{perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/gnu/store/@dots{}}, followed by
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{make} and @code{make install}, depending on which of
|
2015-01-23 05:18:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{Build.PL} or @code{Makefile.PL} is present in the package
|
|
|
|
|
distribution. Preference is given to the former if both @code{Build.PL}
|
|
|
|
|
and @code{Makefile.PL} exist in the package distribution. This
|
|
|
|
|
preference can be reversed by specifying @code{#t} for the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{#:make-maker?} parameter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The initial @code{perl Makefile.PL} or @code{perl Build.PL} invocation
|
|
|
|
|
passes flags specified by the @code{#:make-maker-flags} or
|
|
|
|

@code{#:module-build-flags} parameter, respectively.

|
|

implements the build procedure used by @uref{http://r-project.org, R}
|
|
|
|
|
packages, which essentially is little more than running @code{R CMD
|
|
|
|
|

@code{R_LIBS_SITE} contains the paths to all R package inputs. Tests

@defvr {Scheme Variable} ruby-build-system
|
|
|
|
|
This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system ruby)}. It
|
|
|
|
|
implements the RubyGems build procedure used by Ruby packages, which
|
|
|
|
|
involves running @code{gem build} followed by @code{gem install}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-09-08 02:58:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The @code{source} field of a package that uses this build system
|
|
|
|
|
typically references a gem archive, since this is the format that Ruby
|
|
|
|
|
developers use when releasing their software. The build system unpacks
|
|
|
|
|
the gem archive, potentially patches the source, runs the test suite,
|
|
|
|
|
repackages the gem, and installs it. Additionally, directories and
|
|
|
|
|
tarballs may be referenced to allow building unreleased gems from Git or
|
|
|
|
|
a traditional source release tarball.

This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system waf)}. It

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

@defvr {Scheme Variable} haskell-build-system
|
|
|
|
|
This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system haskell)}. It
|
|
|
|
|
implements the Cabal build procedure used by Haskell packages, which
|
|
|
|
|
involves running @code{runhaskell Setup.hs configure
|
|
|
|
|
--prefix=/gnu/store/@dots{}} and @code{runhaskell Setup.hs build}.
|
|
|
|
|
Instead of installing the package by running @code{runhaskell Setup.hs
|
|
|
|
|
install}, to avoid trying to register libraries in the read-only
|
|
|
|
|
compiler store directory, the build system uses @code{runhaskell
|
|
|
|
|
Setup.hs copy}, followed by @code{runhaskell Setup.hs register}. In
|
|
|
|
|
addition, the build system generates the package documentation by
|
|
|
|
|
running @code{runhaskell Setup.hs haddock}, unless @code{#:haddock? #f}
|
|
|
|
|
is passed. Optional Haddock parameters can be passed with the help of
|
|
|
|
|
the @code{#:haddock-flags} parameter. If the file @code{Setup.hs} is
|
|
|
|
|
not found, the build system looks for @code{Setup.lhs} instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Which Haskell compiler is used can be specified with the @code{#:haskell}
|
2015-05-28 12:41:04 +00:00

This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system emacs)}. It
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
implements an installation procedure similar to the packaging system
|
|
|
|
|
of Emacs itself (@pxref{Packages,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}).
|
2015-06-21 08:10:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It first creates the @code{@var{package}-autoloads.el} file, then it
|
|
|
|
|
byte compiles all Emacs Lisp files. Differently from the Emacs
|
|
|
|
|
packaging system, the Info documentation files are moved to the standard
|
|
|
|
|
documentation directory and the @file{dir} file is deleted. Each
|
|
|
|
|
package is installed in its own directory under

@file{share/emacs/site-lisp/guix.d}.

Lastly, for packages that do not need anything as sophisticated, a
|
|
|
|
|
``trivial'' build system is provided. It is trivial in the sense that
|
|
|
|
|
it provides basically no support: it does not pull any implicit inputs,
|
|
|
|
|
and does not have a notion of build phases.

This build system requires a @code{#:builder} argument. This argument
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
must be a Scheme expression that builds the package output(s)---as
|

|
|
|
|
with @code{build-expression->derivation} (@pxref{Derivations,

Conceptually, the @dfn{store} is the place where derivations that have
|
|
|
|
|
been built successfully are stored---by default, @file{/gnu/store}.
|
2013-01-15 22:32:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Sub-directories in the store are referred to as @dfn{store paths}. The
|
2015-08-02 20:24:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
store has an associated database that contains information such as the
|
2013-01-15 22:32:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
store paths referred to by each store path, and the list of @emph{valid}
|
|
|
|
|
store paths---paths that result from a successful build.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The store is always accessed by the daemon on behalf of its clients
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Invoking guix-daemon}). To manipulate the store, clients
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
connect to the daemon over a Unix-domain socket, send requests to it,
|
|
|
|
|
and read the result---these are remote procedure calls, or RPCs.
|
2013-01-15 22:32:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{(guix store)} module provides procedures to connect to the
|
|
|
|
|
daemon, and to perform RPCs. These are described below.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@deffn {Scheme Procedure} open-connection [@var{file}] [#:reserve-space? #t]
|
|
|
|
|
Connect to the daemon over the Unix-domain socket at @var{file}. When
|
|
|
|
|
@var{reserve-space?} is true, instruct it to reserve a little bit of
|
|
|
|
|
extra space on the file system so that the garbage collector can still
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
operate should the disk become full. Return a server object.
|
2013-01-15 22:32:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@var{file} defaults to @var{%default-socket-path}, which is the normal

location given the options that were passed to @command{configure}.

Low-level build actions and the environment in which they are performed

are represented by @dfn{derivations}. A derivation contain the

|
|
|
|
@itemize
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|

The outputs of the derivation---derivations produce at least one file or
|
|
|
|
|
directory in the store, but may produce more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|

|
The inputs of the derivations, which may be other derivations or plain

files in the store (patches, build scripts, etc.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

@cindex derivation path
|
|
|
|
|
Derivations allow clients of the daemon to communicate build actions to
|
|
|
|
|
the store. They exist in two forms: as an in-memory representation,
|
|
|
|
|
both on the client- and daemon-side, and as files in the store whose
|
|
|
|
|
name end in @code{.drv}---these files are referred to as @dfn{derivation
|
|
|
|
|
paths}. Derivations paths can be passed to the @code{build-derivations}
|
|
|
|
|
procedure to perform the build actions they prescribe (@pxref{The
|
|
|
|
|
Store}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{(guix derivations)} module provides a representation of
|
|
|
|
|
derivations as Scheme objects, along with procedures to create and
|
|
|
|
|
otherwise manipulate derivations. The lowest-level primitive to create
|
|
|
|
|
a derivation is the @code{derivation} procedure:

@dfn{fixed-output derivation} is created---i.e., one whose result is

2014-02-21 22:03:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
known in advance, such as a file download. If, in addition,
|
|

|
|
@var{recursive?} is true, then that fixed output may be an executable
|
|
|
|
|
file or a directory and @var{hash} must be the hash of an archive
|
|
|
|
|
containing this output.

name/store path pairs. In that case, the reference graph of each store

a simple text format.

2015-04-30 21:51:44 +00:00

denoting environment variables that are allowed to ``leak'' from the
|
|
|
|
|
daemon's environment to the build environment. This is only applicable
|
|
|
|
|
to fixed-output derivations---i.e., when @var{hash} is true. The main
|
|
|
|
|
use is to allow variables such as @code{http_proxy} to be passed to
|
|
|
|
|
derivations that download files.

When @var{local-build?} is true, declare that the derivation is not a
|
|
|
|
|
good candidate for offloading and should rather be built locally
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Daemon Offload Setup}). This is the case for small derivations
|
|
|
|
|
where the costs of data transfers would outweigh the benefits.

|
|

When @var{substitutable?} is false, declare that substitutes of the
|
|
|
|
|
derivation's output should not be used (@pxref{Substitutes}). This is
|
|
|
|
|
useful, for instance, when building packages that capture details of the
|
|
|
|
|
host CPU instruction set.

As can be guessed, this primitive is cumbersome to use directly. A
|
|
|
|
|
better approach is to write build scripts in Scheme, of course! The
|
|
|
|
|
best course of action for that is to write the build code as a
|
|
|
|
|
``G-expression'', and to pass it to @code{gexp->derivation}. For more
|
2014-07-25 20:05:17 +00:00

information, @pxref{G-Expressions}.
|
2014-04-28 21:00:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once upon a time, @code{gexp->derivation} did not exist and constructing
|
|
|
|
|
derivations with build code written in Scheme was achieved with
|
|
|
|
|
@code{build-expression->derivation}, documented below. This procedure
|
|
|
|
|
is now deprecated in favor of the much nicer @code{gexp->derivation}.

@var{exp} is evaluated in an environment where @code{%outputs} is bound
|
|
|
|
|
to a list of output/path pairs, and where @code{%build-inputs} is bound
|
|
|
|
|
to a list of string/output-path pairs made from @var{inputs}.
|
|
|
|
|
Optionally, @var{env-vars} is a list of string pairs specifying the name
|
|
|
|
|
and value of environment variables visible to the builder. The builder
|
|
|
|
|
terminates by passing the result of @var{exp} to @code{exit}; thus, when
|
|
|
|
|
@var{exp} returns @code{#f}, the build is considered to have failed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@var{exp} is built using @var{guile-for-build} (a derivation). When
|
|
|
|
|
@var{guile-for-build} is omitted or is @code{#f}, the value of the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{%guile-for-build} fluid is used instead.

The procedures that operate on the store described in the previous
|
|
|
|
|
sections all take an open connection to the build daemon as their first
|
|
|
|
|
argument. Although the underlying model is functional, they either have
|
|
|
|
|
side effects or depend on the current state of the store.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The former is inconvenient: the connection to the build daemon has to be
|
|
|
|
|
carried around in all those functions, making it impossible to compose
|
|
|
|
|
functions that do not take that parameter with functions that do. The
|
|
|
|
|
latter can be problematic: since store operations have side effects
|
|
|
|
|
and/or depend on external state, they have to be properly sequenced.

This is where the @code{(guix monads)} module comes in. This module
|
|
|
|
|
provides a framework for working with @dfn{monads}, and a particularly
|
|
|
|
|
useful monad for our uses, the @dfn{store monad}. Monads are a
|
|
|
|
|
construct that allows two things: associating ``context'' with values
|
|
|
|
|
(in our case, the context is the store), and building sequences of
|
2015-01-17 22:43:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
computations (here computations include accesses to the store.) Values
|
2013-10-03 20:45:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
in a monad---values that carry this additional context---are called
|
|
|
|
|
@dfn{monadic values}; procedures that return such values are called
|
|
|
|
|
@dfn{monadic procedures}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consider this ``normal'' procedure:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2014-02-03 22:12:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
(define (sh-symlink store)
|
|
|
|
|
;; Return a derivation that symlinks the 'bash' executable.
|
|
|
|
|
(let* ((drv (package-derivation store bash))
|
|
|
|
|
(out (derivation->output-path drv))
|
|
|
|
|
(sh (string-append out "/bin/bash")))
|
|
|
|
|
(build-expression->derivation store "sh"
|
|
|
|
|
`(symlink ,sh %output))))
|
2013-10-03 20:45:25 +00:00

2015-05-04 13:05:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Using @code{(guix monads)} and @code{(guix gexp)}, it may be rewritten
|
|
|
|
|
as a monadic function:
|
2013-10-03 20:45:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2014-02-03 22:12:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
(define (sh-symlink)
|
2013-10-03 20:45:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
;; Same, but return a monadic value.
|
2015-05-04 13:05:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
(mlet %store-monad ((drv (package->derivation bash)))
|
|
|
|
|
(gexp->derivation "sh"
|
|
|
|
|
#~(symlink (string-append #$drv "/bin/bash")
|
|
|
|
|
#$output))))
|
2013-10-03 20:45:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-05-04 13:05:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
There several things to note in the second version: the @code{store}
|
|
|
|
|
parameter is now implicit and is ``threaded'' in the calls to the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{package->derivation} and @code{gexp->derivation} monadic
|
|
|
|
|
procedures, and the monadic value returned by @code{package->derivation}
|
|
|
|
|
is @dfn{bound} using @code{mlet} instead of plain @code{let}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As it turns out, the call to @code{package->derivation} can even be
|
|
|
|
|
omitted since it will take place implicitly, as we will see later
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{G-Expressions}):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(define (sh-symlink)
|
|
|
|
|
(gexp->derivation "sh"
|
|
|
|
|
#~(symlink (string-append #$bash "/bin/bash")
|
|
|
|
|
#$output)))
|
|
|

@c for the funny quote.

|

Calling the monadic @code{sh-symlink} has no effect. As someone once
|
|
|
|
|
said, ``you exit a monad like you exit a building on fire: by running''.
|
|
|
|
|
So, to exit the monad and get the desired effect, one must use
|
|
|
|
|
@code{run-with-store}:
|
2013-10-03 20:45:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2015-05-01 13:54:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
(run-with-store (open-connection) (sh-symlink))
|
|
|
|
|
@result{} /gnu/store/...-sh-symlink

@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Note that the @code{(guix monad-repl)} module extends the Guile REPL with
|
2014-08-15 14:22:11 +00:00
|
|
|
|
new ``meta-commands'' to make it easier to deal with monadic procedures:
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{run-in-store}, and @code{enter-store-monad}. The former is used
|
2014-08-15 14:22:11 +00:00
|
|
|
|
to ``run'' a single monadic value through the store:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
scheme@@(guile-user)> ,run-in-store (package->derivation hello)
|
|
|
|
|
$1 = #<derivation /gnu/store/@dots{}-hello-2.9.drv => @dots{}>
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The latter enters a recursive REPL, where all the return values are
|
|
|
|
|
automatically run through the store:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
scheme@@(guile-user)> ,enter-store-monad
|
|
|
|
|
store-monad@@(guile-user) [1]> (package->derivation hello)
|
|
|
|
|
$2 = #<derivation /gnu/store/@dots{}-hello-2.9.drv => @dots{}>
|
|
|
|
|
store-monad@@(guile-user) [1]> (text-file "foo" "Hello!")
|
|
|
|
|
$3 = "/gnu/store/@dots{}-foo"
|
|
|
|
|
store-monad@@(guile-user) [1]> ,q
|
|

@end example

@cindex state monad
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{(guix monads)} module provides the @dfn{state monad}, which
|
|
|
|
|
allows an additional value---the state---to be @emph{threaded} through
|
|
|
|
|
monadic procedure calls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@defvr {Scheme Variable} %state-monad
|
|
|
|
|
The state monad. Procedures in the state monad can access and change
|
|
|
|
|
the state that is threaded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consider the example below. The @code{square} procedure returns a value
|
|
|
|
|
in the state monad. It returns the square of its argument, but also
|
|
|
|
|
increments the current state value:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(define (square x)
|
|
|
|
|
(mlet %state-monad ((count (current-state)))
|
|
|
|
|
(mbegin %state-monad
|
|
|
|
|
(set-current-state (+ 1 count))
|
|
|
|
|
(return (* x x)))))
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(run-with-state (sequence %state-monad (map square (iota 3))) 0)
|
|
|
|
|
@result{} (0 1 4)
|
|
|
|
|
@result{} 3
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When ``run'' through @var{%state-monad}, we obtain that additional state
|
|
|
|
|
value, which is the number of @code{square} calls.
|
|
|
|
|
@end defvr
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
@deffn {Monadic Procedure} current-state
|
|

Values in the store monad encapsulate accesses to the store. When its

Return the name of @var{file} once interned in the store. Use

@var{name} is omitted.

is true, its contents are added, and its permission bits are kept.

So we have ``derivations'', which represent a sequence of build actions

to be performed to produce an item in the store (@pxref{Derivations}).
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
These build actions are performed when asking the daemon to actually
|
2014-04-28 21:00:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
build the derivations; they are run by the daemon in a container

It should come as no surprise that we like to write these build actions
|
2014-04-28 21:00:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
in Scheme. When we do that, we end up with two @dfn{strata} of Scheme
|
|
|
|
|
code@footnote{The term @dfn{stratum} in this context was coined by
|
2014-05-08 19:50:53 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Manuel Serrano et al.@: in the context of their work on Hop. Oleg
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
|
@url{http://okmij.org/ftp/meta-programming/#meta-scheme, essays and code
|
|
|
|
|
on this topic}, refers to this kind of code generation as
|
|
|
|
|
@dfn{staging}.}: the ``host code''---code that defines packages, talks
|
|
|
|
|
to the daemon, etc.---and the ``build code''---code that actually
|
|
|
|
|
performs build actions, such as making directories, invoking
|
|
|
|
|
@command{make}, etc.
|
2014-04-28 21:00:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To describe a derivation and its build actions, one typically needs to
|
|
|
|
|
embed build code inside host code. It boils down to manipulating build
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
code as data, and the homoiconicity of Scheme---code has a direct
|
2014-04-28 21:00:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
representation as data---comes in handy for that. But we need more than
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
the normal @code{quasiquote} mechanism in Scheme to construct build
|
2014-04-28 21:00:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
expressions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{(guix gexp)} module implements @dfn{G-expressions}, a form of
|
|
|
|
|
S-expressions adapted to build expressions. G-expressions, or
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@dfn{gexps}, consist essentially of three syntactic forms: @code{gexp},
|
2014-04-28 21:00:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{ungexp}, and @code{ungexp-splicing} (or simply: @code{#~},
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{#$}, and @code{#$@@}), which are comparable to
|
|
|
|
|
@code{quasiquote}, @code{unquote}, and @code{unquote-splicing},
|
|
|
|
|
respectivel (@pxref{Expression Syntax, @code{quasiquote},, guile,
|
|
|
|
|
GNU Guile Reference Manual}). However, there are major differences:
|
2014-04-28 21:00:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@itemize
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
|
Gexps are meant to be written to a file and run or manipulated by other
|
|
|
|
|
processes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
2015-03-28 20:16:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
When a high-level object such as a package or derivation is unquoted
|
|
|
|
|
inside a gexp, the result is as if its output file name had been
|
|
|
|
|
introduced.
|

2014-04-28 21:00:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
|
Gexps carry information about the packages or derivations they refer to,
|
|
|
|
|
and these dependencies are automatically added as inputs to the build
|
|
|
|
|
processes that use them.

@cindex lowering, of high-level objects in gexps
|
2015-06-05 12:53:32 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This mechanism is not limited to package and derivation
|
|
|
|
|
objects: @dfn{compilers} able to ``lower'' other high-level objects to
|
2015-08-26 09:28:23 +00:00
|
|
|
|
derivations or files in the store can be defined,
|
|
|
|
|
such that these objects can also be inserted
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
into gexps. For example, a useful type of high-level objects that can be
|
2015-06-05 12:53:32 +00:00
|
|
|
|
inserted in a gexp is ``file-like objects'', which make it easy to
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
add files to the store and to refer to them in
|
2015-06-03 09:45:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
derivations and such (see @code{local-file} and @code{plain-file}
|
|
|
|
|
below.)
|
2015-03-28 20:16:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-04-28 21:00:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
To illustrate the idea, here is an example of a gexp:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(define build-exp
|
|
|
|
|
#~(begin
|
|
|
|
|
(mkdir #$output)
|
|
|
|
|
(chdir #$output)
|
2015-03-17 14:21:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
(symlink (string-append #$coreutils "/bin/ls")
|
2014-04-28 21:00:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
"list-files")))
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This gexp can be passed to @code{gexp->derivation}; we obtain a
|
|
|
|
|
derivation that builds a directory containing exactly one symlink to
|
|
|
|
|
@file{/gnu/store/@dots{}-coreutils-8.22/bin/ls}:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(gexp->derivation "the-thing" build-exp)
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-05-03 10:02:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
As one would expect, the @code{"/gnu/store/@dots{}-coreutils-8.22"} string is
|
2014-04-28 21:00:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
substituted to the reference to the @var{coreutils} package in the
|
|
|
|
|
actual build code, and @var{coreutils} is automatically made an input to
|
|
|
|
|
the derivation. Likewise, @code{#$output} (equivalent to @code{(ungexp
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
output)}) is replaced by a string containing the directory name of the
|
|
|
|
|
output of the derivation.

In a cross-compilation context, it is useful to distinguish between
|
|
|
|
|
references to the @emph{native} build of a package---that can run on the
|
|
|
|
|
host---versus references to cross builds of a package. To that end, the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{#+} plays the same role as @code{#$}, but is a reference to a
|
|
|
|
|
native package build:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(gexp->derivation "vi"
|
|
|
|
|
#~(begin
|
|
|
|
|
(mkdir #$output)
|
|
|
|
|
(system* (string-append #+coreutils "/bin/ln")
|
|
|
|
|
"-s"
|
|
|
|
|
(string-append #$emacs "/bin/emacs")
|
|
|
|
|
(string-append #$output "/bin/vi")))
|
|
|
|
|
#:target "mips64el-linux")
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
|
In the example above, the native build of @var{coreutils} is used, so
|
|
|
|
|
that @command{ln} can actually run on the host; but then the
|
|
|
|
|
cross-compiled build of @var{emacs} is referenced.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The syntactic form to construct gexps is summarized below.

@deffn {Scheme Syntax} #~@var{exp}
|
|
|
|
|
@deffnx {Scheme Syntax} (gexp @var{exp})
|
|
|
|
|
Return a G-expression containing @var{exp}. @var{exp} may contain one
|
|
|
|
|
or more of the following forms:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
@item #$@var{obj}
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx (ungexp @var{obj})
|
2015-03-28 20:16:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Introduce a reference to @var{obj}. @var{obj} may have one of the
|
|
|
|
|
supported types, for example a package or a
|
2014-04-28 21:00:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
derivation, in which case the @code{ungexp} form is replaced by its
|
|
|
|
|
output file name---e.g., @code{"/gnu/store/@dots{}-coreutils-8.22}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-03-28 20:16:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
If @var{obj} is a list, it is traversed and references to supported
|
|
|
|
|
objects are substituted similarly.
|
2014-04-28 21:00:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If @var{obj} is another gexp, its contents are inserted and its
|
|
|
|
|
dependencies are added to those of the containing gexp.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If @var{obj} is another kind of object, it is inserted as is.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-03-28 20:16:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item #$@var{obj}:@var{output}
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx (ungexp @var{obj} @var{output})
|
2014-04-28 21:00:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This is like the form above, but referring explicitly to the
|
2015-03-28 20:16:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@var{output} of @var{obj}---this is useful when @var{obj} produces
|
|
|
|
|
multiple outputs (@pxref{Packages with Multiple Outputs}).

@var{guile-for-build} (a derivation) on @var{system}; @var{exp} is

it is used as the cross-compilation target triplet for packages referred

When @var{references-graphs} is true, it must be a list of tuples of one of the

following forms:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(@var{file-name} @var{package})
|
|
|
|
|
(@var{file-name} @var{package} @var{output})
|
|
|
|
|
(@var{file-name} @var{derivation})
|

|
(@var{file-name} @var{derivation} @var{output})

|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The right-hand-side of each element of @var{references-graphs} is automatically made
|
|
|
|
|
an input of the build process of @var{exp}. In the build environment, each
|
|
|
|
|
@var{file-name} contains the reference graph of the corresponding item, in a simple
|
|
|
|
|
text format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-02-11 21:10:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@var{allowed-references} must be either @code{#f} or a list of output names and packages.
|
|
|
|
|
In the latter case, the list denotes store items that the result is allowed to
|
|
|
|
|
refer to. Any reference to another store item will lead to a build error.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-05-03 10:02:43 +00:00

@cindex file-like objects
|
2015-09-16 13:03:52 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The @code{local-file}, @code{plain-file}, @code{computed-file},
|
|
|
|
|
@code{program-file}, and @code{scheme-file} procedures below return
|
|
|
|
|
@dfn{file-like objects}. That is, when unquoted in a G-expression,
|
|
|
|
|
these objects lead to a file in the store. Consider this G-expression:
|
2015-06-05 12:53:32 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
#~(system* (string-append #$glibc "/sbin/nscd") "-f"
|
|
|
|
|
#$(local-file "/tmp/my-nscd.conf"))
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The effect here is to ``intern'' @file{/tmp/my-nscd.conf} by copying it
|
|
|
|
|
to the store. Once expanded, for instance @i{via}
|
|
|
|
|
@code{gexp->derivation}, the G-expression refers to that copy under
|
|
|
|
|
@file{/gnu/store}; thus, modifying or removing the file in @file{/tmp}
|
|
|
|
|
does not have any effect on what the G-expression does.
|
|
|
|
|
@code{plain-file} can be used similarly; it differs in that the file
|
|
|
|
|
content is directly passed as a string.

@deffn {Scheme Procedure} local-file @var{file} [@var{name}] @
|
|
|
|
|
[#:recursive? #t]
|
|
|
|
|
Return an object representing local file @var{file} to add to the store; this
|
2015-12-14 18:52:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
object can be used in a gexp. If @var{file} is a relative file name, it is looked
|
|
|
|
|
up relative to the source file where this form appears. @var{file} will be added to
|
|
|
|
|
the store under @var{name}--by default the base name of @var{file}.
|
2015-03-28 20:26:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When @var{recursive?} is true, the contents of @var{file} are added recursively; if @var{file}
|
|
|
|
|
designates a flat file and @var{recursive?} is true, its contents are added, and its
|
|
|
|
|
permission bits are kept.

Return a derivation that builds a file @var{name} containing @var{exp}.
|
|
|
|
|

The resulting file holds references to all the dependencies of @var{exp}

@deffn {Monadic Procedure} text-file* @var{name} @var{text} @dots{}
|
|
|
|
|
Return as a monadic value a derivation that builds a text file
|
|
|
|
|
containing all of @var{text}. @var{text} may list, in addition to
|
2015-03-28 20:26:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
strings, objects of any type that can be used in a gexp: packages,
|
|
|
|
|
derivations, local file objects, etc. The resulting store file holds
|
|
|
|
|
references to all these.
|
2015-01-14 10:22:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This variant should be preferred over @code{text-file} anytime the file
|
|
|
|
|
to create will reference items from the store. This is typically the
|
|
|
|
|
case when building a configuration file that embeds store file names,
|
|
|
|
|
like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(define (profile.sh)
|
|
|
|
|
;; Return the name of a shell script in the store that
|
|
|
|
|
;; initializes the 'PATH' environment variable.
|
|
|
|
|
(text-file* "profile.sh"
|
|
|
|
|
"export PATH=" coreutils "/bin:"
|
|
|
|
|
grep "/bin:" sed "/bin\n"))
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this example, the resulting @file{/gnu/store/@dots{}-profile.sh} file
|
|
|
|
|
will references @var{coreutils}, @var{grep}, and @var{sed}, thereby
|
|
|
|
|
preventing them from being garbage-collected during its lifetime.

@deffn {Scheme Procedure} mixed-text-file @var{name} @var{text} @dots{}
|
|
|

Return an object representing store file @var{name} containing

|
|
@var{text}. @var{text} is a sequence of strings and file-like objects,
|
|
|
|
|

Of course, in addition to gexps embedded in ``host'' code, there are
|
|
|
|
|
also modules containing build tools. To make it clear that they are
|
|
|
|
|
meant to be used in the build stratum, these modules are kept in the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{(guix build @dots{})} name space.

@cindex lowering, of high-level objects in gexps
|
|
|
|
|
Internally, high-level objects are @dfn{lowered}, using their compiler,
|
|
|
|
|
to either derivations or store items. For instance, lowering a package
|
|
|
|
|
yields a derivation, and lowering a @code{plain-file} yields a store
|
|
|
|
|
item. This is achieved using the @code{lower-object} monadic procedure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@deffn {Monadic Procedure} lower-object @var{obj} [@var{system}] @
|
|
|
|
|
[#:target #f]
|
|
|
|
|
Return as a value in @var{%store-monad} the derivation or store item
|
|
|
|
|
corresponding to @var{obj} for @var{system}, cross-compiling for
|
|
|
|
|
@var{target} if @var{target} is true. @var{obj} must be an object that
|
|
|
|
|
has an associated gexp compiler, such as a @code{<package>}.

@var{package-or-derivation} may be either the name of a package found in
|
2013-01-22 21:13:10 +00:00
|
|
|
|
the software distribution such as @code{coreutils} or
|
|
|
|
|
@code{coreutils-8.20}, or a derivation such as
|
2014-03-09 21:09:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@file{/gnu/store/@dots{}-coreutils-8.19.drv}. In the former case, a
|
2014-03-07 09:21:34 +00:00
|
|
|
|
package with the corresponding name (and optionally version) is searched
|
|
|
|
|
for among the GNU distribution modules (@pxref{Package Modules}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, the @code{--expression} option may be used to specify a

|
|
|
|
Scheme expression that evaluates to a package; this is useful when
|
|
|
|
|
disambiguation among several same-named packages or package variants is

@subsection Common Build Options
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A number of options that control the build process are common to
|
|
|
|
|
@command{guix build} and other commands that can spawn builds, such as
|
|
|
|
|
@command{guix package} or @command{guix archive}. These are the
|
|
|
|
|
following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --load-path=@var{directory}
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx -L @var{directory}
|
|
|
|
|
Add @var{directory} to the front of the package module search path
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Package Modules}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This allows users to define their own packages and make them visible to
|
|
|
|
|
the command-line tools.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --keep-failed
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx -K
|
|
|
|
|
Keep the build tree of failed builds. Thus, if a build fail, its build
|
|
|
|
|
tree is kept under @file{/tmp}, in a directory whose name is shown at
|
|
|
|
|
the end of the build log. This is useful when debugging build issues.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --keep-going
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx -k
|
|
|
|
|
Keep going when some of the derivations fail to build; return only once
|
|
|
|
|
all the builds have either completed or failed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The default behavior is to stop as soon as one of the specified
|
|
|
|
|
derivations has failed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --dry-run
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx -n
|
|
|
|
|
Do not build the derivations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --fallback
|
|
|
|
|
When substituting a pre-built binary fails, fall back to building
|
|
|
|
|
packages locally.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --substitute-urls=@var{urls}
|
|
|
|
|
@anchor{client-substitute-urls}
|
|
|
|
|
Consider @var{urls} the whitespace-separated list of substitute source
|
|
|
|
|
URLs, overriding the default list of URLs of @command{guix-daemon}
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{daemon-substitute-urls,, @command{guix-daemon} URLs}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This means that substitutes may be downloaded from @var{urls}, provided
|
|
|

(@pxref{Substitutes}).
|
|
|

|
|

|
@item --no-substitutes
|
|
|
|
|
Do not use substitutes for build products. That is, always build things
|
|
|
|
|
locally instead of allowing downloads of pre-built binaries
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Substitutes}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --rounds=@var{n}
|
|
|
|
|
Build each derivation @var{n} times in a row, and raise an error if
|
|
|
|
|
consecutive build results are not bit-for-bit identical.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a useful way to detect non-deterministic builds processes.
|
|
|
|
|
Non-deterministic build processes are a problem because they make it
|
|
|
|
|
practically impossible for users to @emph{verify} whether third-party
|
|
|
|
|
binaries are genuine. @xref{Invoking guix challenge}, for more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that, currently, the differing build results are not kept around,
|
|
|
|
|
so you will have to manually investigate in case of an error---e.g., by
|
|
|
|
|
stashing one of the build results with @code{guix archive --export},
|
|
|
|
|
then rebuilding, and finally comparing the two results.

@item --no-build-hook
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Do not attempt to offload builds @i{via} the ``build hook'' of the daemon
|
2016-01-31 20:04:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Daemon Offload Setup}). That is, always build things locally
|
|
|
|
|
instead of offloading builds to remote machines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --max-silent-time=@var{seconds}
|
|
|
|
|
When the build or substitution process remains silent for more than
|
|
|
|
|
@var{seconds}, terminate it and report a build failure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --timeout=@var{seconds}
|
|
|
|
|
Likewise, when the build or substitution process lasts for more than
|
|
|
|
|
@var{seconds}, terminate it and report a build failure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default there is no timeout. This behavior can be restored with
|
|
|
|
|
@code{--timeout=0}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --verbosity=@var{level}
|
|
|
|
|
Use the given verbosity level. @var{level} must be an integer between 0
|
|
|
|
|
and 5; higher means more verbose output. Setting a level of 4 or more
|
|
|
|
|
may be helpful when debugging setup issues with the build daemon.

|
|
|
|
@item --cores=@var{n}
|
|
|
|

@itemx -c @var{n}
|
|
|
|
|
Allow the use of up to @var{n} CPU cores for the build. The special
|
|
|
|
|
value @code{0} means to use as many CPU cores as available.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
@item --max-jobs=@var{n}
|
|
|

Behind the scenes, @command{guix build} is essentially an interface to
|
|
|
|
|
the @code{package-derivation} procedure of the @code{(guix packages)}
|
|
|
|
|
module, and to the @code{build-derivations} procedure of the @code{(guix
|
|
|
|
|
derivations)} module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to options explicitly passed on the command line,
|
|
|
|
|
@command{guix build} and other @command{guix} commands that support
|
|
|
|
|
building honor the @code{GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS} environment variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@defvr {Environment Variable} GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
Users can define this variable to a list of command line options that
|
|
|
|
|
will automatically be used by @command{guix build} and other
|
|
|
|
|
@command{guix} commands that can perform builds, as in the example
|
|
|
|
|
below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ export GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS="--no-substitutes -c 2 -L /foo/bar"
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These options are parsed independently, and the result is appended to
|
|
|
|
|
the parsed command-line options.

and also @command{guix package} are @dfn{package transformation
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|

options}. These are options that make it possible to define @dfn{package
|
2016-01-31 20:33:08 +00:00
|
|
|
|
variants}---for instance, packages built from different source code.
|
|
|
|
|
This is a convenient way to create customized packages on the fly
|
|
|
|
|
without having to type in the definitions of package variants
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Defining Packages}).

@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --with-source=@var{source}
|
|
|
|
|
Use @var{source} as the source of the corresponding package.
|
|
|
|
|
@var{source} must be a file name or a URL, as for @command{guix
|
|
|
|
|
download} (@pxref{Invoking guix download}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The ``corresponding package'' is taken to be the one specified on the
|
|
|
|
|
command line the name of which matches the base of @var{source}---e.g.,
|
|
|
|
|
if @var{source} is @code{/src/guile-2.0.10.tar.gz}, the corresponding
|
2016-01-31 19:44:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
package is @code{guile}. Likewise, the version string is inferred from
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@var{source}; in the previous example, it is @code{2.0.10}.
|
2016-01-31 19:44:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This option allows users to try out versions of packages other than the
|
|
|
|
|
one provided by the distribution. The example below downloads
|
|
|
|
|
@file{ed-1.7.tar.gz} from a GNU mirror and uses that as the source for
|
|
|
|
|
the @code{ed} package:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix build ed --with-source=mirror://gnu/ed/ed-1.7.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a developer, @code{--with-source} makes it easy to test release
|
|
|
|
|
candidates:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix build guile --with-source=../guile-2.0.9.219-e1bb7.tar.xz
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@dots{} or to build from a checkout in a pristine environment:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/guix.git
|
|
|
|
|
$ guix build guix --with-source=./guix
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-01-31 22:22:18 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item --with-input=@var{package}=@var{replacement}
|
|
|
|
|
Replace dependency on @var{package} by a dependency on
|
|
|
|
|
@var{replacement}. @var{package} must be a package name, and
|
|
|
|
|
@var{replacement} must be a package specification such as @code{guile}
|
|
|
|
|
or @code{guile@@1.8}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
For instance, the following command builds Guix, but replaces its
|
2016-01-31 22:22:18 +00:00
|
|
|
|
dependency on the current stable version of Guile with a dependency on
|
|
|
|
|
the development version of Guile, @code{guile-next}:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix build --with-input=guile=guile-next guix
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a recursive, deep replacement. So in this example, both
|
|
|
|
|
@code{guix} and its dependency @code{guile-json} (which also depends on
|
|
|
|
|
@code{guile}) get rebuilt against @code{guile-next}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, implicit inputs are left unchanged.

@itemx -f @var{file}

Build the package or derivation that the code within @var{file}
|
|
|
|
|
evaluates to.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As an example, @var{file} might contain a package definition like this
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Defining Packages}):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example

|
|
|
@itemx -e @var{expr}
|
2013-11-18 22:08:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Build the package or derivation @var{expr} evaluates to.
|
2012-11-07 16:07:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2013-01-22 21:13:10 +00:00
|
|
|
|
For example, @var{expr} may be @code{(@@ (gnu packages guile)
|
2012-11-07 16:07:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
guile-1.8)}, which unambiguously designates this specific variant of
|
|
|
|
|
version 1.8 of Guile.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, @var{expr} may be a G-expression, in which case it is used
|
2014-06-14 20:37:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
as a build program passed to @code{gexp->derivation}
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{G-Expressions}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lastly, @var{expr} may refer to a zero-argument monadic procedure
|
2013-11-18 22:08:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{The Store Monad}). The procedure must return a derivation as a
|
|
|
|
|
monadic value, which is then passed through @code{run-with-store}.
|
|
|
|
|

2012-11-07 16:07:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
themselves.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Replace individual scripts with master 'guix' script.
* scripts/guix.in: New script.
* Makefile.am (bin_SCRIPTS): Add 'scripts/guix'. Remove 'guix-build',

'guix/scripts/import.scm', 'guix/scripts/package.scm', and
'guix/scripts/gc.scm'.
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add 'scripts/guix'. Remove 'guix-build',
'guix-download', 'guix-import', 'guix-package', and 'guix-gc'.
* guix-build.in, guix-download.in, guix-gc.in, guix-import.in,
guix-package.in: Remove shell script boilerplate. Move to guix-COMMAND.in
to guix/scripts/COMMAND.scm. Rename module from (guix-COMMAND) to
(guix scripts COMMAND). Change "guix-COMMAND" to "guix COMMAND" in
usage help string.
* pre-inst-env.in: Add "@abs_top_builddir@/scripts" to the front of $PATH.
Export $GUIX_UNINSTALLED.
* tests/guix-build.sh, tests/guix-daemon.sh, tests/guix-download.sh,
tests/guix-gc.sh, tests/guix-package.sh: Use "guix COMMAND" instead of
"guix-COMMAND".
* doc/guix.texi: Replace all occurrences of "guix-COMMAND" with
"guix COMMAND".
* po/POTFILES.in: Update.

Fetch and return the source of @var{package-or-derivation} and all their

|
dependencies, recursively. This is a handy way to obtain a local copy
|
|
|
|
|
of all the source code needed to build @var{packages}, allowing you to
|
|
|
|
|
eventually build them even without network access. It is an extension
|
|
|
|
|
of the @code{--source} option and can accept one of the following

optional argument values:

|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
@item package
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
as the @code{--source} option.

|
|
|
|

Thanks to Mark H. Weaver <mhw@netris.org> for insightful discussions
and suggestions.
* guix/packages.scm (<package>)[graft]: New field.
(patch-and-repack): Invoke 'package-derivation' with #:graft? #f.
(package-source-derivation): Likewise. Do not use (%guile-for-build)
in call to 'patch-and-repack', and we could end up using a grafted
Guile.
(expand-input): Likewise, also for 'package-cross-derivation' call.
(package->bag): Add #:graft? parameter. Honor it. Use 'strip-append'
instead of 'package-full-name'.

procedures.
(package-derivation, package-cross-derivation): Add #:graft? parameter
and honor it.

|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@var{package-or-derivation}, or raise an error if build logs are
|
2014-03-02 22:15:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
missing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This works regardless of how packages or derivations are specified. For
|
|
|
|
|
instance, the following invocations are equivalent:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix build --log-file `guix build -d guile`
|
|
|
|
|
guix build --log-file `guix build guile`
|
|
|
|
|
guix build --log-file guile
|
|
|
|
|
guix build --log-file -e '(@@ (gnu packages guile) guile-2.0)'
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-09-10 21:10:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
If a log is unavailable locally, and unless @code{--no-substitutes} is
|
|
|
|
|
passed, the command looks for a corresponding log on one of the
|
|
|
|
|
substitute servers (as specified with @code{--substitute-urls}.)

So for instance, imagine you want to see the build log of GDB on MIPS,
|
|
|
|
|
but you are actually on an @code{x86_64} machine:
|
2015-09-10 21:10:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ guix build --log-file gdb -s mips64el-linux
|
|
|
|
|
http://hydra.gnu.org/log/@dots{}-gdb-7.10
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can freely access a huge library of build logs!

@section Invoking @command{guix download}
|

|
|
|
|
|
When writing a package definition, developers typically need to download
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
a source tarball, compute its SHA256 hash, and write that
|
2013-05-11 14:18:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
hash in the package definition (@pxref{Defining Packages}). The
|
|
|
|
|
@command{guix download} tool helps with this task: it downloads a file
|
|
|
|
|
from the given URI, adds it to the store, and prints both its file name
|
|
|
|
|
in the store and its SHA256 hash.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The fact that the downloaded file is added to the store saves bandwidth:
|
|
|
|
|
when the developer eventually tries to build the newly defined package
|
|
|
|
|
with @command{guix build}, the source tarball will not have to be
|
|
|
|
|
downloaded again because it is already in the store. It is also a
|
|
|
|
|
convenient way to temporarily stash files, which may be deleted
|
|
|
|
|
eventually (@pxref{Invoking guix gc}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @command{guix download} command supports the same URIs as used in
|
|
|
|
|
package definitions. In particular, it supports @code{mirror://} URIs.
|
|
|
|
|
@code{https} URIs (HTTP over TLS) are supported @emph{provided} the
|
|
|
|
|
Guile bindings for GnuTLS are available in the user's environment; when
|
2014-10-26 16:06:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
they are not available, an error is raised. @xref{Guile Preparations,

The @command{guix hash} command computes the SHA256 hash of a file.
|
2013-04-21 17:20:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
It is primarily a convenience tool for anyone contributing to the
|
|
|
|
|
distribution: it computes the cryptographic hash of a file, which can be
|
|
|
|
|
used in the definition of a package (@pxref{Defining Packages}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The general syntax is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix hash @var{option} @var{file}
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
@table @code
|

|
|
|
@itemx -f @var{fmt}
|
2013-05-11 14:18:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Write the hash in the format specified by @var{fmt}.
|
2013-04-21 17:20:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Supported formats: @code{nix-base32}, @code{base32}, @code{base16}
|
|
|
|
|
(@code{hex} and @code{hexadecimal} can be used as well).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the @option{--format} option is not specified, @command{guix hash}
|
|
|
|
|
will output the hash in @code{nix-base32}. This representation is used
|
|
|
|
|
in the definitions of packages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-02-21 16:54:32 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item --recursive
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx -r
|
|
|
|
|
Compute the hash on @var{file} recursively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this case, the hash is computed on an archive containing @var{file},
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
including its children if it is a directory. Some of the metadata of
|
|
|
|
|
@var{file} is part of the archive; for instance, when @var{file} is a
|
2014-02-21 16:54:32 +00:00
|
|
|
|
regular file, the hash is different depending on whether @var{file} is
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
executable or not. Metadata such as time stamps has no impact on the
|
2014-02-21 16:54:32 +00:00
|
|
|
|
hash (@pxref{Invoking guix archive}).

The @command{guix import} command is useful for people who would like to
|
|
|
|
|
add a package to the distribution with as little work as
|
|
|
|
|
possible---a legitimate demand. The command knows of a few

repositories from which it can ``import'' package metadata. The result
|
2014-11-16 22:21:23 +00:00

is a package definition, or a template thereof, in the format we know
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Defining Packages}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

The general syntax is:

@var{importer} specifies the source from which to import package

2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
metadata, and @var{options} specifies a package identifier and other
|
2014-11-16 22:21:23 +00:00
|
|

options specific to @var{importer}. Currently, the available

@item gnu
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00

Import metadata for the given GNU package. This provides a template
|
2014-11-16 22:21:23 +00:00
|
|
|
|
for the latest version of that GNU package, including the hash of its

2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
some caveats, however. The metadata doesn't distinguish between
|
2015-08-17 01:15:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
synopses and descriptions, so the same string is used for both fields.
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally, the details of non-Ruby dependencies required to build
|
|
|
|
|
native extensions is unavailable and left as an exercise to the
|
|
|
|
|
packager.

@uref{http://nixos.org/nix/, Nix}.}. Package definitions in Nixpkgs are
|
|
|
|
|
typically written in a mixture of Nix-language and Bash code. This

command only imports the high-level package structure that is written in

The primary audience of the @command{guix refresh} command is developers
|
|
|
|
|
of the GNU software distribution. By default, it reports any packages
|
|
|
|
|
provided by the distribution that are outdated compared to the latest
|
|
|
|
|
upstream version, like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ guix refresh
|
|
|
|
|
gnu/packages/gettext.scm:29:13: gettext would be upgraded from 0.18.1.1 to 0.18.2.1
|
|
|
|
|
gnu/packages/glib.scm:77:12: glib would be upgraded from 2.34.3 to 2.37.0
|

It does so by browsing the FTP directory of each package and determining
|
|
|
|
|
the highest version number of the source tarballs therein. The command
|
2015-10-21 11:04:34 +00:00
|
|
|
|
knows how to update specific types of packages: GNU packages, ELPA
|
|
|
|
|
packages, etc.---see the documentation for @option{--type} below. The
|
|
|
|
|
are many packages, though, for which it lacks a method to determine
|
|
|
|
|
whether a new upstream release is available. However, the mechanism is
|
|
|
|
|
extensible, so feel free to get in touch with us to add a new method!

|
When passed @code{--update}, it modifies distribution source files to
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
update the version numbers and source tarball hashes of those package
|
2013-05-08 14:07:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
recipes (@pxref{Defining Packages}). This is achieved by downloading
|
|
|
|
|
each package's latest source tarball and its associated OpenPGP
|
|
|
|
|
signature, authenticating the downloaded tarball against its signature
|
|
|
|
|
using @command{gpg}, and finally computing its hash. When the public
|
|
|
|
|
key used to sign the tarball is missing from the user's keyring, an
|
|
|
|
|
attempt is made to automatically retrieve it from a public key server;
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
when this is successful, the key is added to the user's keyring; otherwise,
|
2013-05-08 14:07:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@command{guix refresh} reports an error.

This is useful to precisely refer to a package, as in this example:

guix refresh -l -e '(@@@@ (gnu packages commencement) glibc-final)'

@end example
|
|
|

the packages.)

@code{non-core}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{core} subset refers to all the packages at the core of the
|
|
|
|
|
distribution---i.e., packages that are used to build ``everything
|
|
|
|
|
else''. This includes GCC, libc, Binutils, Bash, etc. Usually,
|
|
|
|
|
changing one of these packages in the distribution entails a rebuild of
|
|
|
|
|
all the others. Thus, such updates are an inconvenience to users in
|
|
|
|
|
terms of build time or bandwidth used to achieve the upgrade.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{non-core} subset refers to the remaining packages. It is
|
|
|
|
|
typically useful in cases where an update of the core packages would be
|
|
|
|
|
inconvenient.

When considering whether to upgrade a package, it is sometimes
|
|
|
|
|
convenient to know which packages would be affected by the upgrade and
|
|
|
|
|
should be checked for compatibility. For this the following option may
|
|
|
|
|
be used when passing @command{guix refresh} one or more package names:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
@item --list-dependent
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx -l
|
|
|
|
|
List top-level dependent packages that would need to be rebuilt as a
|
|
|
|
|
result of upgrading one or more packages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|

Be aware that the @code{--list-dependent} option only
|
|
|

@emph{approximates} the rebuilds that would be required as a result of
|

|
|
|
an upgrade. More rebuilds might be required under some circumstances.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @command{guix size} command helps package developers profile the
|
|
|
|
|
disk usage of packages. It is easy to overlook the impact of an
|
|
|
|
|
additional dependency added to a package, or the impact of using a
|
|
|
|
|
single output for a package that could easily be split (@pxref{Packages
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
with Multiple Outputs}). Such are the typical issues that
|
2015-06-17 22:22:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@command{guix size} can highlight.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The command can be passed a package specification such as @code{gcc-4.8}
|
|
|
|
|
or @code{guile:debug}, or a file name in the store. Consider this
|
|
|
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ guix size coreutils
|
|
|
|
|
store item total self
|
|
|
|
|
/gnu/store/@dots{}-coreutils-8.23 70.0 13.9 19.8%

@cindex closure
|
|
|
|
|
The store items listed here constitute the @dfn{transitive closure} of
|
|
|
|
|
Coreutils---i.e., Coreutils and all its dependencies, recursively---as
|
|
|
|
|
would be returned by:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ guix gc -R /gnu/store/@dots{}-coreutils-8.23
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Here the output shows three columns next to store items. The first column,
|
2015-06-17 22:22:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
labeled ``total'', shows the size in mebibytes (MiB) of the closure of
|
|
|
|
|
the store item---that is, its own size plus the size of all its
|
|
|
|
|
dependencies. The next column, labeled ``self'', shows the size of the
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
item itself. The last column shows the ratio of the size of the item
|
|
|
|
|
itself to the space occupied by all the items listed here.
|
2015-06-17 22:22:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this example, we see that the closure of Coreutils weighs in at
|
|
|
|
|
70@tie{}MiB, half of which is taken by libc. (That libc represents a
|
|
|
|
|
large fraction of the closure is not a problem @i{per se} because it is
|
|
|
|
|
always available on the system anyway.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the package passed to @command{guix size} is available in the
|
|
|
|
|
store, @command{guix size} queries the daemon to determine its
|
|
|
|
|
dependencies, and measures its size in the store, similar to @command{du
|
|
|
|
|
-ms --apparent-size} (@pxref{du invocation,,, coreutils, GNU
|
|
|
|
|
Coreutils}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the given package is @emph{not} in the store, @command{guix size}
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
reports information based on the available substitutes
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Substitutes}). This makes it possible it to profile disk usage of
|
|
|
|
|
store items that are not even on disk, only available remotely.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
2015-06-21 21:25:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the example above, the map looks like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@image{images/coreutils-size-map,5in,, map of Coreutils disk usage
|
|
|
|
|
produced by @command{guix size}}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

This option requires that

|
|
|
@uref{http://wingolog.org/software/guile-charting/, Guile-Charting} be
|
|
|
|
|
installed and visible in Guile's module search path. When that is not

|
|
the case, @command{guix size} fails as it tries to load it.

2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
directly to the @command{dot} command of Graphviz. The general
|
2015-08-26 22:36:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
syntax is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix graph @var{options} @var{package}@dots{}
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, the following command generates a PDF file representing the
|
|
|
|
|
package DAG for the GNU@tie{}Core Utilities, showing its build-time
|
|
|
|
|
dependencies:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix graph coreutils | dot -Tpdf > dag.pdf
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The output looks like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@image{images/coreutils-graph,2in,,Dependency graph of the GNU Coreutils}
|
|

|
Nice little graph, no?
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
But there is more than one graph! The one above is concise: it is the
|
2015-08-26 22:36:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
graph of package objects, omitting implicit inputs such as GCC, libc,
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
grep, etc. It is often useful to have such a concise graph, but
|
|
|
|
|
sometimes one may want to see more details. @command{guix graph} supports
|
|
|
|
|
several types of graphs, allowing you to choose the level of detail:
|
2015-08-26 22:36:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
@item package
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This is the default type used in the example above. It shows the DAG of
|
2015-08-26 22:36:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
package objects, excluding implicit dependencies. It is concise, but
|
|
|
|
|
filters out many details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item bag-emerged
|
|
|
|
|
This is the package DAG, @emph{including} implicit inputs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For instance, the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix graph --type=bag-emerged coreutils | dot -Tpdf > dag.pdf
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
... yields this bigger graph:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@image{images/coreutils-bag-graph,,5in,Detailed dependency graph of the GNU Coreutils}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the bottom of the graph, we see all the implicit inputs of
|
|
|
|
|
@var{gnu-build-system} (@pxref{Build Systems, @code{gnu-build-system}}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Now, note that the dependencies of these implicit inputs---that is, the
|
2015-08-26 22:36:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@dfn{bootstrap dependencies} (@pxref{Bootstrapping})---are not shown
|
|
|
|
|
here, for conciseness.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item bag
|
|
|
|
|
Similar to @code{bag-emerged}, but this time including all the bootstrap
|
|
|
|
|
dependencies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-11-23 22:31:53 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item bag-with-origins
|
|
|
|
|
Similar to @code{bag}, but also showing origins and their dependencies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-08-26 22:36:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item derivations
|
|
|
|
|
This is the most detailed representation: It shows the DAG of
|
|
|
|
|
derivations (@pxref{Derivations}) and plain store items. Compared to
|
|
|
|
|
the above representation, many additional nodes are visible, including
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
build scripts, patches, Guile modules, etc.
|
2015-08-26 22:36:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
All the types above correspond to @emph{build-time dependencies}. The
|
2015-08-26 22:36:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
following graph type represents the @emph{run-time dependencies}:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
@item references
|
|
|
|
|
This is the graph of @dfn{references} of a package output, as returned
|
|
|
|
|
by @command{guix gc --references} (@pxref{Invoking guix gc}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the given package output is not available in the store, @command{guix
|
|
|
|
|
graph} attempts to obtain dependency information from substitutes.
|
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The available options are the following:

|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
|
|
|
@item --type=@var{type}
|
|
|
|

@itemx -t @var{type}
|
|
|
|

|
the values listed above.
|
|

@item --expression=@var{expr}
|
|
|
|

@itemx -e @var{expr}
|
|
|
|
|
Consider the package @var{expr} evaluates to.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is useful to precisely refer to a package, as in this example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix graph -e '(@@@@ (gnu packages commencement) gnu-make-final)'

@cindex development environments
|
2014-09-21 17:40:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The purpose of @command{guix environment} is to assist hackers in
|
|
|
|
|
creating reproducible development environments without polluting their
|
|
|
|
|
package profile. The @command{guix environment} tool takes one or more
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
packages, builds all of their inputs, and creates a shell
|
2014-09-21 17:40:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
environment to use them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The general syntax is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix environment @var{options} @var{package}@dots{}
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-06-29 20:25:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The following example spawns a new shell set up for the development of
|
|
|
|
|
GNU@tie{}Guile:
|
2014-09-21 17:40:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix environment guile
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
If the needed dependencies are not built yet, @command{guix environment}
|
|
|
|
|
automatically builds them. The environment of the new shell is an augmented
|
2014-09-21 17:40:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
version of the environment that @command{guix environment} was run in.
|
|
|
|
|
It contains the necessary search paths for building the given package
|
|
|
|
|
added to the existing environment variables. To create a ``pure''
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
environment, in which the original environment variables have been unset,
|
2015-07-01 12:01:02 +00:00
|
|
|
|
use the @code{--pure} option@footnote{Users sometimes wrongfully augment
|
|
|
|
|
environment variables such as @code{PATH} in their @file{~/.bashrc}
|
|
|
|
|
file. As a consequence, when @code{guix environment} launches it, Bash
|
|
|
|
|
may read @file{~/.bashrc}, thereby introducing ``impurities'' in these
|
|
|
|
|
environment variables. It is an error to define such environment
|
|
|
|
|
variables in @file{.bashrc}; instead, they should be defined in
|
|
|
|
|
@file{.bash_profile}, which is sourced only by log-in shells.

|
|
|
|
@vindex GUIX_ENVIRONMENT
|
|
|
|
|
@command{guix environment} defines the @code{GUIX_ENVIRONMENT}
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
variable in the shell it spawns. This allows users to, say, define a
|
2015-07-01 12:39:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
specific prompt for development environments in their @file{.bashrc}
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Bash Startup Files,,, bash, The GNU Bash Reference Manual}):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
if [ -n "$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT" ]
|
|
|
|
|
then
|
|
|
|
|
export PS1="\u@@\h \w [dev]\$ "
|
|
|
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-09-21 17:40:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Additionally, more than one package may be specified, in which case the
|
|
|
|
|
union of the inputs for the given packages are used. For example, the
|
|
|
|
|
command below spawns a shell where all of the dependencies of both Guile
|
|
|
|
|
and Emacs are available:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix environment guile emacs
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-10-09 16:11:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Sometimes an interactive shell session is not desired. An arbitrary
|
|
|
|
|
command may be invoked by placing the @code{--} token to separate the
|
|
|
|
|
command from the rest of the arguments:
|
2014-09-21 17:40:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2015-10-09 16:11:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
guix environment guile -- make -j4
|
2014-09-21 17:40:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-06-29 20:25:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
In other situations, it is more convenient to specify the list of
|
|
|
|
|
packages needed in the environment. For example, the following command
|
|
|
|
|
runs @command{python} from an environment containing Python@tie{}2.7 and
|
|
|
|
|
NumPy:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2015-10-09 16:11:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
guix environment --ad-hoc python2-numpy python-2.7 -- python
|
2015-06-29 20:25:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-10-26 02:33:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, one might want the dependencies of a package and also some
|
|
|
|
|
additional packages that are not build-time or runtime dependencies, but
|
|
|
|
|
are useful when developing nonetheless. Because of this, the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{--ad-hoc} flag is positional. Packages appearing before
|
|
|
|
|
@code{--ad-hoc} are interpreted as packages whose dependencies will be
|
|
|
|
|
added to the environment. Packages appearing after are interpreted as
|
|
|
|
|
packages that will be added to the environment directly. For example,
|
|
|
|
|
the following command creates a Guix development environment that
|
|
|
|
|
additionally includes Git and strace:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix environment guix --ad-hoc git strace
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-06-19 12:57:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Sometimes it is desirable to isolate the environment as much as
|
|
|
|
|
possible, for maximal purity and reproducibility. In particular, when
|
|
|
|
|
using Guix on a host distro that is not GuixSD, it is desirable to
|
|
|
|
|
prevent access to @file{/usr/bin} and other system-wide resources from
|
|
|
|
|
the development environment. For example, the following command spawns
|
|
|
|
|
a Guile REPL in a ``container'' where only the store and the current
|
|
|
|
|
working directory are mounted:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix environment --ad-hoc --container guile -- guile
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-11-01 21:32:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@quotation Note
|
2015-11-03 13:14:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The @code{--container} option requires Linux-libre 3.19 or newer.
|
2015-11-01 21:32:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@end quotation
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-06-29 20:25:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The available options are summarized below.
|
2014-09-21 17:40:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
@item --expression=@var{expr}
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx -e @var{expr}
|
2015-10-31 01:02:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Create an environment for the package or list of packages that
|
|
|
|
|
@var{expr} evaluates to.
|
2014-09-21 17:40:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2015-06-29 20:25:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
For example, running:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix environment -e '(@@ (gnu packages maths) petsc-openmpi)'
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
starts a shell with the environment for this specific variant of the
|
|
|
|
|
PETSc package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-10-31 01:02:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Running:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2015-11-02 18:37:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
guix environment --ad-hoc -e '(@@ (gnu) %base-packages)'
|
2015-10-31 01:02:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
starts a shell with all the GuixSD base packages available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-12 20:39:26 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The above commands only the use default output of the given packages.
|
|
|
|
|
To select other outputs, two element tuples can be specified:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix environment --ad-hoc -e '(list (@ (gnu packages bash) bash) "include")'
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-09-21 17:40:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item --load=@var{file}
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx -l @var{file}
|
2015-10-31 01:02:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Create an environment for the package or list of packages that the code
|
|
|
|
|
within @var{file} evaluates to.
|
2014-09-21 17:40:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2015-06-29 20:25:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
As an example, @var{file} might contain a definition like this
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Defining Packages}):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
@verbatiminclude environment-gdb.scm
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-05-28 12:41:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item --ad-hoc
|
|
|
|
|
Include all specified packages in the resulting environment, as if an
|
|
|
|
|
@i{ad hoc} package were defined with them as inputs. This option is
|
|
|
|
|
useful for quickly creating an environment without having to write a
|
|
|
|
|
package expression to contain the desired inputs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For instance, the command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2015-10-09 16:11:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
guix environment --ad-hoc guile guile-sdl -- guile
|
2015-05-28 12:41:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|

@code{guile} and @code{guile-sdl}, but it is possible to ask for a
|
2015-06-30 21:16:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
specific output---e.g., @code{glib:bin} asks for the @code{bin} output
|
|
|
|
|
of @code{glib} (@pxref{Packages with Multiple Outputs}).

This option may be composed with the default behavior of @command{guix

environment}. Packages appearing before @code{--ad-hoc} are interpreted
|
|
|

|
as packages whose dependencies will be added to the environment, the
|
|

default behavior. Packages appearing after are interpreted as packages
|
|
|
|
|
that will be added to the environment directly.

Run @var{command} within an isolated container. The current working
|
2015-12-06 23:22:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
directory outside the container is mapped inside the
|
2015-06-19 12:57:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
container. Additionally, the spawned process runs as the current user
|
|

device.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --expose=@var{source}[=@var{target}]
|
|
|
|
|
For containers, expose the file system @var{source} from the host system
|
|
|
|
|
as the read-only file system @var{target} within the container. If
|
|
|
|
|
@var{target} is not specified, @var{source} is used as the target mount
|
|
|
|
|
point in the container.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The example below spawns a Guile REPL in a container in which the user's
|
|
|
|
|
home directory is accessible read-only via the @file{/exchange}
|
|
|
|
|
directory:

@item --share=@var{source}[=@var{target}]
|
2015-06-19 12:57:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
For containers, share the file system @var{source} from the host system
|
|
|
|
|
as the writable file system @var{target} within the container. If
|
|
|
|
|
@var{target} is not specified, @var{source} is used as the target mount
|
|
|
|
|
point in the container.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The example below spawns a Guile REPL in a container in which the user's
|
|
|
|
|
home directory is accessible for both reading and writing via the

|
|
|

@section Invoking @command{guix publish}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The purpose of @command{guix publish} is to enable users to easily share
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
their store with others, who can then use it as a substitute server
|
2015-05-12 08:57:34 +00:00
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Substitutes}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When @command{guix publish} runs, it spawns an HTTP server which allows
|
|
|
|
|
anyone with network access to obtain substitutes from it. This means
|
|
|
|
|
that any machine running Guix can also act as if it were a build farm,
|
|
|
|
|
since the HTTP interface is compatible with Hydra, the software behind
|
|
|
|
|
the @code{hydra.gnu.org} build farm.
|
2015-03-17 14:21:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For security, each substitute is signed, allowing recipients to check
|
|
|
|
|
their authenticity and integrity (@pxref{Substitutes}). Because
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@command{guix publish} uses the signing key of the system, which is only
|
2015-05-12 09:41:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
readable by the system administrator, it must be started as root; the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{--user} option makes it drop root privileges early on.
|
2015-03-17 14:21:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2015-11-03 21:37:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The signing key pair must be generated before @command{guix publish} is
|
|
|
|
|
launched, using @command{guix archive --generate-key} (@pxref{Invoking
|
|
|
|
|
guix archive}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-03-17 14:21:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The general syntax is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix publish @var{options}@dots{}
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running @command{guix publish} without any additional arguments will
|
|
|
|
|
spawn an HTTP server on port 8080:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix publish
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once a publishing server has been authorized (@pxref{Invoking guix
|
|
|
|
|
archive}), the daemon may download substitutes from it:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix-daemon --substitute-urls=http://example.org:8080
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
@item --port=@var{port}
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Listen for HTTP requests on @var{port}.

|
|
|
|
2015-05-12 19:20:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item --listen=@var{host}
|
|
|
|
|
Listen on the network interface for @var{host}. The default is to
|
|
|
|
|
accept connections from any interface.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-05-12 09:41:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item --user=@var{user}
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx -u @var{user}
|
|
|
|
|
Change privileges to @var{user} as soon as possible---i.e., once the
|
|
|
|
|
server socket is open and the signing key has been read.
|
|
|
|
|

Do the binaries provided by this server really correspond to the source
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
code it claims to build? Is a package build process deterministic?
|
2015-10-19 22:55:09 +00:00
|
|
|
|
These are the questions the @command{guix challenge} command attempts to
|
|
|
|
|
answer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The former is obviously an important question: Before using a substitute
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
server (@pxref{Substitutes}), one had better @emph{verify} that it
|
2015-10-19 22:55:09 +00:00
|
|
|
|
provides the right binaries, and thus @emph{challenge} it. The latter
|
|
|
|
|
is what enables the former: If package builds are deterministic, then
|
|
|
|
|
independent builds of the package should yield the exact same result,
|
|
|
|
|
bit for bit; if a server provides a binary different from the one
|
|
|
|
|
obtained locally, it may be either corrupt or malicious.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We know that the hash that shows up in @file{/gnu/store} file names is
|
|
|
|
|
the hash of all the inputs of the process that built the file or
|
|
|
|
|
directory---compilers, libraries, build scripts,
|
|
|
|
|
etc. (@pxref{Introduction}). Assuming deterministic build processes,
|
|
|
|
|
one store file name should map to exactly one build output.
|
|
|
|
|
@command{guix challenge} checks whether there is, indeed, a single
|
|
|
|
|
mapping by comparing the build outputs of several independent builds of
|
|
|
|
|
any given store item.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00

In this example, @command{guix challenge} first scans the store to
|
|
|
|
|
determine the set of locally-built derivations---as opposed to store
|
|
|
|
|
items that were downloaded from a substitute server---and then queries
|
|
|
|
|
all the substitute servers. It then reports those store items for which

the servers obtained a result different from the local build.

@cindex non-determinism, in package builds
|
|
|
|
|
As an example, @code{guix.example.org} always gets a different answer.
|
|
|
|
|
Conversely, @code{hydra.gnu.org} agrees with local builds, except in the
|
|
|
|
|
case of Git. This might indicate that the build process of Git is
|
|
|
|
|
non-deterministic, meaning that its output varies as a function of
|
|
|
|
|
various things that Guix does not fully control, in spite of building
|
|
|
|
|
packages in isolated environments (@pxref{Features}). Most common
|
|
|
|
|
sources of non-determinism include the addition of timestamps in build
|
|
|
|
|
results, the inclusion of random numbers, and directory listings sorted
|
|
|
|
|
by inode number. See @uref{http://reproducible.debian.net/howto/}, for
|
|

more information.

To find out what is wrong with this Git binary, we can do something along
|
2015-10-19 22:55:09 +00:00
|
|
|
|
these lines (@pxref{Invoking guix archive}):
|
|

This command shows the difference between the files resulting from the
|
|
|
|
|
local build, and the files resulting from the build on
|
|
|
|
|
@code{hydra.gnu.org} (@pxref{Overview, Comparing and Merging Files,,
|
|
|
|
|
diffutils, Comparing and Merging Files}). The @command{diff} command
|
|
|
|
|
works great for text files. When binary files differ, a better option
|
|
|
|
|
is @uref{http://diffoscope.org/, Diffoscope}, a tool that helps
|
|
|
|
|
visualize differences for all kinds of files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Once you have done that work, you can tell whether the differences are due
|
2015-10-19 22:55:09 +00:00
|
|
|
|
to a non-deterministic build process or to a malicious server. We try
|
|
|
|
|
hard to remove sources of non-determinism in packages to make it easier
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
to verify substitutes, but of course, this is a process that
|
|
|
|
|
involves not just Guix, but a large part of the free software community.
|
2015-10-19 22:55:09 +00:00
|
|
|
|
In the meantime, @command{guix challenge} is one tool to help address
|
|
|
|
|
the problem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are writing packages for Guix, you are encouraged to check
|
|
|
|
|
whether @code{hydra.gnu.org} and other substitute servers obtain the
|
|
|
|
|
same build result as you did with:
|
|

|
|
running within an isolated environment, commonly known as a
|
2015-11-02 12:53:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
``container'', typically created by the @command{guix environment}
|
2015-07-02 00:32:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Invoking guix environment}) and @command{guix system container}

guix container @var{action} @var{options}@dots{}
|
|
|

@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@var{action} specifies the operation to perform with a container, and
|
|
|
|
|
@var{options} specifies the context-specific arguments for the action.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

The following actions are available:
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|

@item exec
|
|
|

guix container exec @var{pid} @var{program} @var{arguments}@dots{}
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@var{pid} specifies the process ID of the running container.
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@var{program} specifies an executable file name within the root file
|
|
|
|
|
system of the container. @var{arguments} are the additional options that
|
|
|
|
|
will be passed to @var{program}.
|
2015-07-02 00:32:07 +00:00

The following command launches an interactive login shell inside a
|
|
|
|
|
GuixSD container, started by @command{guix system container}, and whose
|
|
|
|
|
process ID is 9001:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|

2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
must be PID 1 of the container or one of its child processes.

Guix comes with a distribution of the GNU system consisting entirely of
|
|
|
|
|
free software@footnote{The term ``free'' here refers to the
|
2013-01-18 00:27:09 +00:00

|
@url{http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html,freedom provided to
|

|
|
|
users of that software}.}. The
|
2015-01-13 10:06:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
distribution can be installed on its own (@pxref{System Installation}),
|
|
|
|
|
but it is also possible to install Guix as a package manager on top of
|
|
|
|
|
an installed GNU/Linux system (@pxref{Installation}). To distinguish
|
2015-01-23 09:15:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
between the two, we refer to the standalone distribution as the Guix
|
2015-05-12 08:07:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
System Distribution, or GuixSD.
|
2015-01-13 10:06:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The distribution provides core GNU packages such as GNU libc, GCC, and
|
|
|
|
|
Binutils, as well as many GNU and non-GNU applications. The complete
|
|
|
|
|
list of available packages can be browsed

@example
|
Replace individual scripts with master 'guix' script.
* scripts/guix.in: New script.
* Makefile.am (bin_SCRIPTS): Add 'scripts/guix'. Remove 'guix-build',
'guix-download', 'guix-import', 'guix-package', and 'guix-gc'.
(MODULES): Add 'guix/scripts/build.scm', 'guix/scripts/download.scm',
'guix/scripts/import.scm', 'guix/scripts/package.scm', and
'guix/scripts/gc.scm'.
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add 'scripts/guix'. Remove 'guix-build',
'guix-download', 'guix-import', 'guix-package', and 'guix-gc'.
* guix-build.in, guix-download.in, guix-gc.in, guix-import.in,
guix-package.in: Remove shell script boilerplate. Move to guix-COMMAND.in
to guix/scripts/COMMAND.scm. Rename module from (guix-COMMAND) to
(guix scripts COMMAND). Change "guix-COMMAND" to "guix COMMAND" in
usage help string.
* pre-inst-env.in: Add "@abs_top_builddir@/scripts" to the front of $PATH.
Export $GUIX_UNINSTALLED.
* tests/guix-build.sh, tests/guix-daemon.sh, tests/guix-download.sh,
tests/guix-gc.sh, tests/guix-package.sh: Use "guix COMMAND" instead of
"guix-COMMAND".
* doc/guix.texi: Replace all occurrences of "guix-COMMAND" with
"guix COMMAND".
* po/POTFILES.in: Update.

As of version @value{VERSION}, the Guix System Distribution (GuixSD) is
|
2015-01-23 09:15:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
not production-ready. It may contain bugs and lack important
|
2014-07-17 12:36:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
features. Thus, if you are looking for a stable production system that
|
|
|
|
|
respects your freedom as a computer user, a good solution at this point
|
|
|
|
|
is to consider @url{http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html, one of
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
the more established GNU/Linux distributions}. We hope you can soon switch
|
2015-05-12 08:07:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
to the GuixSD without fear, of course. In the meantime, you can
|
2014-07-17 12:36:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
also keep using your distribution and try out the package manager on top
|
|
|
|
|
of it (@pxref{Installation}).
|
|

|

@subsection USB Stick Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An installation image for USB sticks can be downloaded from
|
2015-05-12 08:07:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@indicateurl{ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guixsd-usb-install-@value{VERSION}.@var{system}.xz},
|
2014-07-14 22:43:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
where @var{system} is one of:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
@item x86_64-linux
|
|
|
|
|
for a GNU/Linux system on Intel/AMD-compatible 64-bit CPUs;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item i686-linux
|
|
|
|
|
for a 32-bit GNU/Linux system on Intel-compatible CPUs.
|
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This image contains a single partition with the tools necessary for an
|
|
|
|
|
installation. It is meant to be copied @emph{as is} to a large-enough
|
|
|
|
|
USB stick.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To copy the image to a USB stick, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@enumerate
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
|
Decompress the image using the @command{xz} command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2015-05-12 08:07:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
xz -d guixsd-usb-install-@value{VERSION}.@var{system}.xz
|
2014-07-14 22:43:04 +00:00

Insert a USB stick of 1@tie{}GiB or more into your machine, and determine
|
|
|
|
|
its device name. Assuming that the USB stick is known as @file{/dev/sdX},
|
2014-07-14 22:43:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
copy the image with:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2015-05-12 08:07:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
dd if=guixsd-usb-install-@value{VERSION}.x86_64 of=/dev/sdX
|
2014-07-14 22:43:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Access to @file{/dev/sdX} usually requires root privileges.
|
|
|
|
|
@end enumerate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once this is done, you should be able to reboot the system and boot from
|
|
|
|
|
the USB stick. The latter usually requires you to get in the BIOS' boot
|
|
|
|
|
menu, where you can choose to boot from the USB stick.

@subsection Preparing for Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have successfully booted the image on the USB stick, you should
|
|
|
|
|
end up with a root prompt. Several console TTYs are configured and can
|
|
|
|
|
be used to run commands as root. TTY2 shows this documentation,
|
|
|
|
|
browsable using the Info reader commands (@pxref{Help,,, info, Info: An
|
2015-11-07 17:48:21 +00:00

|
Introduction}). The installation system runs the GPM mouse daemon,
|
|
|
|
|
which allows you to select text with the left mouse button and to paste
|
|
|
|
|
it with the middle button.

@subsubsection Keyboard Layout

2014-07-14 22:43:04 +00:00
|
|

|
2016-02-10 20:26:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@cindex keyboard layout
|
|
|
|
|
The installation image uses the US qwerty keyboard layout. If you want
|
|
|
|
|
to change it, you can use the @command{loadkeys} command. For example,
|
|
|
|
|
the following command selects the Dvorak keyboard layout:
|
2014-07-14 22:43:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-10 20:26:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
loadkeys dvorak
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See the files under @file{/run/current-system/profile/share/keymaps} for
|
|
|
|
|
a list of available keyboard layouts. Run @command{man loadkeys} for
|
|
|
|
|
more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@subsubsection Networking
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run the following command see what your network interfaces are called:
|
2015-11-06 22:42:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2016-02-10 20:26:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
ifconfig -a
|
2015-11-06 22:42:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-02-06 16:32:17 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@c http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/src/udev/udev-builtin-net_id.c#n20
|
2016-02-10 20:26:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Wired interfaces have a name starting with @samp{e}; for example, the
|
|
|
|
|
interface corresponding to the first on-board Ethernet controller is
|
|
|
|
|
called @samp{eno1}. Wireless interfaces have a name starting with
|
|
|
|
|
@samp{w}, like @samp{w1p2s0}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @asis
|
|
|
|
|
@item Wired connection
|
|
|
|
|
To configure a wired network run the following command, substituting
|
|
|
|
|
@var{interface} with the name of the wired interface you want to use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
ifconfig @var{interface} up
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item Wireless connection
|
|
|
|
|
To configure wireless networking, you can create a configuration file
|
|
|
|
|
for the @command{wpa_supplicant} configuration tool (its location is not
|
|
|
|
|
important) using one of the available text editors such as
|
|
|
|
|
@command{zile}:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
zile wpa_supplicant.conf
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As an example, the following stanza can go to this file and will work
|
|
|
|
|
for many wireless networks, provided you give the actual SSID and
|
|
|
|
|
passphrase for the network you are connecting to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
network=@{
|
|
|
|
|
ssid=@var{my-ssid}
|
|
|
|
|
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
|
|
|
|
|
psk="the network's secret passphrase"
|
|
|
|
|
@}
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start the wireless service and run it in the background with the
|
|
|
|
|
following command (substitute @var{interface} with the name of the
|
|
|
|
|
network interface you want to use):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
wpa_supplicant -c wpa_supplicant.conf -i @var{interface} -B
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run @command{man wpa_supplication} for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At this point, you need to acquire an IP address. On a network where IP
|
|
|
|
|
addresses are automatically assigned @i{via} DHCP, you can run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
dhclient @var{interface}
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
2014-07-14 22:43:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-10 20:26:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Try to ping a server to see if networking is up and running:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
ping -c 3 gnu.org
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
2014-07-14 22:43:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setting up network access is almost always a requirement because the
|
|
|
|
|
image does not contain all the software and tools that may be needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-10 20:26:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@subsubsection Disk Partitioning
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unless this has already been done, the next step is to partition, and
|
|
|
|
|
then format the target partition(s).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The installation image includes several partitioning tools, including
|
|
|
|
|
Parted (@pxref{Overview,,, parted, GNU Parted User Manual}),
|
|
|
|
|
@command{fdisk}, and @command{cfdisk}. Run it and set up your disk with
|
|
|
|
|
the partition layout you want:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
cfdisk
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you are done partitioning the target hard disk drive, you have to
|
|
|
|
|
create a file system on the relevant partition(s)@footnote{Currently
|
|
|
|
|
GuixSD pretty much assumes an ext4 file system. In particular, code
|
|
|
|
|
that reads partition UUIDs and labels only works with ext4. This will
|
|
|
|
|
be fixed in the future.}.
|
2014-07-14 22:43:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-24 17:47:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Preferably, assign partitions a label so that you can easily and
|
|
|
|
|
reliably refer to them in @code{file-system} declarations (@pxref{File
|
|
|
|
|
Systems}). This is typically done using the @code{-L} option of
|
2016-02-10 20:26:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@command{mkfs.ext4} and related commands. So, assuming the target root
|
|
|
|
|
partition lives at @file{/dev/sda1}, a file system with the label
|
|
|
|
|
@code{my-root} can be created with:
|
2014-07-24 17:47:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-10 20:26:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
mkfs.ext4 -L my-root /dev/sda1
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
2015-12-20 02:38:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2015-11-04 09:27:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@c FIXME: Uncomment this once GRUB fully supports encrypted roots.
|
|
|
|
|
@c A typical command sequence may be:
|
|
|
|
|
@c
|
|
|
|
|
@c @example
|
|
|
|
|
@c # fdisk /dev/sdX
|
|
|
|
|
@c @dots{} Create partitions etc.@dots{}
|
|
|
|
|
@c # cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdX1
|
|
|
|
|
@c # cryptsetup open --type luks /dev/sdX1 my-partition
|
|
|
|
|
@c # mkfs.ext4 -L my-root /dev/mapper/my-partition
|
|
|
|
|
@c @end example
|
2015-11-01 21:14:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-10 20:26:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
In addition to e2fsprogs, the suite of tools to manipulate
|
|
|
|
|
ext2/ext3/ext4 file systems, the installation image includes
|
|
|
|
|
Cryptsetup/LUKS for disk encryption.
|
2014-07-14 22:43:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-10 20:26:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Once that is done, mount the target root partition under @file{/mnt}
|
|
|
|
|
with a command like (again, assuming @file{/dev/sda1} is the root
|
|
|
|
|
partition):
|
2014-07-22 20:12:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-10 20:26:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
2014-07-22 20:12:05 +00:00

2016-02-10 20:26:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
With the target partitions ready and the target root mounted on
|
|
|
|
|
@file{/mnt}, we're ready to go. First, run:
|
2014-07-14 22:43:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-10 20:26:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
herd start cow-store /mnt
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
2014-07-14 22:43:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-10 20:26:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This makes @file{/gnu/store} copy-on-write, such that packages added to
|
|
|
|
|
it during the installation phase are written to the target disk rather
|
|
|
|
|
than kept in memory.
|
2014-07-14 22:43:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-10 20:26:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Next, you have to edit a file and
|
2014-07-14 22:43:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
provide the declaration of the operating system to be installed. To
|
|
|
|
|
that end, the installation system comes with two text editors: GNU nano
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Top,,, nano, GNU nano Manual}), and GNU Zile, an Emacs clone.
|
|
|
|
|
It is better to store that file on the target root file system, say, as
|
|
|
|
|
@file{/mnt/etc/config.scm}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-10 20:26:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@xref{Using the Configuration System}, for an overview of the
|
|
|
|
|
configuration file. The example configurations discussed in that
|
|
|
|
|
section are available under @file{/etc/configuration} in the
|
|
|
|
|
installation image. Thus, to get started with a system configuration
|
|
|
|
|
providing a graphical display server (a ``desktop'' system), you can run
|
|
|
|
|
something along these lines:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
# mkdir /mnt/etc
|
|
|
|
|
# cp /etc/configuration/desktop.scm /mnt/etc/config.scm
|
|
|
|
|
# zile /mnt/etc/config.scm
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You should pay attention to what your configuration file contains, and
|
|
|
|
|
in particular:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@itemize
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure the @code{grub-configuration} form refers to the device you
|
|
|
|
|
want to install GRUB on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
|
Be sure that your partition labels match the value of their respective
|
|
|
|
|
@code{device} fields in your @code{file-system} configuration, assuming
|
|
|
|
|
your @code{file-system} configuration sets the value of @code{title} to
|
|
|
|
|
@code{'label}.
|
|
|
|
|
@end itemize
|
2014-07-14 22:43:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2015-05-09 21:51:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Once you are done preparing the configuration file, the new system must
|
|
|
|
|
be initialized (remember that the target root file system is mounted
|
|
|
|
|
under @file{/mnt}):
|
2014-07-14 22:43:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
2016-02-10 20:26:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This copies all the necessary files and installs GRUB on
|
2014-07-14 22:43:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@file{/dev/sdX}, unless you pass the @option{--no-grub} option. For
|
2014-07-25 20:05:17 +00:00
|
|
|
|
more information, @pxref{Invoking guix system}. This command may trigger
|
2014-07-14 22:43:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
downloads or builds of missing packages, which can take some time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-07-22 16:28:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Once that command has completed---and hopefully succeeded!---you can run
|
|
|

|
The Guix System Distribution supports a consistent whole-system configuration
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
mechanism. By that we mean that all aspects of the global system
|
|
|
|
|
configuration---such as the available system services, timezone and
|
|
|
|
|
locale settings, user accounts---are declared in a single place. Such
|
|
|
|
|
a @dfn{system configuration} can be @dfn{instantiated}---i.e., effected.
|
2013-07-08 22:24:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
One of the advantages of putting all the system configuration under the
|
|
|
|
|
control of Guix is that it supports transactional system upgrades, and
|
|
|
|
|
makes it possible to roll-back to a previous system instantiation,
|
|
|
|
|
should something go wrong with the new one (@pxref{Features}). Another
|
|
|
|
|
one is that it makes it easy to replicate the exact same configuration
|
|
|
|
|
across different machines, or at different points in time, without
|
|
|
|
|
having to resort to additional administration tools layered on top of
|
|
|
|
|
the system's own tools.

The operating system is configured by providing an

|
|
|
|
@code{operating-system} declaration in a file that can then be passed to
|
|
|
|
|
the @command{guix system} command (@pxref{Invoking guix system}). A
|
|
|
|
|
simple setup, with the default system services, the default Linux-Libre
|
|
|
|
|
kernel, initial RAM disk, and boot loader looks like this:

This example should be self-describing. Some of the fields defined
|
|
|
|
|
above, such as @code{host-name} and @code{bootloader}, are mandatory.

Others, such as @code{packages} and @code{services}, can be omitted, in

which case they get a default value.

Below we discuss the effect of some of the most important fields

(@pxref{operating-system Reference}, for details about all the available

The @code{packages} field lists packages that will be globally visible
|
|
|
|
|
on the system, for all user accounts---i.e., in every user's @code{PATH}
|
|
|
|
|
environment variable---in addition to the per-user profiles
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Invoking guix package}). The @var{%base-packages} variable
|
|
|
|
|
provides all the tools one would expect for basic user and administrator
|
|
|
|
|
tasks---including the GNU Core Utilities, the GNU Networking Utilities,
|
|
|
|
|
the GNU Zile lightweight text editor, @command{find}, @command{grep},
|
|
|
|
|
etc. The example above adds tcpdump to those, taken from the @code{(gnu
|
|
|
|
|
packages admin)} module (@pxref{Package Modules}).

@findex specification->package
|
|
|
|
|
Referring to packages by variable name, like @var{tcpdump} above, has
|
|
|
|
|
the advantage of being unambiguous; it also allows typos and such to be
|
|
|
|
|
diagnosed right away as ``unbound variables''. The downside is that one
|
|
|
|
|
needs to know which module defines which package, and to augment the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{use-package-modules} line accordingly. To avoid that, one can use
|
|
|
|
|
the @code{specification->package} procedure of the @code{(gnu packages)}
|
|
|
|
|
module, which returns the best package for a given name or name and

@vindex %base-services
|
|
|
|

The @code{services} field lists @dfn{system services} to be made
|
|
|
|
|
available when the system starts (@pxref{Services}).
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{operating-system} declaration above specifies that, in
|
|
|
|
|
addition to the basic services, we want the @command{lshd} secure shell
|
2015-10-28 20:36:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
daemon listening on port 2222 (@pxref{Networking Services,
|
|

@code{lsh-service}}). Under the hood,
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{lsh-service} arranges so that @code{lshd} is started with the
|
|
|
|
|
right command-line options, possibly with supporting configuration files
|
2015-10-28 20:36:07 +00:00

generated as needed (@pxref{Defining Services}).

Occasionally, instead of using the base services as is, you will want to
|
|
|
|
|
customize them. For instance, to change the configuration of
|
|
|
|
|
@code{guix-daemon} and Mingetty (the console log-in), you may write the
|
|
|
|
|
following instead of @var{%base-services}:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@lisp
|
|
|
|
|
(modify-services %base-services
|

@end lisp

@noindent
|
|

The effect here is to change the options passed to @command{guix-daemon}
|
|
|
|
|
when it is started, as well as the ``message of the day'' that appears
|
|

|
|
when logging in at the console. @xref{Service Reference,

The configuration for a typical ``desktop'' usage, with the X11 display

|
server, a desktop environment, network management, power management, and
|
2015-05-09 21:51:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
more, would look like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

@lisp

@include os-config-desktop.texi

2016-01-20 23:12:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Again, @var{%desktop-services} is just a list of service objects. If
|
|
|
|
|
you want to remove services from there, you can do so using the
|
|
|
|
|
procedures for list filtering (@pxref{SRFI-1 Filtering and
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
following expression returns a list that contains all the services in
|
|
|
|
|
@var{%desktop-services} minus the Avahi service:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(remove (lambda (service)

|
Assuming the @code{operating-system} declaration
|
|
|
|
|
is stored in the @file{my-system-config.scm}
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
file, the @command{guix system reconfigure my-system-config.scm} command
|
|
|
|
|
instantiates that configuration, and makes it the default GRUB boot
|
2015-10-26 20:24:26 +00:00
|
|
|
|
entry (@pxref{Invoking guix system}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The normal way to change the system's configuration is by updating this
|
|
|
|
|
file and re-running @command{guix system reconfigure}. One should never
|
|
|
|
|
have to touch files in @command{/etc} or to run commands that modify the
|
|
|
|
|
system state such as @command{useradd} or @command{grub-install}. In
|
|
|
|
|
fact, you must avoid that since that would not only void your warranty
|
|
|
|
|
but also prevent you from rolling back to previous versions of your
|
|
|
|
|
system, should you ever need to.

@cindex roll-back, of the operating system
|
|
|
|
|
Speaking of roll-back, each time you run @command{guix system
|
|
|
|
|
reconfigure}, a new @dfn{generation} of the system is created---without
|
|
|
|
|
modifying or deleting previous generations. Old system generations get
|
|
|
|
|
an entry in the GRUB boot menu, allowing you to boot them in case
|
|
|
|
|
something went wrong with the latest generation. Reassuring, no? The
|
|
|
|
|
@command{guix system list-generations} command lists the system
|
|
|
|
|
generations available on disk.

|
|
|
|
@code{file-systems} field of the operating system's declaration
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Using the Configuration System}). Each file system is declared
|
|
|
|
|
using the @code{file-system} form, like this:
|
2013-07-17 09:59:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|

@deftp {Data Type} file-system
|
|
|
|
|
Objects of this type represent file systems to be mounted. They
|
|
|
|
|
contain the following members:
|
2014-03-09 16:10:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@table @asis
|
|
|
|
|
@item @code{type}
|
|
|
|
|
This is a string specifying the type of the file system---e.g.,
|
|
|
|
|
@code{"ext4"}.
|
2014-03-09 16:10:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item @code{mount-point}
|
|
|
|
|
This designates the place where the file system is to be mounted.
|
2013-07-17 09:59:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item @code{device}
|
|
|
|
|
This names the ``source'' of the file system. By default it is the name
|
|
|
|
|
of a node under @file{/dev}, but its meaning depends on the @code{title}
|
|
|
|
|
field described below.
|
2013-07-06 22:29:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item @code{title} (default: @code{'device})
|
|
|
|
|
This is a symbol that specifies how the @code{device} field is to be
|
|
|
|
|
interpreted.
|
2013-07-06 22:29:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
When it is the symbol @code{device}, then the @code{device} field is
|
|
|
|
|
interpreted as a file name; when it is @code{label}, then @code{device}
|
|
|
|
|
is interpreted as a partition label name; when it is @code{uuid},
|
|
|
|
|
@code{device} is interpreted as a partition unique identifier (UUID).
|
2013-08-28 20:04:52 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2015-07-14 13:06:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
UUIDs may be converted from their string representation (as shown by the
|
|
|
|
|
@command{tune2fs -l} command) using the @code{uuid} form, like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(file-system
|
|
|
|
|
(mount-point "/home")
|
|
|
|
|
(type "ext4")
|
|
|
|
|
(title 'uuid)
|
|
|
|
|
(device (uuid "4dab5feb-d176-45de-b287-9b0a6e4c01cb")))
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The @code{label} and @code{uuid} options offer a way to refer to disk
|
2015-07-14 13:06:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
partitions without having to hard-code their actual device
|
|
|
|
|
name@footnote{Note that, while it is tempting to use
|
|
|
|
|
@file{/dev/disk/by-uuid} and similar device names to achieve the same
|
|
|
|
|
result, this is not recommended: These special device nodes are created
|
|
|
|
|
by the udev daemon and may be unavailable at the time the device is
|
|
|
|
|
mounted.}.

|
|
2014-11-30 17:29:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
However, when a file system's source is a mapped device (@pxref{Mapped
|
|
|
|
|
Devices}), its @code{device} field @emph{must} refer to the mapped
|
|
|
|
|
device name---e.g., @file{/dev/mapper/root-partition}---and consequently
|
|
|
|
|
@code{title} must be set to @code{'device}. This is required so that
|
|
|
|
|
the system knows that mounting the file system depends on having the
|
|
|
|
|
corresponding device mapping established.

2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00

@item @code{flags} (default: @code{'()})
|
|
|
|
|
This is a list of symbols denoting mount flags. Recognized flags
|
2014-07-22 22:44:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
include @code{read-only}, @code{bind-mount}, @code{no-dev} (disallow
|
|
|
|
|
access to special files), @code{no-suid} (ignore setuid and setgid
|

|
|
2015-12-21 23:25:40 +00:00
|
|

@item @code{mount?} (default: @code{#t})
|
|
|
|
|
This value indicates whether to automatically mount the file system when
|
|
|
|
|
the system is brought up. When set to @code{#f}, the file system gets
|
|
|
|
|
an entry in @file{/etc/fstab} (read by the @command{mount} command) but
|
|
|
|
|
is not automatically mounted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item @code{needed-for-boot?} (default: @code{#f})
|
|
|
|
|
This Boolean value indicates whether the file system is needed when
|
|
|
|
|
booting. If that is true, then the file system is mounted when the
|
|
|
|
|
initial RAM disk (initrd) is loaded. This is always the case, for
|
|
|
|
|
instance, for the root file system.
|

|
|

|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item @code{check?} (default: @code{#t})
|
|
|
|
|
This Boolean indicates whether the file system needs to be checked for
|
|
|
|
|
errors before being mounted.
|
2013-11-07 21:41:21 +00:00
|
|

|
2014-07-22 20:53:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item @code{create-mount-point?} (default: @code{#f})
|
|
|
|
|
When true, the mount point is created if it does not exist yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-07-17 17:24:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item @code{dependencies} (default: @code{'()})
|
|
|
|
|
This is a list of @code{<file-system>} objects representing file systems
|
|
|
|
|
that must be mounted before (and unmounted after) this one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As an example, consider a hierarchy of mounts: @file{/sys/fs/cgroup} is
|
|
|
|
|
a dependency of @file{/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu} and
|
|
|
|
|
@file{/sys/fs/cgroup/memory}.

variables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
@defvr {Scheme Variable} %base-file-systems

2015-09-20 19:44:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
such as @var{%pseudo-terminal-file-system} and @var{%immutable-store} (see
|
2015-04-20 20:21:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
below.) Operating system declarations should always contain at least
|
|
|
|
|
these.

@defvr {Scheme Variable} %pseudo-terminal-file-system
|
|
|
|
|
This is the file system to be mounted as @file{/dev/pts}. It supports
|
|
|
|
|
@dfn{pseudo-terminals} created @i{via} @code{openpty} and similar
|
|
|
|
|
functions (@pxref{Pseudo-Terminals,,, libc, The GNU C Library Reference

@defvr {Scheme Variable} %immutable-store
|
|
|
|
|
This file system performs a read-only ``bind mount'' of
|
|
|
|
|
@file{/gnu/store}, making it read-only for all the users including
|
|
|
|
|
@code{root}. This prevents against accidental modification by software
|
|
|
|
|
running as @code{root} or by system administrators.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The daemon itself is still able to write to the store: it remounts it
|
|
|
|
|
read-write in its own ``name space.''

@cindex mapped devices
|
|
|
|
|
The Linux kernel has a notion of @dfn{device mapping}: a block device,
|
|
|
|
|
such as a hard disk partition, can be @dfn{mapped} into another device,
|
|
|
|
|
with additional processing over the data that flows through
|
|
|
|
|
it@footnote{Note that the GNU@tie{}Hurd makes no difference between the
|
|
|
|
|
concept of a ``mapped device'' and that of a file system: both boil down
|
|
|
|
|
to @emph{translating} input/output operations made on a file to
|
|
|
|
|
operations on its backing store. Thus, the Hurd implements mapped
|
|
|
|
|
devices, like file systems, using the generic @dfn{translator} mechanism
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Translators,,, hurd, The GNU Hurd Reference Manual}).}. A
|
|
|
|
|
typical example is encryption device mapping: all writes to the mapped
|
|
|
|
|
device are encrypted, and all reads are deciphered, transparently.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mapped devices are declared using the @code{mapped-device} form:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(mapped-device
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
@cindex disk encryption
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex LUKS
|
|
|
|
|
This example specifies a mapping from @file{/dev/sda3} to
|
|
|
|
|
@file{/dev/mapper/home} using LUKS---the
|
|
|
|
|
@url{http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup,Linux Unified Key Setup}, a
|
|
|
|
|
standard mechanism for disk encryption. The @file{/dev/mapper/home}
|
|
|
|
|
device can then be used as the @code{device} of a @code{file-system}
|
|
|
|
|
declaration (@pxref{File Systems}). The @code{mapped-device} form is

|
|

the @code{"/dev/mapper/my-partition"} device.

the system ensures that only the user accounts and groups specified in

the @code{operating-system} declaration exist, and with the specified

|
|
|
|
properties. Thus, account or group creations or modifications made by

directly invoking commands such as @command{useradd} are lost upon

|
|
This Boolean value indicates whether the account is a ``system''

You would normally leave this field to @code{#f}, initialize user

2015-04-08 19:23:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
users change it with @command{passwd}. Passwords set with
|
|

@command{passwd} are of course preserved across reboot and

|
reconfiguration.
|
2014-11-14 13:17:56 +00:00
|
|
|
|

If you @emph{do} want to have a preset password for an account, then

this field must contain the encrypted password, as a string.

@code{@var{language}_@var{territory}.@var{codeset}}---e.g.,
|
2014-11-26 21:49:11 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{fr_LU.utf8} designates the locale for the French language, with
|
|
|
|
|
cultural conventions from Luxembourg, and using the UTF-8 encoding.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex locale definition
|
|
|
|
|
Usually, you will want to specify the default locale for the machine
|
|
|
|
|
using the @code{locale} field of the @code{operating-system} declaration
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{operating-system Reference, @code{locale}}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-10 10:01:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The selected locale is automatically added to the @dfn{locale
|
|
|
|
|
definitions} known to the system if needed, with its codeset inferred
|
|
|
|
|
from its name---e.g., @code{bo_CN.utf8} will be assumed to use the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{UTF-8} codeset. Additional locale definitions can be specified in
|
|
|
|
|
the @code{locale-definitions} slot of @code{operating-system}---this is
|
|
|
|
|
useful, for instance, if the codeset could not be inferred from the
|
|
|
|
|
locale name. The default set of locale definitions includes some widely
|
|
|
|
|
used locales, but not all the available locales, in order to save space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For instance, to add the North Frisian locale for Germany, the value of
|
|
|
|
|
that field may be:
|
2014-11-26 21:49:11 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(cons (locale-definition
|
|
|
|
|
(name "fy_DE.utf8") (source "fy_DE"))
|
|
|
|
|
%default-locale-definitions)
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Likewise, to save space, one might want @code{locale-definitions} to
|
|
|
|
|
list only the locales that are actually used, as in:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(list (locale-definition
|
|
|
|
|
(name "ja_JP.eucjp") (source "ja_JP")
|
|
|
|
|
(charset "EUC-JP")))
|

|
2015-09-30 15:06:40 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@file{/run/current-system/locale/X.Y}, where @code{X.Y} is the libc
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
|
by Guix looks for locale data. This can be overridden using the
|
|
|

|
@code{LOCPATH} environment variable (@pxref{locales-and-locpath,

@subsubsection Locale Data Compatibility Considerations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex incompatibility, of locale data
|
|
|
|
|
@code{operating-system} declarations provide a @code{locale-libcs} field
|
|
|
|
|
to specify the GNU@tie{}libc packages that are used to compile locale
|
|
|
|
|
declarations (@pxref{operating-system Reference}). ``Why would I
|
|
|
|
|
care?'', you may ask. Well, it turns out that the binary format of
|
|
|
|
|
locale data is occasionally incompatible from one libc version to
|
|
|
|
|
another.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@c See <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-09/msg00575.html>
|
|
|
|
|
@c and <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-08/msg00737.html>.
|
|
|
|
|
For instance, a program linked against libc version 2.21 is unable to
|
|
|
|
|
read locale data produced with libc 2.22; worse, that program
|
|
|
|
|
@emph{aborts} instead of simply ignoring the incompatible locale
|
|
|
|
|
data@footnote{Versions 2.23 and later of GNU@tie{}libc will simply skip
|
|
|
|
|
the incompatible locale data, which is already an improvement.}.
|
|
|
|
|
Similarly, a program linked against libc 2.22 can read most, but not
|
|
|
|
|
all, the locale data from libc 2.21 (specifically, @code{LC_COLLATE}
|
|
|
|
|
data is incompatible); thus calls to @code{setlocale} may fail, but
|
|
|
|
|
programs will not abort.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``problem'' in GuixSD is that users have a lot of freedom: They can
|
|
|
|
|
choose whether and when to upgrade software in their profiles, and might
|
|
|
|
|
be using a libc version different from the one the system administrator
|
|
|
|
|
used to build the system-wide locale data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fortunately, unprivileged users can also install their own locale data
|
|
|
|
|
and define @var{GUIX_LOCPATH} accordingly (@pxref{locales-and-locpath,
|
|
|
|
|
@code{GUIX_LOCPATH} and locale packages}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Still, it is best if the system-wide locale data at
|
|
|
|
|
@file{/run/current-system/locale} is built for all the libc versions
|
|
|
|
|
actually in use on the system, so that all the programs can access
|
|
|
|
|
it---this is especially crucial on a multi-user system. To do that, the
|
|
|
|
|
administrator can specify several libc packages in the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{locale-libcs} field of @code{operating-system}:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(use-package-modules base)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(operating-system
|
|
|
|
|
;; @dots{}
|
|
|
|
|
(locale-libcs (list glibc-2.21 (canonical-package glibc))))
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This example would lead to a system containing locale definitions for
|
|
|
|
|
both libc 2.21 and the current version of libc in
|
|
|
|
|
@file{/run/current-system/locale}.

@cindex system services
|
|
|
|
|
An important part of preparing an @code{operating-system} declaration is
|
|
|
|
|
listing @dfn{system services} and their configuration (@pxref{Using the
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration System}). System services are typically daemons launched
|
|
|
|
|
when the system boots, or other actions needed at that time---e.g.,
|
2014-12-07 21:55:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
configuring network access.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-01-27 13:33:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Services are managed by the GNU@tie{}Shepherd (@pxref{Introduction,,,
|
|
|
|
|
shepherd, The GNU Shepherd Manual}). On a running system, the
|
|
|
|
|
@command{herd} command allows you to list the available services, show
|
|
|
|
|
their status, start and stop them, or do other specific operations
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Jump Start,,, shepherd, The GNU Shepherd Manual}). For example:
|
2014-12-07 21:55:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|

The above command, run as @code{root}, lists the currently defined
|
2016-01-27 13:33:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
services. The @command{herd doc} command shows a synopsis of the given
|
2014-12-07 21:55:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
service:

The @command{start}, @command{stop}, and @command{restart} sub-commands

have the effect you would expect. For instance, the commands below stop
|
|

@item @code{database}
|
|
|
|
|
This is a symbol representing the name of the database to be cached.
|
|
|
|
|
Valid values are @code{passwd}, @code{group}, @code{hosts}, and
|
|
|
|
|
@code{services}, which designate the corresponding NSS database

Whether to check for updates of the files corresponding to
|
|
|
|
|
@var{database}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For instance, when @var{database} is @code{hosts}, setting this flag
|
|
|
|
|
instructs nscd to check for updates in @file{/etc/hosts} and to take
|
|
|
|
|
them into account.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item @code{persistent?} (default: @code{#t})
|
|
|
|
|
Whether the cache should be stored persistently on disk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item @code{shared?} (default: @code{#t})
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item @code{max-database-size} (default: 32@tie{}MiB)
|
|
|
|
|
Maximum size in bytes of the database cache.
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
List of @code{<nscd-cache>} objects used by default by
|
|
|
|
|
@code{nscd-configuration} (see above.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It enables persistent and aggressive caching of service and host name
|
|
|
|
|
lookups. The latter provides better host name lookup performance,
|
|
|
|
|
resilience in the face of unreliable name servers, and also better
|
|
|
|
|
privacy---often the result of host name lookups is in local cache, so
|
|
|
|
|
external name servers do not even need to be queried.

Define a new Tor @dfn{hidden service} called @var{name} and implementing

|
|
|
|
@var{mapping}. @var{mapping} is a list of port/host tuples, such as:
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
In this example, port 22 of the hidden service is mapped to local port 22, and
|
|
|
|
|
port 80 is mapped to local port 8080.
|

This creates a @file{/var/lib/tor/hidden-services/@var{name}} directory, where
|
|
|
|
|
the @file{hostname} file contains the @code{.onion} host name for the hidden

When @var{daemonic?} is true, @command{lshd} will detach from the

@var{syslog-output?} to false. Obviously, it also makes lsh-service
|
|
|
|
|
depend on existence of syslogd service. When @var{pid-file?} is true,
|
|
|
|
|
@command{lshd} writes its PID to the file called @var{pid-file}.

When @var{initialize?} is true, automatically create the seed and host key

require interaction.

When @var{initialize?} is false, it is up to the user to initialize the

|
|
|

randomness generator (@pxref{lsh-make-seed,,, lsh, LSH Manual}), and to create
|

If @var{host-name} is different from @code{#f}, use that as the host name to

publish for this machine; otherwise, use the machine's actual host name.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When @var{publish?} is true, publishing of host names and services is allowed;
|
|

in particular, avahi-daemon will publish the machine's host name and IP

address via mDNS on the local network.

When @var{wide-area?} is true, DNS-SD over unicast DNS is enabled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Boolean values @var{ipv4?} and @var{ipv6?} determine whether to use IPv4/IPv6

@var{xfce}, @var{sawfish}, and @var{ratpoison} provide @file{.desktop} files;

@var{drivers} must be either the empty list, in which case Xorg chooses a

|
graphics driver automatically, or a list of driver names that will be tried in
|
2015-05-21 16:02:01 +00:00

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Likewise, when @var{resolutions} is the empty list, Xorg chooses an
|
|
|
|

@subsubsection Desktop Services

|
|
|
|
The @code{(gnu services desktop)} module provides services that are
|
|
|
|
|
usually useful in the context of a ``desktop'' setup---that is, on a
|
|
|
|
|
machine running a graphical display server, possibly with graphical user
|
|
|
|
|
interfaces, etc.
|
2015-03-22 13:33:17 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2015-05-08 13:58:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
To simplify things, the module defines a variable containing the set of
|
|
|
|
|
services that users typically expect on a machine with a graphical
|
|
|
|
|
environment and networking:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@defvr {Scheme Variable} %desktop-services
|
|
|
|
|
This is a list of services that builds upon @var{%base-services} and
|
|
|
|
|
adds or adjust services for a typical ``desktop'' setup.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In particular, it adds a graphical login manager (@pxref{X Window,
|
2015-10-29 18:00:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{slim-service}}), screen lockers,
|
|
|
|
|
a network management tool (@pxref{Networking
|
2015-05-08 13:58:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Services, @code{wicd-service}}), energy and color management services,
|
2015-09-02 20:53:09 +00:00
|
|
|
|
the @code{elogind} login and seat manager, the Polkit privilege service,
|
2015-08-15 19:36:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
the GeoClue location service, an NTP client (@pxref{Networking
|
|
|
|
|
Services}), the Avahi daemon, and has the name service switch service
|
|
|
|
|
configured to be able to use @code{nss-mdns} (@pxref{Name Service
|
|
|
|
|
Switch, mDNS}).
|
2015-05-08 13:58:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@end defvr
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @var{%desktop-services} variable can be used as the @code{services}
|
|
|
|
|
field of an @code{operating-system} declaration (@pxref{operating-system
|
|
|
|

@deffn {Scheme Procedure} elogind-service [#:config @var{config}]
|
2015-09-02 20:53:09 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Return a service that runs the @code{elogind} login and
|
|
|
|
|
seat management daemon. @uref{https://github.com/andywingo/elogind,
|
|
|
|
|
Elogind} exposes a D-Bus interface that can be used to know which users
|
|
|
|
|
are logged in, know what kind of sessions they have open, suspend the
|
|
|
|
|
system, inhibit system suspend, reboot the system, and other tasks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Elogind handles most system-level power events for a computer, for
|
|
|
|
|
example suspending the system when a lid is closed, or shutting it down
|
|
|
|
|
when the power button is pressed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @var{config} keyword argument specifies the configuration for
|
|
|
|
|
elogind, and should be the result of a @code{(elogind-configuration
|
|
|
|
|
(@var{parameter} @var{value})...)} invocation. Available parameters and

@node Mail Services
|
|
|
|
|
@subsubsection Mail Services
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{(gnu services mail)} module provides Guix service definitions
|
|
|
|
|
for mail services. Currently the only implemented service is Dovecot,
|
|
|
|
|
an IMAP, POP3, and LMTP server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Guix does not yet have a mail transfer agent (MTA), although for some
|
|
|
|
|
lightweight purposes the @code{esmtp} relay-only MTA may suffice. Help
|
|
|
|
|
is needed to properly integrate a full MTA, such as Postfix. Patches
|
|
|
|
|
welcome!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To add an IMAP/POP3 server to a GuixSD system, add a
|
|
|
|
|
@code{dovecot-service} to the operating system definition:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@deffn {Scheme Procedure} dovecot-service [#:config (dovecot-configuration)]
|
|
|
|
|
Return a service that runs the Dovecot IMAP/POP3/LMTP mail server.
|
|
|
|
|
@end deffn
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, Dovecot doesn't need much configuration; the default
|
|
|
|
|
configuration object created by @code{(dovecot-configuration)} will
|
|
|
|
|
suffice if your mail is delivered to @code{~/Maildir}. A self-signed
|
|
|
|
|
certificate will be generated for TLS-protected connections, though
|
|
|
|
|
Dovecot will also listen on cleartext ports by default. There are a
|
|
|
|
|
number of options though which mail administrators might need to change,
|
|
|
|
|
and as is the case with other services, Guix allows the system
|
|
|
|
|
administrator to specify these parameters via a uniform Scheme interface.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, to specify that mail is located at @code{maildir~/.mail},
|
|
|
|
|
one would instantiate the Dovecot service like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(dovecot-service #:config
|
|
|
|
|
(dovecot-configuration
|
|
|
|
|
(mail-location "maildir:~/.mail")))
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The available configuration parameters follow. Each parameter
|
|
|
|
|
definition is preceded by its type; for example, @samp{string-list foo}
|
|
|
|
|
indicates that the @code{foo} parameter should be specified as a list of
|
|
|
|
|
strings. There is also a way to specify the configuration as a string,
|
|
|
|
|
if you have an old @code{dovecot.conf} file that you want to port over
|
|
|
|
|
from some other system; see the end for more details.

@c The following documentation was initially generated by
|
|
|
|
|
@c (generate-documentation) in (gnu services mail). Manually maintained
|
|
|
|
|
@c documentation is better, so we shouldn't hesitate to edit below as
|
|
|
|
|
@c needed. However if the change you want to make to this documentation
|
|
|
|
|
@c can be done in an automated way, it's probably easier to change
|
|
|
|
|
@c (generate-documentation) than to make it below and have to deal with
|
|
|
|
|
@c the churn as dovecot updates.

@deftypevr {@code{namespace-configuration} parameter} string separator
|
|
|
|
|
Hierarchy separator to use. You should use the same separator for
|
|
|
|
|
all namespaces or some clients get confused. @samp{/} is usually a good
|
|
|
|
|
one. The default however depends on the underlying mail storage
|
|
|
|
|
format.
|
|
|
|
|
Defaults to @samp{""}.

@deftypevr {@code{namespace-configuration} parameter} boolean inbox?
|
|

@deftypevr {@code{namespace-configuration} parameter} boolean hidden?
|
|
|
|
|
If namespace is hidden, it's not advertised to clients via NAMESPACE
|
|
|
|
|
extension. You'll most likely also want to set @samp{list? #f}. This is mostly
|
|
|
|
|
useful when converting from another server with different namespaces
|
|
|
|
|
which you want to deprecate but still keep working. For example you can
|
|
|
|
|
create hidden namespaces with prefixes @samp{~/mail/}, @samp{~%u/mail/}
|
|
|
|
|
and @samp{mail/}.

@deftypevr {@code{namespace-configuration} parameter} boolean list?
|
|
|
|
|
Show the mailboxes under this namespace with LIST command. This
|
|
|
|
|
makes the namespace visible for clients that don't support NAMESPACE
|
|
|
|
|
extension. The special @code{children} value lists child mailboxes, but
|
|
|
|
|
hides the namespace prefix.
|
|
|
|
|
Defaults to @samp{#t}.

@end deftypevr
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@deftypevr {@code{namespace-configuration} parameter} boolean subscriptions?
|
|
|
|
|
Namespace handles its own subscriptions. If set to @code{#f}, the
|
|
|
|
|
parent namespace handles them. The empty prefix should always have this
|
|
|
|
|
as @code{#t}.)
|
|
|
|

@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} space-separated-string-list login-trusted-networks
|
|
|

|
List of trusted network ranges. Connections from these IPs are
|
|
|
|

allowed to override their IP addresses and ports (for logging and for
|
|
|
|
|
authentication checks). @samp{disable-plaintext-auth} is also ignored
|
|
|
|
|
for these networks. Typically you'd specify your IMAP proxy servers
|

|
|
|
|
|
Show more verbose process titles (in ps). Currently shows user name
|
|
|
|
|
and IP address. Useful for seeing who are actually using the IMAP
|
|
|
|
|
processes (e.g. shared mailboxes or if same uid is used for multiple

|
|
|

|
Should all processes be killed when Dovecot master process shuts down.
|
|
|
|
|
Setting this to @code{#f} means that Dovecot can be upgraded without
|
|
|
|
|
forcing existing client connections to close (although that could also
|
|
|
|
|
be a problem if the upgrade is e.g. because of a security fix).

|
|
|
|
|
Disable LOGIN command and all other plaintext authentications unless
|
|
|
|
|
SSL/TLS is used (LOGINDISABLED capability). Note that if the remote IP
|
|
|
|
|
matches the local IP (i.e. you're connecting from the same computer),
|
|
|
|
|
the connection is considered secure and plaintext authentication is

allowed. See also ssl=required setting.

@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string auth-cache-ttl
|

Time to live for cached data. After TTL expires the cached record
|
|
|
|
|
is no longer used, *except* if the main database lookup returns internal
|
|
|
|
|
failure. We also try to handle password changes automatically: If
|
|
|
|
|
user's previous authentication was successful, but this one wasn't, the
|
|
|
|
|
cache isn't used. For now this works only with plaintext

List of realms for SASL authentication mechanisms that need them.
|
|
|
|

contains a character not listed in here, the login automatically fails.
|
|
|
|
|
This is just an extra check to make sure user can't exploit any
|
|
|
|
|
potential quote escaping vulnerabilities with SQL/LDAP databases. If
|
|
|
|
|
you want to allow all characters, set this value to empty.

@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string auth-username-format
|
|
|
|
|
Username formatting before it's looked up from databases. You can
|
|
|
|
|
use the standard variables here, e.g. %Lu would lowercase the username,
|
|
|
|
|
%n would drop away the domain if it was given, or @samp{%n-AT-%d} would
|
|
|
|
|
change the @samp{@@} into @samp{-AT-}. This translation is done after
|
|
|
|
|
@samp{auth-username-translation} changes.
|
|
|
|
|
Defaults to @samp{"%Lu"}.

If you want to allow master users to log in by specifying the master
|
|
|
|
|
username within the normal username string (i.e. not using SASL
|
|
|
|
|
mechanism's support for it), you can specify the separator character
|
|
|
|
|
here. The format is then <username><separator><master username>.
|
|
|
|
|
UW-IMAP uses @samp{*} as the separator, so that could be a good
|
|
|
|
|
choice.

@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-location
|
|
|
|
|
Location for users' mailboxes. The default is empty, which means
|
|
|
|
|
that Dovecot tries to find the mailboxes automatically. This won't work
|
|
|
|
|
if the user doesn't yet have any mail, so you should explicitly tell
|
|
|
|
|
Dovecot the full location.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're using mbox, giving a path to the INBOX
|
|
|
|
|
file (e.g. /var/mail/%u) isn't enough. You'll also need to tell Dovecot
|
|
|
|
|
where the other mailboxes are kept. This is called the "root mail
|
|
|
|
|
directory", and it must be the first path given in the
|
|
|
|
|
@samp{mail-location} setting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are a few special variables you can use, eg.:

|
|
|
|
|
Grant access to these supplementary groups for mail processes.
|
|
|
|
|
Typically these are used to set up access to shared mailboxes. Note
|
|
|
|
|
that it may be dangerous to set these if users can create
|
|
|
|
|
symlinks (e.g. if "mail" group is set here, ln -s /var/mail ~/mail/var
|
|
|
|
|
could allow a user to delete others' mailboxes, or ln -s
|
|
|

Allow full filesystem access to clients. There's no access checks
|

|
other than what the operating system does for the active UID/GID. It
|
|
|
|
|
works with both maildir and mboxes, allowing you to prefix mailboxes

@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean dotlock-use-excl?
|
|
|
|
|
Rely on @samp{O_EXCL} to work when creating dotlock files. NFS
|
|
|
|
|
supports @samp{O_EXCL} since version 3, so this should be safe to use
|
|
|
|
|
nowadays by default.

Useful with e.g. NFS when write()s are delayed
|

Never use it (best performance, but crashes can lose data).

|
|
Locking method for index files. Alternatives are fcntl, flock and

List of directories under which chrooting is allowed for mail

Default chroot directory for mail processes. This can be overridden
|
|
|
|
|
for specific users in user database by giving /./ in user's home
|
|
|
|
|
directory (e.g. /home/./user chroots into /home). Note that usually
|
|
|
|
|
there is no real need to do chrooting, Dovecot doesn't allow users to
|
|
|
|
|
access files outside their mail directory anyway. If your home

|
|
|

|
The minimum number of mails in a mailbox before updates are done to

|
cache file. This allows optimizing Dovecot's behavior to do less disk
|
|
|
|

writes at the cost of more disk reads.

@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mailbox-idle-check-interval
|
|
|
|
|
When IDLE command is running, mailbox is checked once in a while to
|
|
|
|
|
see if there are any new mails or other changes. This setting defines
|
|
|
|
|
the minimum time to wait between those checks. Dovecot can also use
|
|
|
|
|
dnotify, inotify and kqueue to find out immediately when changes
|

occur.

@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mail-save-crlf?
|
|
|
|
|
Save mails with CR+LF instead of plain LF. This makes sending those
|
|
|
|
|
mails take less CPU, especially with sendfile() syscall with Linux and
|
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD. But it also creates a bit more disk I/O which may just make it
|
|
|
|
|
slower. Also note that if other software reads the mboxes/maildirs,
|
|
|
|
|
they may handle the extra CRs wrong and cause problems.
|

Defaults to @samp{#f}.

@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean maildir-stat-dirs?
|
|
|
|
|
By default LIST command returns all entries in maildir beginning
|
|
|
|
|
with a dot. Enabling this option makes Dovecot return only entries
|
|
|
|
|
which are directories. This is done by stat()ing each entry, so it
|
|
|
|
|
causes more disk I/O.
|
|
|
|
|
(For systems setting struct @samp{dirent->d_type} this check is free
|
|
|
|
|
and it's done always regardless of this setting).

@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean maildir-copy-with-hardlinks?
|
|
|
|
|
When copying a message, do it with hard links whenever possible.
|

|
|
|
This makes the performance much better, and it's unlikely to have any
|
|
|
|
|
side effects.

directory only when its mtime changes unexpectedly or when we can't find
|

@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} space-separated-string-list mbox-read-locks
|
|
|
|
|
Which locking methods to use for locking mbox. There are four
|
|
|
|
|
available:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
@item dotlock
|
|
|
|
|
Create <mailbox>.lock file. This is the oldest and most NFS-safe
|
|
|
|
|
solution. If you want to use /var/mail/ like directory, the users will
|
|
|
|
|
need write access to that directory.
|
|
|
|
|
@item dotlock-try
|
|
|
|
|
Same as dotlock, but if it fails because of permissions or because there
|
|
|
|
|
isn't enough disk space, just skip it.
|
|
|
|
|
@item fcntl
|
|
|
|
|
Use this if possible. Works with NFS too if lockd is used.
|
|
|
|
|
@item flock
|
|
|
|
|
May not exist in all systems. Doesn't work with NFS.
|
|
|
|
|
@item lockf
|
|
|
|
|
May not exist in all systems. Doesn't work with NFS.
|
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can use multiple locking methods; if you do the order they're declared
|
|
|
|
|
in is important to avoid deadlocks if other MTAs/MUAs are using multiple
|
|
|
|
|
locking methods as well. Some operating systems don't allow using some of
|
|
|
|
|
them simultaneously.

|
If dotlock exists but the mailbox isn't modified in any way,
|
|

override the lock file after this much time.

|
|
|
|
@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mbox-dirty-syncs?
|
|
|
|
|
When mbox changes unexpectedly we have to fully read it to find out
|
|
|
|
|
what changed. If the mbox is large this can take a long time. Since
|
|
|
|
|
the change is usually just a newly appended mail, it'd be faster to
|
|
|
|
|
simply read the new mails. If this setting is enabled, Dovecot does
|
|
|
|
|
this but still safely fallbacks to re-reading the whole mbox file
|
|
|
|
|
whenever something in mbox isn't how it's expected to be. The only real
|
|
|
|
|
downside to this setting is that if some other MUA changes message
|
|
|
|
|
flags, Dovecot doesn't notice it immediately. Note that a full sync is
|
|
|
|
|
done with SELECT, EXAMINE, EXPUNGE and CHECK commands.
|
|
|
|
|
Defaults to @samp{#t}.

@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mbox-very-dirty-syncs?
|
|
|
|
|
Like @samp{mbox-dirty-syncs}, but don't do full syncs even with SELECT,
|
|
|
|
|
EXAMINE, EXPUNGE or CHECK commands. If this is set,
|
|
|

@samp{mbox-dirty-syncs} is ignored.

|
|
|
|
|
Delay writing mbox headers until doing a full write sync (EXPUNGE
|
|
|
|
|
and CHECK commands and when closing the mailbox). This is especially
|
|
|
|
|
useful for POP3 where clients often delete all mails. The downside is
|
|
|
|
|
that our changes aren't immediately visible to other MUAs.

@table @code

@item delay-newmail

Send EXISTS/RECENT new mail notifications only when replying to NOOP and

|
|
CHECK commands. Some clients ignore them otherwise, for example OSX
|
|
|
|
|
Mail (<v2.1). Outlook Express breaks more badly though, without this it
|
|
|
|
|
may show user "Message no longer in server" errors. Note that OE6
|
|
|
|
|
still breaks even with this workaround if synchronization is set to
|
|
|
|
|
"Headers Only".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item tb-extra-mailbox-sep
|
|
|
|
|
Thunderbird gets somehow confused with LAYOUT=fs (mbox and dbox) and
|
|
|
|
|
adds extra @samp{/} suffixes to mailbox names. This option causes Dovecot to
|
|
|
|
|
ignore the extra @samp{/} instead of treating it as invalid mailbox name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item tb-lsub-flags
|
|
|
|
|
Show \Noselect flags for LSUB replies with LAYOUT=fs (e.g. mbox).
|
|
|
|
|
This makes Thunderbird realize they aren't selectable and show them
|
|
|
|
|
greyed out, instead of only later giving "not selectable" popup error.
|
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|

@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string imap-urlauth-host
|
|
|
|

Host allowed in URLAUTH URLs sent by client. "*" allows all.

|
|
Defaults to @samp{""}.
|
|
|
|
|
@end deftypevr
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whew! Lots of configuration options. The nice thing about it though is
|
|
|
|
|
that GuixSD has a complete interface to Dovecot's configuration
|
|
|
|
|
language. This allows not only a nice way to declare configurations,
|
|
|
|
|
but also offers reflective capabilities as well: users can write code to
|
|
|
|
|
inspect and transform configurations from within Scheme.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, it could be that you just want to get a @code{dovecot.conf} up
|
|
|
|
|
and running. In that case, you can pass an
|
|
|
|
|
@code{opaque-dovecot-configuration} as the @code{#:config} paramter to
|
|
|
|
|
@code{dovecot-service}. As its name indicates, an opaque configuration
|
|
|
|
|
does not have easy reflective capabilities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Available @code{opaque-dovecot-configuration} fields are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@deftypevr {@code{opaque-dovecot-configuration} parameter} package dovecot
|
|
|
|
|
The dovecot package.
|
|
|
|
|
@end deftypevr
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@deftypevr {@code{opaque-dovecot-configuration} parameter} string string
|
|
|
|
|
The contents of the @code{dovecot.conf}, as a string.
|
|
|
|
|
@end deftypevr
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, if your @code{dovecot.conf} is just the empty string, you
|
|
|
|
|
could instantiate a dovecot service like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(dovecot-service #:config
|
|
|
|
|
(opaque-dovecot-configuration
|
|
|
|
|
(string "")))

@subsection Setuid Programs
|

|
|
@cindex setuid programs
|
|
|
|
|
Some programs need to run with ``root'' privileges, even when they are
|
|
|
|
|
launched by unprivileged users. A notorious example is the
|
2015-07-23 07:39:30 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@command{passwd} program, which users can run to change their
|
|
|
|
|
password, and which needs to access the @file{/etc/passwd} and
|
2014-07-17 16:10:16 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@file{/etc/shadow} files---something normally restricted to root, for
|
|
|
|
|
obvious security reasons. To address that, these executables are
|
|
|
|
|
@dfn{setuid-root}, meaning that they always run with root privileges
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{How Change Persona,,, libc, The GNU C Library Reference Manual},
|
2015-12-13 13:26:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
for more info about the setuid mechanism.)
|
2014-07-17 16:10:16 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The store itself @emph{cannot} contain setuid programs: that would be a
|
|
|
|
|
security issue since any user on the system can write derivations that
|
|
|
|
|
populate the store (@pxref{The Store}). Thus, a different mechanism is
|
|
|
|
|
used: instead of changing the setuid bit directly on files that are in
|
|
|
|
|
the store, we let the system administrator @emph{declare} which programs
|
|
|
|
|
should be setuid root.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{setuid-programs} field of an @code{operating-system}
|
|
|
|
|
declaration contains a list of G-expressions denoting the names of
|
|
|
|
|
programs to be setuid-root (@pxref{Using the Configuration System}).
|
|
|
|
|
For instance, the @command{passwd} program, which is part of the Shadow
|
|
|
|
|
package, can be designated by this G-expression (@pxref{G-Expressions}):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
#~(string-append #$shadow "/bin/passwd")
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A default set of setuid programs is defined by the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{%setuid-programs} variable of the @code{(gnu system)} module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@defvr {Scheme Variable} %setuid-programs
|
|
|
|
|
A list of G-expressions denoting common programs that are setuid-root.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The list includes commands such as @command{passwd}, @command{ping},
|
|
|
|
|
@command{su}, and @command{sudo}.
|
|
|
|
|
@end defvr
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Under the hood, the actual setuid programs are created in the
|
|
|
|
|
@file{/run/setuid-programs} directory at system activation time. The
|
|
|
|
|
files in this directory refer to the ``real'' binaries, which are in the
|
|
|
|
|
store.

@cindex HTTPS, certificates
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex X.509 certificates
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex TLS
|
|
|
|
|
Web servers available over HTTPS (that is, HTTP over the transport-layer
|
|
|
|
|
security mechanism, TLS) send client programs an @dfn{X.509 certificate}
|
|
|
|
|
that the client can then use to @emph{authenticate} the server. To do
|
|
|
|
|
that, clients verify that the server's certificate is signed by a
|
|
|
|
|
so-called @dfn{certificate authority} (CA). But to verify the CA's
|
|
|
|
|
signature, clients must have first acquired the CA's certificate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Web browsers such as GNU@tie{}IceCat include their own set of CA
|
|
|
|
|
certificates, such that they are able to verify CA signatures
|
|
|
|
|
out-of-the-box.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, most other programs that can talk HTTPS---@command{wget},
|
|
|
|
|
@command{git}, @command{w3m}, etc.---need to be told where CA
|
|
|
|
|
certificates can be found.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{nss-certs}
|
|
|
|
|
In GuixSD, this is done by adding a package that provides certificates
|
|
|
|
|
to the @code{packages} field of the @code{operating-system} declaration
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{operating-system Reference}). GuixSD includes one such package,
|
|
|
|
|
@code{nss-certs}, which is a set of CA certificates provided as part of
|
|
|
|
|
Mozilla's Network Security Services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that it is @emph{not} part of @var{%base-packages}, so you need to
|
|
|
|
|
explicitly add it. The @file{/etc/ssl/certs} directory, which is where
|
|
|
|
|
most applications and libraries look for certificates by default, points
|
|
|
|
|
to the certificates installed globally.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unprivileged users can also install their own certificate package in
|
|
|
|
|
their profile. A number of environment variables need to be defined so
|
|
|
|
|
that applications and libraries know where to find them. Namely, the
|
|
|
|
|
OpenSSL library honors the @code{SSL_CERT_DIR} and @code{SSL_CERT_FILE}
|
|
|
|
|
variables. Some applications add their own environment variables; for
|
|
|
|
|
instance, the Git version control system honors the certificate bundle
|
|
|
|
|
pointed to by the @code{GIT_SSL_CAINFO} environment variable.

@cindex NSS
|

The @code{(gnu system nss)} module provides bindings to the
|
|
|
|
|
configuration file of libc's @dfn{name service switch} or @dfn{NSS}
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{NSS Configuration File,,, libc, The GNU C Library Reference
|
|
|
|
|
Manual}). In a nutshell, the NSS is a mechanism that allows libc to be
|
|
|
|
|
extended with new ``name'' lookup methods for system databases, which
|
|
|
|
|
includes host names, service names, user accounts, and more (@pxref{Name
|
|
|
|
|
Service Switch, System Databases and Name Service Switch,, libc, The GNU
|
|
|
|
|
C Library Reference Manual}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The NSS configuration specifies, for each system database, which lookup
|
|
|
|
|
method is to be used, and how the various methods are chained
|
|
|
|
|
together---for instance, under which circumstances NSS should try the
|
|
|
|
|
next method in the list. The NSS configuration is given in the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{name-service-switch} field of @code{operating-system} declarations
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{operating-system Reference, @code{name-service-switch}}).

Don't worry: the @code{%mdns-host-lookup-nss} variable (see below)
|
|
|
|
|
contains this configuration, so you won't have to type it if all you

want is to have @code{.local} host lookup working.

|
|
|

2015-04-12 20:34:47 +00:00
|
|

Note that, in this case, in addition to setting the

@code{name-service-switch} of the @code{operating-system} declaration,
|
2015-10-12 19:24:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
you also need to use @code{avahi-service} (@pxref{Networking Services,
|
|
|
|
|
@code{avahi-service}}), or @var{%desktop-services}, which includes it
|
|
|
|

(@pxref{Desktop Services}). Doing this makes @code{nss-mdns} accessible

to the name service cache daemon (@pxref{Base Services,

The reference for name service switch configuration is given below. It

Compared to libc's NSS configuration file format, it has the advantage

not only of adding this warm parenthetic feel that we like, but also

static checks: you'll know about syntax errors and typos as soon as you

@cindex initrd (initial RAM disk)
|
|
|
|
|
For bootstrapping purposes, the Linux-Libre kernel is passed an
|
|
|
|
|
@dfn{initial RAM disk}, or @dfn{initrd}. An initrd contains a temporary
|
|
|
|
|
root file system, as well as an initialization script. The latter is
|
|
|
|
|
responsible for mounting the real root file system, and for loading any
|
|
|
|
|
kernel modules that may be needed to achieve that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{initrd} field of an @code{operating-system} declaration allows
|
|
|
|
|
you to specify which initrd you would like to use. The @code{(gnu
|
|
|
|
|
system linux-initrd)} module provides two ways to build an initrd: the
|
|
|
|
|
high-level @code{base-initrd} procedure, and the low-level
|
|
|
|
|
@code{expression->initrd} procedure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{base-initrd} procedure is intended to cover most common uses.
|
|
|
|
|
For example, if you want to add a bunch of kernel modules to be loaded
|
|
|
|
|
at boot time, you can define the @code{initrd} field of the operating
|
|
|
|
|
system declaration like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2014-09-22 19:29:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
(initrd (lambda (file-systems . rest)
|
2015-02-08 18:00:01 +00:00
|
|
|
|
;; Create a standard initrd that has modules "foo.ko"
|
|
|
|
|
;; and "bar.ko", as well as their dependencies, in

|
|
|
|
;; addition to the modules available by default.

The @code{base-initrd} procedure also handles common use cases that
|
|
|
|
|
involves using the system as a QEMU guest, or as a ``live'' system whose
|
|
|
|
|
root file system is volatile.

The initial RAM disk produced by @code{base-initrd} honors several
|
|
|
|
|
options passed on the Linux kernel command line (that is, arguments
|
|
|
|
|
passed @i{via} GRUB's @code{linux} command, or with QEMU's
|
|
|
|
|
@code{-append} option), notably:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
@item --load=@var{boot}
|
|
|
|
|
Tell the initial RAM disk to load @var{boot}, a file containing a Scheme
|
|
|
|
|
program, once it has mounted the root file system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GuixSD uses this option to yield control to a boot program that runs the
|
2016-01-27 13:33:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
service activation programs and then spawns the GNU@tie{}Shepherd, the
|
2016-01-16 13:44:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
initialization system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --root=@var{root}
|
|
|
|
|
Mount @var{root} as the root file system. @var{root} can be a device
|
|
|
|
|
device name like @code{/dev/sda1}, a partition label, or a partition
|
|
|
|
|
UUID.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --system=@var{system}
|
|
|
|
|
Have @file{/run/booted-system} and @file{/run/current-system} point to
|
|
|
|
|
@var{system}.

|
|
|
|
@cindex module, black-listing
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex black list, of kernel modules
|
|
|
|
|
Instruct the initial RAM disk as well as the @command{modprobe} command
|
|
|
|
|
(from the kmod package) to refuse to load @var{modules}. @var{modules}
|
|
|
|
|
must be a comma-separated list of module names---e.g.,
|
|
|
|
|
@code{usbkbd,9pnet}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item --repl
|
|
|
|
|
Start a read-eval-print loop (REPL) from the initial RAM disk before it
|
|
|
|
|
tries to load kernel modules and to mount the root file system. Our
|
|
|
|
|
marketing team calls it @dfn{boot-to-Guile}. The Schemer in you will

love it. @xref{Using Guile Interactively,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference

Return a monadic derivation that builds a generic initrd. @var{file-systems} is

|
|
|

a list of file-systems to be mounted by the initrd, possibly in addition to

|
When @var{qemu-networking?} is true, set up networking with the standard QEMU
|
|
|
|
|
parameters. When @var{virtio?} is true, load additional modules so the initrd can
|
|
|
|
|
be used as a QEMU guest with para-virtualized I/O drivers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When @var{volatile-root?} is true, the root file system is writable but any changes
|
|
|
|
|
to it are lost.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The initrd is automatically populated with all the kernel modules necessary
|
|
|
|
|
for @var{file-systems} and for the given options. However, additional kernel
|
|
|
|
|
modules can be listed in @var{extra-modules}. They will be added to the initrd, and
|
|
|
|
|
loaded at boot time in the order in which they appear.

Needless to say, the initrds we produce and use embed a

|
statically-linked Guile, and the initialization program is a Guile
|
|
|
|
|
program. That gives a lot of flexibility. The

Once you have written an operating system declaration, as seen in the

|
|
|
|
previous section, it can be @dfn{instantiated} using the @command{guix
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
@var{file} must be the name of a file containing an
|
|
|
|
|
@code{operating-system} declaration. @var{action} specifies how the
|
|
|
|
|
operating system is instantiate. Currently the following values are
|
|
|
|
|
supported:

Build the operating system described in @var{file}, activate it, and
|
|
|
|
|
switch to it@footnote{This action is usable only on systems already
|
2015-10-26 20:24:26 +00:00
|
|

This effects all the configuration specified in @var{file}: user
|
|
|
|
|
accounts, system services, global package list, setuid programs, etc.
|
2016-02-03 20:59:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The command starts system services specified in @var{file} that are not
|
|
|
|
|
currently running; if a service is currently running, it does not
|
|
|
|
|
attempt to upgrade it since it would not be possible without stopping it
|
|
|
|
|
first.

|
|

|
It also adds a GRUB menu entry for the new OS configuration, and moves
|
|
|
|
|
entries for older configurations to a submenu---unless
|
|

|
@option{--no-grub} is passed.

operating system specified in @var{file}. This is useful for first-time
|
2015-05-12 08:07:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
installations of GuixSD. For instance:
|
2014-07-02 21:42:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
guix system init my-os-config.scm /mnt
|
2014-07-02 21:42:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
copies to @file{/mnt} all the store items required by the configuration
|
|
|
|
|
specified in @file{my-os-config.scm}. This includes configuration
|
|
|
|
|
files, packages, and so on. It also creates other essential files
|
|
|
|
|
needed for the system to operate correctly---e.g., the @file{/etc},
|
|
|
|
|
@file{/var}, and @file{/run} directories, and the @file{/bin/sh} file.

|
|
|
|
This command also installs GRUB on the device specified in
|
|
|
|
|
@file{my-os-config}, unless the @option{--no-grub} option was passed.

|
|
|
|
Build a virtual machine that contain the operating system declared in
|
|

|
|
@var{file}, and return a script to run that virtual machine (VM).
|
2014-11-08 14:02:48 +00:00
|
|

2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The VM shares its store with the host system.
|
2014-07-02 21:42:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-11-20 23:02:26 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Additional file systems can be shared between the host and the VM using
|
|
|
|
|
the @code{--share} and @code{--expose} command-line options: the former
|
|
|
|
|
specifies a directory to be shared with write access, while the latter
|
|
|
|
|
provides read-only access to the shared directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The example below creates a VM in which the user's home directory is
|
|
|
|
|
accessible read-only, and where the @file{/exchange} directory is a
|
|
|
|
|
read-write mapping of the host's @file{$HOME/tmp}:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix system vm my-config.scm \
|
|
|
|
|
--expose=$HOME --share=$HOME/tmp=/exchange
|
|
|
|
|
@end example

|
|
|
|
On GNU/Linux, the default is to boot directly to the kernel; this has
|
|
|
|
|
the advantage of requiring only a very tiny root disk image since the
|
|
|
|
|
host's store can then be mounted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{--full-boot} option forces a complete boot sequence, starting
|
|
|
|
|
with the bootloader. This requires more disk space since a root image
|
|
|
|
|
containing at least the kernel, initrd, and bootloader data files must
|
|
|
|
|
be created. The @code{--image-size} option can be used to specify the
|
|
|
|
|
image's size.
|
2014-11-07 21:43:33 +00:00
|
|
|

2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@item vm-image
|
|
|
|
|
@itemx disk-image
|
|
|
|
|
Return a virtual machine or disk image of the operating system declared
|
|
|
|
|
in @var{file} that stands alone. Use the @option{--image-size} option
|
|
|
|
|
to specify the size of the image.
|

|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
When using @code{vm-image}, the returned image is in qcow2 format, which
|
2016-01-24 21:04:35 +00:00
|
|
|
|
the QEMU emulator can efficiently use. @xref{Running GuixSD in a VM},

|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
When using @code{disk-image}, a raw disk image is produced; it can be
|
|
|
|
|
copied as is to a USB stick, for instance. Assuming @code{/dev/sdc} is
|
|
|
|
|
the device corresponding to a USB stick, one can copy the image on it
|
|
|
|
|
using the following command:
|
2014-07-02 21:42:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
# dd if=$(guix system disk-image my-os.scm) of=/dev/sdc
|

|
@item container
|
|
|
|
|
Return a script to run the operating system declared in @var{file}
|
|
|
|
|
within a container. Containers are a set of lightweight isolation
|
|
|
|
|
mechanisms provided by the kernel Linux-libre. Containers are
|
|
|
|
|
substantially less resource-demanding than full virtual machines since
|
|
|
|
|
the kernel, shared objects, and other resources can be shared with the
|
|
|
|
|
host system; this also means they provide thinner isolation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, the script must be run as root in order to support more than
|
|
|
|
|
a single user and group. The container shares its store with the host
|
|
|
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As with the @code{vm} action (@pxref{guix system vm}), additional file
|
|
|
|
|
systems to be shared between the host and container can be specified
|
|
|
|
|
using the @option{--share} and @option{--expose} options:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|

guix system container my-config.scm \
|

Once you have built, configured, re-configured, and re-re-configured
|
|
|
|
|
your GuixSD installation, you may find it useful to list the operating
|
|
|
|
|
system generations available on disk---and that you can choose from the
|
|
|
|
|
GRUB boot menu:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item list-generations
|
|
|
|
|
List a summary of each generation of the operating system available on
|
|
|
|
|
disk, in a human-readable way. This is similar to the
|
|
|
|
|
@option{--list-generations} option of @command{guix package}
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Invoking guix package}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Optionally, one can specify a pattern, with the same syntax that is used
|
|
|
|
|
in @command{guix package --list-generations}, to restrict the list of
|
|
|
|
|
generations displayed. For instance, the following command displays
|
|
|
|
|
generations up to 10-day old:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ guix system list-generations 10d
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

@subsection Running GuixSD in a virtual machine
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One way to run GuixSD in a virtual machine (VM) is to build a GuixSD
|
|
|
|
|
virtual machine image using @command{guix system vm-image}
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Invoking guix system}). The returned image is in qcow2 format,
|
|
|
|
|
which the @uref{http://qemu.org/, QEMU emulator} can efficiently use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To run the image in QEMU, copy it out of the store (@pxref{The Store})
|
|
|
|
|
and give yourself permission to write to the copy. When invoking QEMU,
|
|
|
|
|
you must choose a system emulator that is suitable for your hardware
|
|
|
|
|
platform. Here is a minimal QEMU invocation that will boot the result
|
|
|
|
|
of @command{guix system vm-image} on x86_64 hardware:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
$ qemu-system-x86_64 \
|
|
|
|
|
-net user -net nic,model=virtio \
|
|
|
|
|
-enable-kvm -m 256 /tmp/qemu-image
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is what each of these options means:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
@item qemu-system-x86_64
|
|
|
|
|
This specifies the hardware platform to emulate. This should match the
|
|
|
|
|
host.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item -net user
|
|
|
|
|
Enable the unprivileged user-mode network stack. The guest OS can
|
|
|
|
|
access the host but not vice versa. This is the simplest way to get the
|
|
|
|
|
guest OS online. If you don't choose a network stack, the boot will
|
|
|
|
|
fail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item -net nic,model=virtio
|
|
|
|
|
You must create a network interface of a given model. If you don't
|
|
|
|
|
create a NIC, the boot will fail. Assuming your hardware platform is
|
|
|
|
|
x86_64, you can get a list of available NIC models by running
|
|
|
|
|
@command{qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic,model=help}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item -enable-kvm
|
|
|
|
|
If your system has hardware virtualization extensions, enabling the
|
|
|
|
|
Linux kernel's virtual machine support (KVM) will make things run
|
|
|
|
|
faster.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item -m 256
|
|
|
|
|
RAM available to the guest OS, in mebibytes. Defaults to 128@tie{}MiB,
|
|
|
|
|
which may be insufficent for some operations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item /tmp/qemu-image
|
|
|
|
|
The file name of the qcow2 image.

@cindex daemons

Here we define a @dfn{service} as, broadly, something that extends the
|
|
|
|
|
operating system's functionality. Often a service is a process---a
|
|
|
|
|
@dfn{daemon}---started when the system boots: a secure shell server, a
|
|
|
|
|
Web server, the Guix build daemon, etc. Sometimes a service is a daemon
|
|
|
|
|
whose execution can be triggered by another daemon---e.g., an FTP server
|
|
|
|
|
started by @command{inetd} or a D-Bus service activated by
|
|
|
|
|
@command{dbus-daemon}. Occasionally, a service does not map to a
|
|
|
|
|
daemon. For instance, the ``account'' service collects user accounts
|
|
|
|
|
and makes sure they exist when the system runs; the ``udev'' service
|
|
|
|
|
collects device management rules and makes them available to the eudev
|
|
|
|
|
daemon; the @file{/etc} service populates the system's @file{/etc}
|
|
|
|
|
directory.

@cindex service types
|
|
|
|
|
Technically, developers can define @dfn{service types} to express these
|
|
|
|
|
relations. There can be any number of services of a given type on the
|
|
|
|
|
system---for instance, a system running two instances of the GNU secure
|
|
|
|
|
shell server (lsh) has two instances of @var{lsh-service-type}, with
|
|
|
|
|
different parameters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following section describes the programming interface for service
|
|
|
|
|
types and services.

A @dfn{service type} is a node in the DAG described above. Let us start
|
|
|
|
|
with a simple example, the service type for the Guix build daemon
|
|
|
|

@enumerate
|

@item

A name, whose sole purpose is to make inspection and debugging easier.
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
|
A list of @dfn{service extensions}, where each extension designates the
|
|
|
|
|
target service type and a procedure that, given the service's
|
|
|
|
|
parameters, returns a list of object to extend the service of that type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Every service type has at least one service extension. The only

exception is the @dfn{boot service type}, which is the ultimate service.

@item account-service-type
|
|
|
|
|
This extension for this service is computed by @var{guix-accounts},
|
|
|
|
|
which returns a list of @code{user-group} and @code{user-account}
|
|
|
|
|
objects representing the build user accounts (@pxref{Invoking
|
|
|
|
|
guix-daemon}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item activation-service-type
|
|
|
|
|
Here @var{guix-activation} is a procedure that returns a gexp, which is
|
|
|
|
|
a code snippet to run at ``activation time''---e.g., when the service is
|
|
|
|
|
booted.
|
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A service of this type is instantiated like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(service guix-service-type
|
|
|
|
|
(guix-configuration
|
|
|
|
|
(build-accounts 5)
|
|
|
|
|
(use-substitutes? #f)))
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The second argument to the @code{service} form is a value representing
|
|
|
|
|
the parameters of this specific service instance.
|
|
|
|
|
@xref{guix-configuration-type, @code{guix-configuration}}, for
|
|
|
|
|
information about the @code{guix-configuration} data type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@var{guix-service-type} is quite simple because it extends other
|
|
|
|
|
services but is not extensible itself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@c @subsubsubsection Extensible Service Types
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The service type for an @emph{extensible} service looks like this:

|
|

@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
@item compose
|
|
|
|
|
This is the procedure to @dfn{compose} the list of extensions to
|
|
|
|
|
services of this type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Services can extend the udev service by passing it lists of rules; we
|
|
|
|
|
compose those extensions simply by concatenating them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item extend
|
|
|
|
|
This procedure defines how the service's value is @dfn{extended} with
|
|
|
|
|
the composition of the extensions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Udev extensions are composed into a list of rules, but the udev service
|
|
|
|
|
value is itself a @code{<udev-configuration>} record. So here, we
|
|
|
|
|
extend that record by appending the list of rules is contains to the
|
|
|
|
|
list of contributed rules.
|
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There can be only one instance of an extensible service type such as
|
|
|
|
|
@var{udev-service-type}. If there were more, the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{service-extension} specifications would be ambiguous.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
Still here? The next section provides a reference of the programming
|
|
|
|
|
interface for services.

@deffn {Scheme Procedure} service-kind @var{service}
|
|
|
|
|
Return the type of @var{service}---i.e., a @code{<service-type>} object.
|
|
|
|
|
@end deffn
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@deffn {Scheme Procedure} service-parameters @var{service}
|
|
|
|
|
Return the value associated with @var{service}. It represents its
|
|
|
|
|
parameters.
|
|
|
|
|
@end deffn
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Here is an example of how a service is created and manipulated:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(define s
|
|
|
|
|
(service nginx-service-type
|
|
|
|
|
(nginx-configuration
|
|
|
|
|
(nginx nginx)
|
|
|
|
|
(log-directory log-directory)
|
|
|
|
|
(run-directory run-directory)
|
|
|
|
|
(file config-file))))
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(service? s)
|
|
|
|
|
@result{} #t
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(eq? (service-kind s) nginx-service-type)
|
|
|
|
|
@result{} #t
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-10-28 20:36:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The @code{modify-services} form provides a handy way to change the
|
|
|
|
|
parameters of some of the services of a list such as
|
|
|
|
|
@var{%base-services} (@pxref{Base Services, @code{%base-services}}). Of
|
|
|
|
|
course, you could always use standard list combinators such as
|
|
|
|
|
@code{map} and @code{fold} to do that (@pxref{SRFI-1, List Library,,
|
|
|
|
|
guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}); @code{modify-services} simply
|
|
|
|
|
provides a more concise form for this common pattern.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@deffn {Scheme Syntax} modify-services @var{services} @
|
|
|
|
|
(@var{type} @var{variable} => @var{body}) @dots{}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Modify the services listed in @var{services} according to the given
|
|
|
|
|
clauses. Each clause has the form:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(@var{type} @var{variable} => @var{body})
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where @var{type} is a service type, such as @var{guix-service-type}, and
|
|
|
|
|
@var{variable} is an identifier that is bound within @var{body} to the
|
|
|
|
|
value of the service of that @var{type}. @xref{Using the Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
System}, for an example.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a shorthand for:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(map (lambda (service) @dots{}) @var{services})
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
@end deffn
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next comes the programming interface for service types. This is
|
|
|
|
|
something you want to know when writing new service definitions, but not
|
|
|
|
|
necessarily when simply looking for ways to customize your
|
|
|
|
|
@code{operating-system} declaration.

@deftp {Data Type} service-type
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex service type
|
|
|
|
|
This is the representation of a @dfn{service type} (@pxref{Service Types
|
|
|
|
|
and Services}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @asis
|
|
|
|
|
@item @code{name}
|
|
|
|
|
This is a symbol, used only to simplify inspection and debugging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item @code{extensions}
|
|
|
|
|
A non-empty list of @code{<service-extension>} objects (see below.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item @code{compose} (default: @code{#f})
|
|
|
|
|
If this is @code{#f}, then the service type denotes services that cannot
|
|
|
|
|
be extended---i.e., services that do not receive ``values'' from other
|
|
|
|
|
services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, it must be a one-argument procedure. The procedure is called
|
|
|
|
|
by @code{fold-services} and is passed a list of values collected from
|
|
|
|
|
extensions. It must return a value that is a valid parameter value for
|
|
|
|
|
the service instance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item @code{extend} (default: @code{#f})
|
|
|
|
|
If this is @code{#f}, services of this type cannot be extended.
|
|
|

At the core of the service abstraction lies the @code{fold-services}

procedure, which is responsible for ``compiling'' a list of services
|
2015-11-02 17:44:17 +00:00
|
|
|
|
down to a single directory that contains everything needed to boot and
|
|
|
|
|
run the system---the directory shown by the @command{guix system build}
|
|
|
|
|
command (@pxref{Invoking guix system}). In essence, it propagates
|
|
|
|
|
service extensions down the service graph, updating each node parameters
|
|
|
|
|
on the way, until it reaches the root node.

@defvr {Scheme Variable} etc-service-type
|
|
|
|
|
The type of the @file{/etc} service. This service can be extended by
|
|
|
|
|
passing it name/file tuples such as:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(list `("issue" ,(plain-file "issue" "Welcome!\n")))
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this example, the effect would be to add an @file{/etc/issue} file
|
|
|
|
|
pointing to the given file.

@defvr {Scheme Variable} setuid-program-service-type
|
|
|
|
|
Type for the ``setuid-program service''. This service collects lists of
|
|
|
|
|
executable file names, passed as gexps, and adds them to the set of
|
|
|
|
|
setuid-root programs on the system (@pxref{Setuid Programs}).

|
|
|
|
|
Type of the service that populates the @dfn{system profile}---i.e., the
|
|
|
|
|
programs under @file{/run/current-system/profile}. Other services can
|
|
|
|

The @code{(gnu services shepherd)} provides a way to define services
|
|
|
|
|
managed by the GNU@tie{}Shepherd, which is GuixSD initialization
|
|
|
|
|
system---the first process that is started when the system boots,

Services in the Shepherd can depend on each other. For instance, the
|
|
|
|
|
SSH daemon may need to be started after the syslog daemon has been
|
|
|
|
|
started, which in turn can only happen once all the file systems have
|
|
|
|
|
been mounted. The simple operating system defined earlier (@pxref{Using
|
|
|
|
|
the Configuration System}) results in a service graph like this:

@cindex debugging files
|
|
|
|
|
Program binaries, as produced by the GCC compilers for instance, are
|
|
|
|
|
typically written in the ELF format, with a section containing
|
|
|
|
|
@dfn{debugging information}. Debugging information is what allows the
|
|
|
|
|
debugger, GDB, to map binary code to source code; it is required to
|
|
|
|
|
debug a compiled program in good conditions.
|

2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The problem with debugging information is that is takes up a fair amount
|
|
|
|
|
of disk space. For example, debugging information for the GNU C Library
|
|
|
|
|
weighs in at more than 60 MiB. Thus, as a user, keeping all the
|
|
|
|
|
debugging info of all the installed programs is usually not an option.
|
|
|
|
|
Yet, space savings should not come at the cost of an impediment to
|
|
|
|
|
debugging---especially in the GNU system, which should make it easier
|
|
|
|
|
for users to exert their computing freedom (@pxref{GNU Distribution}).

2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Thankfully, the GNU Binary Utilities (Binutils) and GDB provide a
|
|
|
|
|
mechanism that allows users to get the best of both worlds: debugging
|
|
|
|
|
information can be stripped from the binaries and stored in separate
|
|
|
|
|
files. GDB is then able to load debugging information from those files,
|
|
|
|
|
when they are available (@pxref{Separate Debug Files,,, gdb, Debugging
|
|
|
|
|
with GDB}).

|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The GNU distribution takes advantage of this by storing debugging
|
|
|
|
|
information in the @code{lib/debug} sub-directory of a separate package
|
|
|
|
|
output unimaginatively called @code{debug} (@pxref{Packages with
|
|
|
|
|
Multiple Outputs}). Users can choose to install the @code{debug} output

of a package when they need it. For instance, the following command
|
|
|
|
|
installs the debugging information for the GNU C Library and for GNU
|
|
|
|
|
Guile:
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
guix package -i glibc:debug guile:debug
|
2014-07-03 21:36:01 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
GDB must then be told to look for debug files in the user's profile, by
|
|
|
|
|
setting the @code{debug-file-directory} variable (consider setting it
|
|
|
|
|
from the @file{~/.gdbinit} file, @pxref{Startup,,, gdb, Debugging with
|
|
|
|
|
GDB}):
|
2014-07-03 21:36:01 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(gdb) set debug-file-directory ~/.guix-profile/lib/debug
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
2014-07-03 21:36:01 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
From there on, GDB will pick up debugging information from the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{.debug} files under @file{~/.guix-profile/lib/debug}.
|
2014-07-03 21:36:01 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
In addition, you will most likely want GDB to be able to show the source
|
|
|
|
|
code being debugged. To do that, you will have to unpack the source
|
|
|
|
|
code of the package of interest (obtained with @code{guix build
|
|
|
|
|
--source}, @pxref{Invoking guix build}), and to point GDB to that source
|
|
|
|
|
directory using the @code{directory} command (@pxref{Source Path,
|
|
|
|
|
@code{directory},, gdb, Debugging with GDB}).

@c XXX: keep me up-to-date
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{debug} output mechanism in Guix is implemented by the
|
|
|
|
|
@code{gnu-build-system} (@pxref{Build Systems}). Currently, it is
|
|
|
|
|
opt-in---debugging information is available only for those packages
|
|
|
|
|
whose definition explicitly declares a @code{debug} output. This may be
|
|
|
|
|
changed to opt-out in the future, if our build farm servers can handle
|
|
|
|
|
the load. To check whether a package has a @code{debug} output, use
|
|
|
|
|
@command{guix package --list-available} (@pxref{Invoking guix package}).

@cindex security updates
|
|
|
|
|
Occasionally, important security vulnerabilities are discovered in core
|
|
|
|
|
software packages and must be patched. Guix follows a functional
|
|
|
|
|
package management discipline (@pxref{Introduction}), which implies
|
|
|
|
|
that, when a package is changed, @emph{every package that depends on it}
|
|
|
|
|
must be rebuilt. This can significantly slow down the deployment of
|
|
|
|
|
fixes in core packages such as libc or Bash, since basically the whole
|
|
|
|
|
distribution would need to be rebuilt. Using pre-built binaries helps
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Substitutes}), but deployment may still take more time than
|
|
|
|
|
desired.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex grafts
|
|
|
|
|
To address that, Guix implements @dfn{grafts}, a mechanism that allows
|
|
|
|
|
for fast deployment of critical updates without the costs associated
|
|
|
|
|
with a whole-distribution rebuild. The idea is to rebuild only the
|
|
|
|
|
package that needs to be patched, and then to ``graft'' it onto packages
|
|
|
|
|
explicitly installed by the user and that were previously referring to
|
|
|
|
|
the original package. The cost of grafting is typically very low, and
|
|
|
|
|
order of magnitudes lower than a full rebuild of the dependency chain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex replacements of packages, for grafts
|
|
|
|
|
For instance, suppose a security update needs to be applied to Bash.
|
|
|
|
|
Guix developers will provide a package definition for the ``fixed''
|
|
|
|
|
Bash, say @var{bash-fixed}, in the usual way (@pxref{Defining
|
|
|
|
|
Packages}). Then, the original package definition is augmented with a
|
|
|
|
|
@code{replacement} field pointing to the package containing the bug fix:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
(define bash
|
|
|
|
|
(package
|
|
|
|
|
(name "bash")
|
|
|
|
|
;; @dots{}
|
|
|
|
|
(replacement bash-fixed)))
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From there on, any package depending directly or indirectly on Bash that
|
|
|
|
|
is installed will automatically be ``rewritten'' to refer to
|
|
|
|
|
@var{bash-fixed} instead of @var{bash}. This grafting process takes
|
|
|
|
|
time proportional to the size of the package, but expect less than a
|
|
|
|
|
minute for an ``average'' package on a recent machine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, the graft and the package it replaces (@var{bash-fixed} and
|
|
|
|
|
@var{bash} in the example above) must have the exact same @code{name}
|
|
|
|
|
and @code{version} fields. This restriction mostly comes from the fact
|
|
|
|
|
that grafting works by patching files, including binary files, directly.
|
|
|
|
|
Other restrictions may apply: for instance, when adding a graft to a
|
|
|
|
|
package providing a shared library, the original shared library and its
|
|
|
|
|
replacement must have the same @code{SONAME} and be binary-compatible.

From a programming viewpoint, the package definitions of the
|
|
|
|
|
GNU distribution are provided by Guile modules in the @code{(gnu packages
|
|
|
|
|
@dots{})} name space@footnote{Note that packages under the @code{(gnu
|
|
|
|
|
packages @dots{})} module name space are not necessarily ``GNU
|
|
|
|
|
packages''. This module naming scheme follows the usual Guile module
|
|
|
|
|
naming convention: @code{gnu} means that these modules are distributed
|
|
|
|
|
as part of the GNU system, and @code{packages} identifies modules that
|
|
|
|
|
define packages.} (@pxref{Modules, Guile modules,, guile, GNU Guile
|
|
|
|
|
Reference Manual}). For instance, the @code{(gnu packages emacs)}
|
|
|
|
|
module exports a variable named @code{emacs}, which is bound to a
|
|
|
|
|
@code{<package>} object (@pxref{Defining Packages}).

|
The @code{(gnu packages @dots{})} module name space is
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
automatically scanned for packages by the command-line tools. For
|
|
|
|
|
instance, when running @code{guix package -i emacs}, all the @code{(gnu
|
|
|
|
|
packages @dots{})} modules are scanned until one that exports a package
|
|
|
|
|
object whose name is @code{emacs} is found. This package search
|
|
|
|
|
facility is implemented in the @code{(gnu packages)} module.

name and module name must match. For instance, the @code{(my-packages

emacs)} module must be stored in a @file{my-packages/emacs.scm} file
|
|
|
|

relative to the load path specified with @option{--load-path} or

|
2014-09-24 09:26:30 +00:00
|
|
|
|
will not be visible by default. Thus, users can invoke commands such as
|
|
|
|

@command{guix package} and @command{guix build} have to be used with the
|
2015-05-22 14:20:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{-e} option so that they know where to find the package. Better

yet, they can use the

(@pxref{Invoking guix build, @code{--load-path}}), or define the

@code{GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH} environment variable. This environment

Free software packages are usually distributed in the form of
|
|
|
|
|
@dfn{source code tarballs}---typically @file{tar.gz} files that contain
|
|
|
|
|
all the source files. Adding a package to the distribution means
|
|
|
|
|
essentially two things: adding a @dfn{recipe} that describes how to
|
|
|
|
|
build the package, including a list of other packages required to build
|
2016-02-13 18:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
it, and adding @dfn{package metadata} along with that recipe, such as a
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
description and licensing information.
|
2014-07-11 21:01:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
In Guix all this information is embodied in @dfn{package definitions}.
|
|
|
|
|
Package definitions provide a high-level view of the package. They are
|
|
|
|
|
written using the syntax of the Scheme programming language; in fact,
|
|
|
|
|
for each package we define a variable bound to the package definition,
|
|
|
|
|
and export that variable from a module (@pxref{Package Modules}).
|
|
|
|
|
However, in-depth Scheme knowledge is @emph{not} a prerequisite for
|
|
|
|
|
creating packages. For more information on package definitions,
|
2014-11-17 17:57:46 +00:00

|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Once a package definition is in place, stored in a file in the Guix
|
|
|
|
|
source tree, it can be tested using the @command{guix build} command
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Invoking guix build}). For example, assuming the new package is
|
2015-05-23 13:55:08 +00:00
|
|
|
|
called @code{gnew}, you may run this command from the Guix build tree
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Running Guix Before It Is Installed}):
|
2014-07-11 21:01:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
./pre-inst-env guix build gnew --keep-failed
|
2014-07-11 21:01:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Using @code{--keep-failed} makes it easier to debug build failures since
|
|
|
|
|
it provides access to the failed build tree. Another useful
|
|
|
|
|
command-line option when debugging is @code{--log-file}, to access the
|
|
|
|
|
build log.

|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
If the package is unknown to the @command{guix} command, it may be that
|
|
|
|
|
the source file contains a syntax error, or lacks a @code{define-public}
|
|
|
|
|
clause to export the package variable. To figure it out, you may load
|
|
|
|
|
the module from Guile to get more information about the actual error:

The GNU operating system has been developed so that users can have
|
|
|
|
|
freedom in their computing. GNU is @dfn{free software}, meaning that
|
|
|
|
|
users have the @url{http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html,four
|
|
|
|
|
essential freedoms}: to run the program, to study and change the program
|
|
|
|
|
in source code form, to redistribute exact copies, and to distribute
|
|
|
|
|
modified versions. Packages found in the GNU distribution provide only
|
|
|
|
|
software that conveys these four freedoms.
|
2014-07-14 13:51:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
In addition, the GNU distribution follow the
|
|
|
|
|
@url{http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html,free
|
|
|
|
|
software distribution guidelines}. Among other things, these guidelines
|
|
|
|
|
reject non-free firmware, recommendations of non-free software, and
|
|
|
|
|
discuss ways to deal with trademarks and patents.

Some packages contain a small and optional subset that violates the
|
|
|
|
|
above guidelines, for instance because this subset is itself non-free
|
|
|
|
|
code. When that happens, the offending items are removed with
|
|
|
|
|
appropriate patches or code snippets in the package definition's
|
|
|
|
|
@code{origin} form (@pxref{Defining Packages}). That way, @code{guix
|
|
|
|
|
build --source} returns the ``freed'' source rather than the unmodified
|
|
|
|
|
upstream source.

A package has actually two names associated with it:
|
|
|
|
|
First, there is the name of the @emph{Scheme variable}, the one following
|
|
|
|
|
@code{define-public}. By this name, the package can be made known in the
|
|
|
|
|
Scheme code, for instance as input to another package. Second, there is
|
|
|
|
|
the string in the @code{name} field of a package definition. This name
|
|
|
|
|
is used by package management commands such as
|
|
|
|
|
@command{guix package} and @command{guix build}.

|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Both are usually the same and correspond to the lowercase conversion of
|
|
|
|
|
the project name chosen upstream, with underscores replaced with
|
|
|
|
|
hyphens. For instance, GNUnet is available as @code{gnunet}, and
|
|
|
|
|
SDL_net as @code{sdl-net}.

We do not add @code{lib} prefixes for library packages, unless these are

already part of the official project name. But @pxref{Python

We usually package only the latest version of a given free software
|
|
|
|
|
project. But sometimes, for instance for incompatible library versions,
|
|
|
|
|
two (or more) versions of the same package are needed. These require
|
|
|
|
|
different Scheme variable names. We use the name as defined
|
|
|
|
|
in @ref{Package Naming}
|
|
|
|
|
for the most recent version; previous versions use the same name, suffixed
|
|
|
|
|
by @code{-} and the smallest prefix of the version number that may
|
|
|
|
|
distinguish the two versions.

The name inside the package definition is the same for all versions of a
|
|
|
|
|
package and does not contain any version number.

For instance, the versions 2.24.20 and 3.9.12 of GTK+ may be packaged as follows:
|
2014-07-11 21:01:57 +00:00
|

@c See <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-01/msg00425.html>,
|
|
|
|
|
@c for a discussion of what follows.
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex version number, for VCS snapshots
|
|
|
|
|
Occasionally, we package snapshots of upstream's version control system
|
|
|
|
|
(VCS) instead of formal releases. This should remain exceptional,
|
|
|
|
|
because it is up to upstream developers to clarify what the stable
|
|
|
|
|
release is. Yet, it is sometimes necessary. So, what should we put in
|
|
|
|
|
the @code{version} field?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Clearly, we need to make the commit identifier of the VCS snapshot
|
|
|
|
|
visible in the version string, but we also need to make sure that the
|
|
|
|
|
version string is monotonically increasing so that @command{guix package
|
|
|
|
|
--upgrade} can determine which version is newer. Since commit
|
|
|
|
|
identifiers, notably with Git, are not monotonically increasing, we add
|
|
|
|
|
a revision number that we increase each time we upgrade to a newer
|
|
|
|
|
snapshot. The resulting version string looks like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
2.0.11-3.cabba9e
|
|
|
|
|
^ ^ ^
|
|
|
|
|
| | `-- upstream commit ID
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| `--- Guix package revision
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
latest upstream version
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is a good idea to strip commit identifiers in the @code{version}
|
|
|
|
|
field to, say, 7 digits. It avoids an aesthetic annoyance (assuming
|
|
|
|
|
aesthetics have a role to play here) as well as problems related to OS
|
|
|
|
|
limits such as the maximum shebang length (127 bytes for the Linux
|
|
|
|
|
kernel.) It is best to use the full commit identifiers in
|
|
|
|
|
@code{origin}s, though, to avoid ambiguities.

@subsection Synopses and Descriptions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As we have seen before, each package in GNU@tie{}Guix includes a
|
|
|
|
|
synopsis and a description (@pxref{Defining Packages}). Synopses and
|
|
|
|
|
descriptions are important: They are what @command{guix package
|
|
|
|
|
--search} searches, and a crucial piece of information to help users
|
|
|
|
|
determine whether a given package suits their needs. Consequently,
|
|
|
|
|
packagers should pay attention to what goes into them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Synopses must start with a capital letter and must not end with a
|
|
|
|
|
period. They must not start with ``a'' or ``the'', which usually does
|
|
|
|
|
not bring anything; for instance, prefer ``File-frobbing tool'' over ``A
|
|
|
|
|
tool that frobs files''. The synopsis should say what the package
|
|
|
|
|
is---e.g., ``Core GNU utilities (file, text, shell)''---or what it is
|
|
|
|
|
used for---e.g., the synopsis for GNU@tie{}grep is ``Print lines
|
|
|
|
|
matching a pattern''.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind that the synopsis must be meaningful for a very wide
|
|
|
|
|
audience. For example, ``Manipulate alignments in the SAM format''
|
|
|
|
|
might make sense for a seasoned bioinformatics researcher, but might be
|
|
|
|
|
fairly unhelpful or even misleading to a non-specialized audience. It
|
|
|
|
|
is a good idea to come up with a synopsis that gives an idea of the
|
|
|
|
|
application domain of the package. In this example, this might give
|
|
|
|
|
something like ``Manipulate nucleotide sequence alignments'', which
|
|
|
|
|
hopefully gives the user a better idea of whether this is what they are
|
|
|
|
|
looking for.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex Texinfo markup, in package descriptions
|
|
|
|
|
Descriptions should take between five and ten lines. Use full
|
|
|
|
|
sentences, and avoid using acronyms without first introducing them.
|
|
|
|
|
Descriptions can include Texinfo markup, which is useful to introduce
|
|
|
|
|
ornaments such as @code{@@code} or @code{@@dfn}, bullet lists, or
|
2015-09-26 23:18:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
hyperlinks (@pxref{Overview,,, texinfo, GNU Texinfo}). However you
|
|
|
|
|
should be careful when using some characters for example @samp{@@} and
|
|
|
|
|
curly braces which are the basic special characters in Texinfo
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Special Characters,,, texinfo, GNU Texinfo}). User interfaces
|
|
|
|
|
such as @command{guix package --show} take care of rendering it
|
|
|
|
|
appropriately.

|
|
|
|
|
@uref{http://translationproject.org/domain/guix-packages.html, at the
|
|
|
|
|
Translation Project} so that as many users as possible can read them in
|
|
|
|
|
their native language. User interfaces search them and display them in
|
|
|
|
|
the language specified by the current locale.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Translation is a lot of work so, as a packager, please pay even more
|
|
|
|
|
attention to your synopses and descriptions as every change may entail
|
2015-09-26 23:18:07 +00:00
|
|

|
additional work for translators. In order to help them, it is possible

We currently package Python 2 and Python 3, under the Scheme variable names
|
|
|
|
|
@code{python-2} and @code{python} as explained in @ref{Version Numbers}.
|
|
|
|

To avoid confusion and naming clashes with other programming languages, it

|
|
|
|
seems desirable that the name of a package for a Python module contains
|
|
|
|
|
the word @code{python}.

Some modules are compatible with only one version of Python, others with both.
|
|
|
|
|
If the package Foo compiles only with Python 3, we name it
|
|
|
|
|
@code{python-foo}; if it compiles only with Python 2, we name it
|
|
|
|
|
@code{python2-foo}. If it is compatible with both versions, we create two
|
|
|
|
|
packages with the corresponding names.

|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
If a project already contains the word @code{python}, we drop this;
|
|
|
|
|
for instance, the module python-dateutil is packaged under the names
|
|
|
|
|
@code{python-dateutil} and @code{python2-dateutil}.

replace all occurrences of @code{::} by dashes and prepend the prefix
|
|
|
|
|
@code{perl-}.
|
|
|
|
|
So the class @code{XML::Parser} becomes @code{perl-xml-parser}.
|
|
|
|
|
Modules containing several classes keep their lowercase upstream name and
|
|
|
|
|
are also prepended by @code{perl-}. Such modules tend to have the word
|
|
|
|
|
@code{perl} somewhere in their name, which gets dropped in favor of the
|
|
|
|
|
prefix. For instance, @code{libwww-perl} becomes @code{perl-libwww}.

@subsection Fonts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For fonts that are in general not installed by a user for typesetting
|
|
|
|
|
purposes, or that are distributed as part of a larger software package,
|
|
|
|
|
we rely on the general packaging rules for software; for instance, this
|
|
|
|
|
applies to the fonts delivered as part of the X.Org system or fonts that
|
|
|
|
|
are part of TeX Live.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To make it easier for a user to search for fonts, names for other packages
|
|
|
|
|
containing only fonts are constructed as follows, independently of the
|
|
|
|
|
upstream package name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The name of a package containing only one font family starts with
|
|
|
|
|
@code{font-}; it is followed by the foundry name and a dash @code{-}
|
|
|
|
|
if the foundry is known, and the font family name, in which spaces are
|
|
|
|
|
replaced by dashes (and as usual, all upper case letters are transformed
|
|
|
|
|
to lower case).
|
|
|
|
|
For example, the Gentium font family by SIL is packaged under the name
|
|
|
|
|
@code{font-sil-gentium}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For a package containing several font families, the name of the collection
|
|
|
|
|
is used in the place of the font family name.
|
|
|
|
|
For instance, the Liberation fonts consist of three families,
|
|
|
|
|
Liberation Sans, Liberation Serif and Liberation Mono.
|
|
|
|
|
These could be packaged separately under the names
|
|
|
|
|
@code{font-liberation-sans} and so on; but as they are distributed together
|
|
|
|
|
under a common name, we prefer to package them together as
|
|
|
|
|
@code{font-liberation}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the case where several formats of the same font family or font collection
|
|
|
|
|
are packaged separately, a short form of the format, prepended by a dash,
|
|
|
|
|
is added to the package name. We use @code{-ttf} for TrueType fonts,
|
2014-11-25 13:46:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
@code{-otf} for OpenType fonts and @code{-type1} for PostScript Type 1
|
2014-11-23 17:23:35 +00:00

Bootstrapping in our context refers to how the distribution gets built
|
|
|
|
|
``from nothing''. Remember that the build environment of a derivation
|
|
|
|
|
contains nothing but its declared inputs (@pxref{Introduction}). So
|
|
|
|
|
there's an obvious chicken-and-egg problem: how does the first package
|
|
|
|
|
get built? How does the first compiler get compiled? Note that this is
|
|
|
|
|
a question of interest only to the curious hacker, not to the regular
|
|
|
|
|
user, so you can shamelessly skip this section if you consider yourself
|
|
|
|
|
a ``regular user''.

@cindex bootstrap binaries
|
|
|
|
|
The GNU system is primarily made of C code, with libc at its core. The
|
|
|
|
|
GNU build system itself assumes the availability of a Bourne shell and
|
|
|
|
|
command-line tools provided by GNU Coreutils, Awk, Findutils, `sed', and
|
|
|
|
|
`grep'. Furthermore, build programs---programs that run
|
|
|
|
|
@code{./configure}, @code{make}, etc.---are written in Guile Scheme
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Derivations}). Consequently, to be able to build anything at
|
|
|
|
|
all, from scratch, Guix relies on pre-built binaries of Guile, GCC,
|
|
|
|
|
Binutils, libc, and the other packages mentioned above---the
|
|
|
|
|
@dfn{bootstrap binaries}.

|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
These bootstrap binaries are ``taken for granted'', though we can also
|
|
|
|
|
re-create them if needed (more on that later).

The figure above shows the very beginning of the dependency graph of the
|
|
|
|
|
distribution, corresponding to the package definitions of the @code{(gnu
|
2016-01-12 14:52:56 +00:00
|
|
|
|
packages bootstrap)} module. A similar figure can be generated with
|
|
|
|
|
@command{guix graph} (@pxref{Invoking guix graph}), along the lines of:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix graph -t derivation \
|
|
|
|
|
-e '(@@@@ (gnu packages bootstrap) %bootstrap-gcc)' \
|
|
|
|

| dot -Tps > t.ps

|
|
|
At this level of detail, things are
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
slightly complex. First, Guile itself consists of an ELF executable,
|
|
|
|
|
along with many source and compiled Scheme files that are dynamically
|
|
|
|
|
loaded when it runs. This gets stored in the @file{guile-2.0.7.tar.xz}
|
|
|
|
|
tarball shown in this graph. This tarball is part of Guix's ``source''
|
|
|
|
|
distribution, and gets inserted into the store with @code{add-to-store}
|
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{The Store}).
|
2014-04-08 23:20:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
But how do we write a derivation that unpacks this tarball and adds it
|
|
|
|
|
to the store? To solve this problem, the @code{guile-bootstrap-2.0.drv}
|
|
|
|
|
derivation---the first one that gets built---uses @code{bash} as its
|
|
|
|
|
builder, which runs @code{build-bootstrap-guile.sh}, which in turn calls
|
|
|
|
|
@code{tar} to unpack the tarball. Thus, @file{bash}, @file{tar},
|
|
|
|
|
@file{xz}, and @file{mkdir} are statically-linked binaries, also part of
|
|
|
|
|
the Guix source distribution, whose sole purpose is to allow the Guile
|
|
|
|
|
tarball to be unpacked.
|
2014-05-22 21:22:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Once @code{guile-bootstrap-2.0.drv} is built, we have a functioning
|
|
|
|
|
Guile that can be used to run subsequent build programs. Its first task
|
|
|
|
|
is to download tarballs containing the other pre-built binaries---this
|
|
|
|
|
is what the @code{.tar.xz.drv} derivations do. Guix modules such as
|
|
|
|
|
@code{ftp-client.scm} are used for this purpose. The
|
|
|
|
|
@code{module-import.drv} derivations import those modules in a directory
|
|
|
|
|
in the store, using the original layout. The
|
|
|
|
|
@code{module-import-compiled.drv} derivations compile those modules, and
|
|
|
|
|
write them in an output directory with the right layout. This
|
|
|
|
|
corresponds to the @code{#:modules} argument of
|
|
|
|
|
@code{build-expression->derivation} (@pxref{Derivations}).
|

|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Finally, the various tarballs are unpacked by the
|
|
|
|
|
derivations @code{gcc-bootstrap-0.drv}, @code{glibc-bootstrap-0.drv},
|
|
|
|
|
etc., at which point we have a working C tool chain.

2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|

Bootstrapping is complete when we have a full tool chain that does not
|
|
|
|
|
depend on the pre-built bootstrap tools discussed above. This
|
|
|
|
|
no-dependency requirement is verified by checking whether the files of
|
|
|
|
|
the final tool chain contain references to the @file{/gnu/store}
|
|
|
|
|
directories of the bootstrap inputs. The process that leads to this
|
|
|
|
|
``final'' tool chain is described by the package definitions found in
|
2014-11-27 20:26:40 +00:00
|
|
|
|
the @code{(gnu packages commencement)} module.

2016-01-12 14:52:56 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The @command{guix graph} command allows us to ``zoom out'' compared to
|
|
|
|
|
the graph above, by looking at the level of package objects instead of
|
|
|
|
|
individual derivations---remember that a package may translate to
|
|
|
|
|
several derivations, typically one derivation to download its source,
|
|
|
|
|
one to build the Guile modules it needs, and one to actually build the
|
|
|
|
|
package from source. The command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix graph -t bag \
|
|

|
-e '(@@@@ (gnu packages commencement)

|
|
|
|
library@footnote{You may notice the @code{glibc-intermediate} label,
|
|
|
|
|
suggesting that it is not @emph{quite} final, but as a good

approximation, we will consider it final.}, depicted below.

The first tool that gets built with the bootstrap binaries is
|
2016-01-12 14:52:56 +00:00
|
|
|
|
GNU@tie{}Make---noted @code{make-boot0} above---which is a prerequisite
|
|
|
|
|
for all the following packages. From there Findutils and Diffutils get
|
|
|
|
|
built.
|
2014-02-18 22:45:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Then come the first-stage Binutils and GCC, built as pseudo cross
|
|
|
|
|
tools---i.e., with @code{--target} equal to @code{--host}. They are
|
|
|
|
|
used to build libc. Thanks to this cross-build trick, this libc is
|
|
|
|
|
guaranteed not to hold any reference to the initial tool chain.
|
2013-12-09 23:23:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2016-01-12 14:52:56 +00:00
|
|
|
|
From there the final Binutils and GCC (not shown above) are built.
|
|
|
|
|
GCC uses @code{ld}
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
from the final Binutils, and links programs against the just-built libc.
|
|
|
|
|
This tool chain is used to build the other packages used by Guix and by
|
|
|
|
|
the GNU Build System: Guile, Bash, Coreutils, etc.
|
2013-12-09 23:23:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
And voilà! At this point we have the complete set of build tools that
|
|
|
|
|
the GNU Build System expects. These are in the @code{%final-inputs}
|
2014-08-28 17:58:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
variable of the @code{(gnu packages commencement)} module, and are
|
|
|
|
|
implicitly used by any package that uses @code{gnu-build-system}
|
2014-11-27 20:26:40 +00:00
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Build Systems, @code{gnu-build-system}}).

Because the final tool chain does not depend on the bootstrap binaries,
|
|
|
|
|
those rarely need to be updated. Nevertheless, it is useful to have an
|
|
|
|
|
automated way to produce them, should an update occur, and this is what

the @code{(gnu packages make-bootstrap)} module provides.

@section Porting to a New Platform
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As discussed above, the GNU distribution is self-contained, and
|
|
|
|
|
self-containment is achieved by relying on pre-built ``bootstrap
|
|
|
|
|
binaries'' (@pxref{Bootstrapping}). These binaries are specific to an
|
|
|
|
|
operating system kernel, CPU architecture, and application binary
|
|
|
|
|
interface (ABI). Thus, to port the distribution to a platform that is
|
|
|
|
|
not yet supported, one must build those bootstrap binaries, and update
|
|
|
|
|
the @code{(gnu packages bootstrap)} module to use them on that platform.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fortunately, Guix can @emph{cross compile} those bootstrap binaries.
|
|
|
|
|
When everything goes well, and assuming the GNU tool chain supports the
|
|
|
|
|
target platform, this can be as simple as running a command like this
|
|
|
|
|
one:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
|
guix build --target=armv5tel-linux-gnueabi bootstrap-tarballs
|
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-11-29 13:59:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
For this to work, the @code{glibc-dynamic-linker} procedure in
|
|
|
|
|
@code{(gnu packages bootstrap)} must be augmented to return the right
|
|
|
|
|
file name for libc's dynamic linker on that platform; likewise,
|
|
|
|
|
@code{system->linux-architecture} in @code{(gnu packages linux)} must be
|
|
|
|
|
taught about the new platform.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-16 09:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Once these are built, the @code{(gnu packages bootstrap)} module needs
|
2014-11-29 13:59:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
to be updated to refer to these binaries on the target platform. That
|
|
|
|
|
is, the hashes and URLs of the bootstrap tarballs for the new platform
|
|
|
|
|
must be added alongside those of the currently supported platforms. The
|
|
|
|
|
bootstrap Guile tarball is treated specially: it is expected to be
|
|
|
|
|
available locally, and @file{gnu-system.am} has rules do download it for
|
|
|

the supported architectures; a rule for the new platform must be added

as well.

In practice, there may be some complications. First, it may be that the
|
|
|
|
|
extended GNU triplet that specifies an ABI (like the @code{eabi} suffix
|
|
|
|
|
above) is not recognized by all the GNU tools. Typically, glibc
|
|
|
|
|
recognizes some of these, whereas GCC uses an extra @code{--with-abi}
|
|
|
|
|
configure flag (see @code{gcc.scm} for examples of how to handle this).
|
|
|
|
|
Second, some of the required packages could fail to build for that
|
|
|
|
|
platform. Lastly, the generated binaries could be broken for some
|
|
|
|
|
reason.

Guix is based on the @uref{http://nixos.org/nix/, Nix package manager},
|
|
|
|
|
which was designed and
|
2014-11-13 22:30:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
implemented by Eelco Dolstra, with contributions from other people (see
|
|
|
|
|
the @file{nix/AUTHORS} file in Guix.) Nix pioneered functional package
|

|
|
|
|
management, and promoted unprecedented features, such as transactional
|
|
|
|
|
package upgrades and rollbacks, per-user profiles, and referentially
|
|
|
|
|
transparent build processes. Without this work, Guix would not exist.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Nix-based software distributions, Nixpkgs and NixOS, have also been
|
|
|
|
|
an inspiration for Guix.

GNU@tie{}Guix itself is a collective work with contributions from a
|
|
|
|
|
number of people. See the @file{AUTHORS} file in Guix for more
|
|
|
|
|
information on these fine people. The @file{THANKS} file lists people
|
|
|
|
|
who have helped by reporting bugs, taking care of the infrastructure,
|
|
|
|
|
providing artwork and themes, making suggestions, and more---thank you!
