2020-10-08offload: Improve load normalization and configurability.Maxim Cournoyer
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43773>. The computed normalized load was previously obtained by dividing the load average as found in /proc/loadavg by the number of parallel builds defined for a build machine. This normalized load didn't allow to compare machines with different number of cores, as the load average reported by /proc/loadavg can be as high as the number of cores; thus comparing that value to a fixed threshold of 2.0 would mean machines with multiple cores were more likely to be flagged as overloaded compared to single core machines. This can be fixed by normalizing using the available number of cores instead of the number of parallel jobs. * guix/scripts/offload.scm (<build-machine>)[overload-threshold]: New field. (node-load): Modify to return a normalized load value between 0 and 1, taking into account the number of cores available. (normalized-load): Remove procedure. (report-load): New procedure.

2020-09-27packages: 'package-input-rewriting' has a #:deep? parameter.Ludovic Courtès
* guix/packages.scm (package-input-rewriting): Add #:deep? and pass it to 'package-mapping'. [replacement-property]: New variable. [rewrite]: Check it. [cut?]: New procedure. * tests/packages.scm ("package-input-rewriting"): Pass #:deep? #f and ensure implicit inputs were not rewritten. Avoid 'eq?' comparisons. ("package-input-rewriting, deep"): New test. * gnu/packages/guile.scm (package-for-guile-2.0, package-for-guile-3.0): Pass #:deep? #f.
2020-09-27packages: 'package-input-rewriting/spec' can rewrite implicit dependencies.Ludovic Courtès
With this change, '--with-input', '--with-graft', etc. also apply to implicit dependencies. Thus, it's now possible to do: guix build python-itsdangerous --with-input=python-wrapper=python@2 or: guix build hello --with-graft=glibc=glibc@2.29 Additionally, before, implicit inputs were not rewritten, which could lead to duplicates in the output of 'bag-transitive-inputs' (packages that are not 'eq?' but lead to the same derivation). This in turn would lead to unnecessary rebuilds when using '--with-input' & co. This change fixes it by ensuring even implicit inputs are rewritten. Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/42156>. * guix/packages.scm (package-input-rewriting/spec): Add #:deep? defaulting to #true, and pass it to 'package-mapping'. [replacement-property]: New variable. [rewrite]: Check that property and set it on the result of PROC. [cut?]: New procedure. * tests/packages.scm ("package-input-rewriting/spec"): Ensure implicit inputs were unchanged. ("package-input-rewriting/spec, partial match"): Pass #:deep? #f. ("package-input-rewriting/spec, deep") ("package-input-rewriting/spec, no duplicates"): New tests. (package/inherit): Move before use. * tests/guix-build.sh: Add tests. * tests/scripts-build.scm ("options->transformation, with-graft"): Compare dependencies by package name or derivation file name. * doc/guix.texi (Defining Packages): Adjust accordingly.
2020-09-27packages: 'package-mapping' can recurse on implicit inputs.Ludovic Courtès
