Ideally, extend .nix-cache-info to include the server's public key, and also reply to requests for .narinfo.sig. Optionally, use Guile-Avahi to publish the service. * MAYBE Add a substituter that uses the GNUnet DHT or [[http://libswift.org][libswift]] Would be neat if binaries could be pushed to and pulled from the GNUnet DHT or rather libswift (since DHTs aren’t suited for large payloads). Guix users would sign their binaries, and define which binaries they trust. Use UPnP and similar to traverse NAT, like ‘filegive’ does. * user interface ** add guile-ncurses interface * extend ** add ‘recommends’ field For instance, glibc, binutils, gcc, and ld-wrapper would recommend each other. ‘guix package -i’ could ask interactively (?), or allow users to follow all or none of the recommendations. ** add a ‘user-environment-hook’ This should specify builder code to be run when building a user environment with ‘guix-package’. For instance, Texinfo’s hook would create a new ‘dir’. ** extend ‘propagated-build-inputs’ with support for multiple outputs #+BEGIN_SRC scheme (outputs '("out" "include")) (propagated-build-inputs `(((("i1" ,p1 "o1") ("i2" ,p2)) => "include") ("i3" ,p3))) #+END_SRC * synchronize non-GNU package descriptions with the [[http://directory.fsf.org][FSD]] Meta-data for GNU packages, including descriptions and synopses, can be dumped from the FSD: http://directory.fsf.org/wiki?title=GNU/Export&action=purge . We could periodically synchronize with that. * add a guildhall build system The Guildhall is Guile’s packaging system. It should be easy to add a ‘guildhall-build-system’ that does the right thing based on guildhall recipes. * union Support sophisticated collision handling when building a union: honor per-package priorities, etc. * add GUIX_ALLOW_EXPENSIVE_TESTS Tests that need to download stuff or otherwise take a long time would only be run when that is defined. * add "guix challenge" Would download a substitute, and compare its contents against a (hopefully locally-built) copy. * guix build utils ** MAYBE Change ‘ld-wrapper’ to add RPATH for libs passed by file name ** MAYBE Add equivalent to chrpath that uses [[https://gitorious.org/guile-dlhacks/guile-dlhacks/][guile-dlhacks]] ** MAYBE Add a hash-rewriting thing for deep dependency replacement without rebuild See [[https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/d1662d715514e6ef9d3dc29f132f1b3d8e608a18][Shea Levy's `replace-dependency' in Nixpkgs]]. * distro ** port to GNU/Hurd, aka. ‘i686-gnu’ Problems include that current glibc releases do not build on GNU/Hurd. In addition, there haven’t been stable releases of GNU Mach, MiG, and Hurd, which would be a pre-condition. ise test to confirm limits on login. (%test-pam-limits)[description]: Update. (%test-pam-limits-deprecated): Remove. Signed-off-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org> Felix Lechner 2023-05-06tests: Add missing module imports for marionette-evaluated code....This missing imports became apparent with commit a09c7da8f8d8e732f969cf0a09aaa78f87032ab1, which runs the marionette service in a fresh Guile process with fewer imports. * gnu/tests/databases.scm (run-postgresql-test, run-timescaledb-test) (run-mysql-test): Add missing module imports for code passed to 'marionette-eval'. * gnu/tests/docker.scm (run-docker-test, run-docker-system-test): Likewise. * gnu/tests/mail.scm (run-dovecot-test, run-getmail-test): Likewise. * gnu/tests/monitoring.scm (run-zabbix-server-test): Likewise. * gnu/tests/pam.scm (run-test-pam-limits): Likewise. * gnu/tests/reconfigure.scm (run-switch-to-system-test) (run-install-bootloader-test): Likewise. * gnu/tests/security-token.scm (run-pcscd-test): Likewise. * gnu/tests/install.scm (gui-test-program): Likewise. * gnu/tests/telephony.scm (run-jami-test): Add modules to the #:imported-modules argument of 'marionette-operating-system'. [test]: Remove them from 'with-imported-modules'; remove 'with-extensions'. Add "d-bus tooling loaded" test to set up %load-path and %load-compiled-path so the marionette process can find guile-ac-d-bus and guile-packrat.
