README

        
Update 2021 Mar 25

------------------

Vagrant Cascadian worked on getting a current version of

guix into Debian proper.

The packaging is in `https://github.com/detrout/debian-guix`_

guix for Debian

---------------

The Guix daemon requires a reasonable amount of setup before it'll work

correctly so I thought I'd package it.

However since Guix includes several bootstrap binaries it's unlikely that this

package can go into Debian figuring out how to build the bootstrap binaries

from source using Debian tools.

Usage

-----

To use this repository checkout it out /debian.  You'll also need

to a copy of the source tarball in /..

There's two ways to end up with a usable source tree, either using a guix git

clone or extracting a tarball. If you use a git clone, you'll still need to

check out a branch that corresponds to a release tarball, due to how Debian

source trees work.

If you do this instead of mkdir guix, cd guix, also skip the tar xavf step.

.. code:: bash

   git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/guix.git

   cd guix

   git tag -l

   git checkout -b  v

.. code:: bash

    mkdir guix

    cd guix

    git clone https://github.com/detrout/debian-guix.git debian

    export GUIX_VERSION=$(dpkg-parsechangelog -S Version | cut -f 1 -d -)

    uscan --download-current-version

    tar xavf ../guix_${GUIX_VERSION}.orig.tar.gz --strip-components=1

Once you have a guix source tree unpacked and ready then you need to add the

packaging scripts, build dependencies, and start building.

.. code:: bash

    sudo apt-get install build-essential dh-autoreconf dh-systemd autotools-dev graphviz guile-2.0-dev guile-json help2man libgcrypt20-dev libsqlite3-dev libbz2-dev texinfo

    dpkg-buildpackage

    sudo dpkg -i ../guix_${GUIX_VERSION}-1_amd64.deb ../emacs-guix_${GUIX_VERSION}-1_all.deb

The post install script sets up the guixbuild users however you probably

want to authorize Guix's build server hydra.gnu.org

You can do that with

.. code:: bash

    sudo guix archive --authorize < /usr/share/guix/hydra.gnu.org.pub

Using this package with guix git clones

---------------------------------------

Once you have the guix package installed you may want to

modify or add new guix packages.

The following recipe will clones the guix repository, and configures the

checkout. ``dh_auto_configure`` is a convientent shortcut to set several

configure arguments especially --localstatedir=/var

Setting localstatedir is needed to find the guix-daemon socked and package

database.

Making the ~/.config/guix/latest symlink point to your checkout

allows guix to find your changes to official packaging repositories.

.. code:: bash

    cd 

    git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/guix.git

    cd guix

    ./bootstrap

    dh_auto_configure

    make	  

    mkdir ~/.config/guix

    cd ~/.config/guix

    ln -s /guix latest

You can also use GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH to point to other directories

where you have your own packages defined. 

(However pointing GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH to the guix checkout causes trouble)
