build-aux: Disable file port name canonicalization in a few places.

2026-03-11T15:31:06Z

I'm assuming this doesn't have any meaningful effect, and it seems to reduce the number of readlink calls by a lot. * build-aux/build-self.scm (build-program): Set %file-port-name-canonicalization to #f. (build): Ditto. * build-aux/compile-as-derivation.scm: Ditto. Change-Id: If43415c46c3911e84c76d1a9828b9c417a140a1b

build-self: Setup buffering for the store socket.

2026-03-11T15:31:06Z

In the case where port->connection is used, since this doesn't setup buffering. * build-aux/build-self.scm (build-program): Setup buffering for the store socket. Change-Id: I822bb628e92d1070e78a2ad9e95665ca2ff4a351

build-aux/build-self: Fix incorrect message error output.

2026-02-26T00:19:17Z

* build-aux/build-self.scm (build): Remove 'by email' mention. Fixes: Change-Id: I7aaa4160ccfae80266316ce1db1531a7289a5044

build-self: Remove 2018-era replacement for ‘make-config.scm’.

2025-09-11T20:32:24Z

* build-aux/build-self.scm (%persona-variables, %config-variables) (make-config.scm): Remove. Use (guix self) instead. Change-Id: I8ebf531d0a953d5f34ce58556c2fe0623064209f

build-self: Remove 2018-era compatibility shim for ‘gexp->script’.

2025-09-11T20:32:10Z

* build-aux/build-self.scm (load-path-expression, gexp->script): Remove. Change-Id: I956e2b8461c1a3ab719f923aef857efc03ebb174

build-self: Remove 2018-era fallback for guile-gcrypt.

2025-09-11T20:31:59Z

* build-aux/build-self.scm (guile-gcrypt): Remove fallback case for when the host Guix lacks ‘guile-gcrypt’. Change-Id: I840333a72a45f8582bb26271d41e3fadf1c59f3e

guix: channels: Enable specifiying available builtin builders.

2024-07-18T10:18:29Z

When computing channel instance derivations. This is useful when you want to generate compatible derivations that can be run with a daemon that potentially doesn't support builtin builders that the daemon you're using to generate the derivations has. I'm looking at this in particular because I want to use this in the data service, since it provides substitutes for derivations, and since these can be built on other machines, it's useful to control which builtin builders they depend on. Fixes: . * build-aux/build-self.scm (build-program): Accept #:built-in-builders and pass along to port->connection or open-connection as approriate. (build): Accept and pass on #:built-in-builders. * guix/channels.scm (build-from-source, build-channel-instance, channel-instance-derivations, channel-instances->manifest, channel-instances->derivation): Accept and pass on #:built-in-builders. Change-Id: I315c990de66c6f7dca25a859165a5568abe385ea

build-self: Help users to submit useful bug reports.

2021-11-26T23:49:53Z

* build-aux/build-self.scm (build): Request the ‘COMPLETE output’.

download: Use Disarchive as a last resort.

2021-04-29T15:24:48Z

This is a fixed version of 66b14dccdd0d83c875ce3a8d50ceab8b6f0a3ce2, which was reverted in e74250c3c535b75dd2225a26df51febb7ed94654. * guix/download.scm (%disarchive-mirrors): New variable. (%disarchive-mirror-file): New variable. (built-in-download): Add 'disarchive-mirrors' keyword argument and pass its value along to the 'builtin:download' derivation. (url-fetch): Pass '%disarchive-mirror-file' to 'built-in-download'. * guix/scripts/perform-download.scm (perform-download): Read Disarchive mirrors from the environment and pass them to 'url-fetch'. * guix/build/download.scm (disarchive-fetch/any): New procedure. (url-fetch): Add 'disarchive-mirrors' keyword argument, use it to make a list of URIs, and use the new procedure to fetch the file if all other methods fail. * build-aux/build-self.scm (build-program)[select?]: Exclude '(guix build download)'. * guix/self.scm (compiled-guix)[*core-modules*]: Add 'guile-json' to the list of extensions.

build-self: Take care of the spinner in the parent process.

2021-04-01T12:58:55Z

This simplifies code and mostly ensures we don't print a spinner while there's build activity going on. * build-aux/build-self.scm (build-program): Remove 'spin' and 'call-with-new-thread' call from "compute-guix-derivation" body. Remove "Computing Guix derivation" message. (proxy): Pass extra argument to 'select'. Display a spinner when 'select' returns empty lists. (build): Print "Computing Guix derivation" message here.
