| 13 | * Changes in 0.9.0 (since 0.8.3) |
| 14 | |
| 15 | ** Package management |
| 16 | |
| 17 | *** New ‘guix graph’ command, to draw package graphs |
| 18 | *** New ‘guix challenge’ command, to challenge the authenticity of binaries |
| 19 | *** ‘guix environment’ has a new ‘--container’ option |
| 20 | *** ‘guix substitute’ now honors all the specified substitute URLs |
| 21 | *** New ‘guix import cran’ command, to import R packages from CRAN |
| 22 | *** Package descriptions can now include Texinfo markup rendered on the fly |
| 23 | *** ‘guix package’ has a new ‘--install-from-file’ option |
| 24 | *** ‘guix package --search’ shows package outputs |
| 25 | *** ‘guix refresh’ can refresh selected non-GNU package definitions |
| 26 | *** The ‘--ad-hoc’ option of ‘guix environment’ is now positional |
| 27 | *** The ‘--exec’ option of ‘guix environment’ is deprecated; use ‘--’ instead |
| 28 | *** ‘guix build’ has a new ‘--file’ option |
| 29 | *** ‘guix build --log-file’ can now return URLs |
| 30 | *** ‘guix size’ now has a ‘--substitute-urls’ option and is much faster |

| 35 | |
| 36 | ** Distribution |
| 37 | |
| 38 | *** New extensible service composition API |
| 39 | |
| 40 | The operating system service API in (gnu services) has been completely |
| 41 | rewritten, significantly improving extensibility and modularity, while |
| 42 | providing a framework that makes it easy to reason about service composition. |
| 43 | Consequently, several sources of redundancy and confusion in |
| 44 | ‘operating-system’ declarations have been eliminated. See “Service |
| 45 | Composition” in the manual. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | *** New ‘extension-graph’ and ‘dmd-graph’ sub-commands for ‘guix system’ |
| 48 | *** New ‘container’ sub-command for ‘guix system’ |

| 51 | *** ‘operating-system’ has a new ‘locale-libcs’ field |
| 52 | *** New services: ‘nginx-service’, ‘udisks-service’, ‘guix-publish-service’ |
| 53 | *** ‘%desktop-services’ now includes Polkit, GeoClue, elogind, UDisks, and more |
| 54 | *** ‘dbus-daemon’ now has proper support for lazy service activation |
| 55 | *** ‘wicd-service’ automatically adds Wicd to the system profile |
| 56 | *** ‘slim-service’ automatically adds xterm to the system profile |
| 57 | *** hydra.gnu.org now provides substitutes for ‘armhf-linux’ |
| 58 | *** /run/systemd is mounted as tmpfs by default, for use by elogind |
| 59 | *** ‘glibc’ package no longer contains Bash in its bin/ directory |
| 60 | *** libc now looks for locale data in a versioned sub-directory |
| 61 | *** libc honors the new ‘GUIX_LOCPATH’ environment variable |
| 62 | *** Xfce now defaults to the GNOME icon theme |
| 63 | *** 543 new packages |

| 391 | *** New ‘clone’, ‘setns’, and ‘pivot_root’ bindings in (guix build syscalls) |
| 392 | *** New ‘dependencies’ field in <file-system> |
| 393 | *** New #:gem-flags parameter for ‘ruby-build-system’ |
| 394 | |
| 395 | *** monads: ‘foldm’, ‘mapm’, and ‘anym’ now take a list of regular values |
| 396 | *** monads: Allow n-ary ‘>>=’ expressions |
| 397 | ** Noteworthy bug fixes |
| 398 | |
| 399 | *** Binary installation tarball now has files root-owned, with zeroed mtime |
| 400 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/21101>) |
| 401 | *** GRUB background image is always available (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20591>) |
| 402 | *** ‘guix system’ catches references to non-existent user groups |
| 403 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20646>) |
| 404 | *** Ignore trailing components for ‘guix gc -d’ (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19757>) |
| 405 | *** ‘guix lint’ warns only when all the URIs are unreachable |
| 406 | *** ‘guix system init’ overwrites the items in the target store |
| 407 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20722>) |
| 408 | *** ‘guix-register’ performs deduplication even when --prefix is passed |
| 409 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19044>) |
| 410 | *** The ‘location’ of packages is no longer preserved by ‘inherit’ |
| 411 | *** GuixSD installation image has udev rules for device-mapper |
| 412 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20791>) |
| 413 | *** Daemon distinguishes between “substitutable” and “offloadable” derivations |
| 414 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18747>) |
| 415 | *** Avoid infinite loop in ‘guix substitute’ |
| 416 | *** ‘guix environment’ now returns the exit code of its command |

| 437 | |
| 438 | See “Invoking guix publish” in the manual. |

| 441 | |
| 442 | It creates X.509 certificate bundles in the profile’s etc/ssl directory, if |
| 443 | needed, generates a package database cache for GHC if the profile includes GHC |
| 444 | (the Haskell compiler), and generates an Info ‘dir’ file (this part was |
| 445 | already done before.) |

| 454 | |
| 455 | *** Substitute information is now fetched using HTTP pipelining |
| 456 | |
| 457 | Before that the “substituter” used threads. Using HTTP pipelining means that |
| 458 | resource consumption is reduced on both the client and server sides. As a |
| 459 | side effect, a progress report is displayed as substitute info is downloaded. |
| 460 | |
| 461 | *** ‘guix package’ warns when a $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH module cannot be loaded |
| 462 | |
| 463 | *** New ‘--sources’ option to ‘guix build’ |
| 464 | |
| 465 | *** New Bash completion file, installed in $sysconfdir/bash_completion.d |

| 478 | |
| 479 | ** Distribution |
| 480 | |
| 481 | *** C library's name service switch (NSS) is now fully configurable |

| 486 | |
| 487 | *** Xorg service supports new drivers, such as Nouveau |
| 488 | |
| 489 | *** lsh service has new options, initializes its seed by default |
| 490 | |
| 491 | *** /etc/ssl symlink is created, for X.509 certificates |
| 492 | |
| 493 | See “X.509 Certificates” in the manual. |
| 494 | |
| 495 | *** ‘guix system’ reports duplicate service identifiers |
| 496 | |
| 497 | *** New /etc/bashrc file that loads Bash completion when available |
| 498 | |
| 499 | *** SLiM service uses sessions from /run/current-system/profile/share/xsessions |
| 500 | |
| 501 | See “X Window” in the manual. |
| 502 | |
| 503 | *** The Linux “YAMA” restricting policy on PTRACE_ATTACH is now disabled |
| 504 | |
| 505 | *** /etc/shells now lists all the user accounts’ shells |
| 506 | |
| 507 | *** /gnu/store is now remounted read-only, to avoid accidental modification |

| 733 | ** Programming interfaces |
| 734 | |
| 735 | *** New (guix build gremlin) to parse and validate ELF dynamic link info |
| 736 | |
| 737 | *** (guix build-system gnu) has a new ‘validate-runpath’ phase |
| 738 | |
| 739 | This phase reads the dynamic entries of ELF files and reports libraries listed |
| 740 | as NEEDED that are not found in the RUNPATH. |
| 741 | |
| 742 | *** New (gnu services desktop) module and ‘%desktop-services’ variable |
| 743 | |
| 744 | *** New (guix cvs-download) module, for CVS checkouts |
| 745 | |
| 746 | *** New (guix build-system waf) module, for the Waf build system |
| 747 | |
| 748 | *** New (guix build-system haskell) module, to build Haskell packages |
| 749 | |
| 750 | *** (guix build-system gnu) now supports zip archives |
| 751 | |
| 752 | *** New convenience syntax ‘modify-phases’ added in (guix build utils) |
| 753 | |
| 754 | *** The ‘ld’ wrapper more finely determines whether to use ‘-rpath’ |
| 755 | |
| 756 | *** (guix gexp) exports ‘gexp-input’ to describe input unambiguously |
| 757 | |
| 758 | *** The ‘define-gexp-compiler’ form allows (guix gexp) to be extended |
| 759 | |
| 760 | *** New ‘local-file’ constructor exported by (guix gexp) |
| 761 | |
| 762 | ** Noteworthy bug fixes |
| 763 | |
| 764 | *** Profiles created with ‘guix package -p’ as indirect GC roots |
| 765 | |
| 766 | Before that they were made permanent GC roots–i.e., uncollectable. |
| 767 | |
| 768 | *** ‘guix package’ distinguishes downgrades from upgrades |
| 769 | |
| 770 | *** Handle HTTP redirects to relative URI references |
| 771 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19840>) |
| 772 | |
| 773 | *** Downloads now honor the ‘http_proxy’ environment variable |
| 774 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20402>) |
| 775 | |
| 776 | *** ‘--no-*’ options are now always correctly handled |
| 777 | (<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-02/msg00702.html>) |
| 778 | |
| 779 | *** SLiM no longer leaks open file descriptors |
| 780 | |
| 781 | *** Don't compare <pam-service> objects with 'equal?' |
| 782 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20037>) |
| 783 | |
| 784 | *** x86_64 and i686 bootstrap binaries updated (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19780>) |
| 785 | |
| 786 | *** ‘find-files’ no longer follows symlinks (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20081>) |
| 787 | |
| 788 | *** libc message catalog (‘libc.mo’) is now installed |
| 789 | |
| 790 | *** libstdc++ has appropriate RUNPATH (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20358>) |
| 791 | |
| 792 | *** ‘dhcp-client-service’ now correctly tracks dhclient’s PID |
| 793 | |
| 794 | ** Native language support |
| 795 | |
| 796 | *** New translations: da (Danish) |
| 797 | |
| 798 | *** Updated translations: eo |
| 799 | |
| 800 | * Changes in 0.8.1 (since 0.8) |
| 801 | |
| 802 | ** Package management |
| 803 | |
| 804 | *** New ‘--share’ and ‘--expose’ options for ‘guix system vm’ |
| 805 | |
| 806 | See “Invoking guix system” in the manual. |
| 807 | |
| 808 | *** Emacs mode now automatically loads newly installed Emacs packages |
| 809 | |
| 810 | See “Emacs Initial Setup” in the manual. |
| 811 | |
| 812 | *** ‘guix-daemon’ now defaults to ‘--cores=0 --jobs=1’ |
| 813 | |
| 814 | In other words, at any given time, only one derivation is being built or |
| 815 | substituted, and it can use as many cores as available. Before, there could |
| 816 | be N derivations using N cores, which was obviously not desirable. |
| 817 | |
| 818 | *** Command-line tools support the ‘GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS’ environment variable |
| 819 | |
| 820 | See “Invoking guix build” in the manual. |
| 821 | |
| 822 | *** ‘guix environment’ is faster |
| 823 | |
| 824 | *** New ‘--recursive’ option for ‘guix archive’ |
| 825 | |
| 826 | See “Invoking guix archive” in the manual. |
| 827 | |
| 828 | *** Missing patches required by a package definition are gracefully reported |
| 829 | |
| 830 | *** ‘guix lint’ supports additional checkers |
| 831 | |
| 832 | The new checkers are ‘gnu-description’, ‘home-page’, and ‘source’. |
| 833 | See “Invoking guix lint” in the manual. |
| 834 | |
| 835 | *** New CPAN importer for ‘guix import’ |
| 836 | |
| 837 | See “Invoking guix import” in the manual. |
| 838 | |
| 839 | ** Distribution |
| 840 | |
| 841 | *** USB installation image has more tools |
| 842 | |
| 843 | Tools added since 0.8: wpa_supplicant, cryptsetup, and iw. |
| 844 | |
| 845 | *** Linux kernel module dependencies are automatically handled |
| 846 | |
| 847 | Before that, all the modules needed in the initrd would need to be explicitly |
| 848 | listed, including their dependencies, and in topological order. |
| 849 | |
| 850 | *** Font packages now all have a name starting with ‘font-’ |
| 851 | |
| 852 | See “Fonts” in the manual. |
| 853 | |
| 854 | *** Shell startup files have been cleaned up |
| 855 | |
| 856 | /etc/profile contains only environment variable definitions, which may also be |
| 857 | used when running a different shell. The skeletons for user’s ‘.bash_profile’ |
| 858 | and ‘.bashrc’ files behave as documented in the Bash manual. Zsh is supported. |
| 859 | |
| 860 | *** The ‘root’ account gets a copy of the account skeleton files |
| 861 | |
| 862 | Before that, the skeleton files would only be copied to non-root accounts. |
| 863 | |
| 864 | *** The name service cache daemon (nscd) is configurable |
| 865 | |
| 866 | By default it aggressively caches host and service lookups. See “Base |
| 867 | Services” in the manual. |
| 868 | |
| 869 | *** Available locale definitions are now declared in ‘operating-system’ |
| 870 | |
| 871 | Before, the ‘glibc’ package would contain all the existing locales, as well as |
| 872 | the ‘locale-archive’ file, amounting to 110 MiB. See “Locales” in the manual. |
| 873 | |
| 874 | *** SLiM sessions are configurable |
| 875 | |
| 876 | Pressing F1 in the SLiM graphical log-in screen allows users to choose among |
| 877 | the pre-configured session types. See “X Window” in the manual. |
| 878 | |
| 879 | *** Man pages and Info files are systematically gzip-compressed |
| 880 | |
| 881 | *** ‘gnu-build-system’ ensures that documentation is in share/{man,info} |
| 882 | |
| 883 | If a package installs to $prefix/{man,info}, this is automatically fixed to be |
| 884 | $prefix/share/{man,info}. |
| 885 | |
| 886 | *** ‘strip’ is invoked only on ELF files and ‘ar’ archives |
| 887 | |
| 888 | *** ‘libtool’ and ‘libltdl’ are now separate packages |
| 889 | |
| 890 | *** Emacs mode is readily usable on the Guix System Distribution |
| 891 | |
| 892 | *** Substitutes are now enabled by default on freshly installed systems |
| 893 | *** 164 new packages |

| 982 | |
| 983 | ** Programming interfaces |
| 984 | |
| 985 | *** New (guix elf) and (gnu build linux-modules) modules |
| 986 | |
| 987 | These provide resolution of Linux kernel module dependencies. See |
| 988 | <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2014-11/msg00670.html>. |
| 989 | |
| 990 | *** ‘glib-or-gtk-build-system’ has been extended |
| 991 | |
| 992 | It now handles GIO and XDG themes, takes care of generating the icon cache, |
| 993 | and has a new #:glib-or-gtk-wrap-excluded-outputs parameter. |
| 994 | |
| 995 | *** ‘search-path-specification’ can now specify non-directory items |
| 996 | |
| 997 | For example, the ‘search-path-specification’ attached to libxml2 specifies a |
| 998 | file pattern, which allows all the ‘catalog.xml’ files to be added to the |
| 999 | ‘XML_CATALOG_FILES’ environment variable. |
| 1000 | |
| 1001 | *** (guix build syscalls) has more network-related procedures |
| 1002 | |
| 1003 | ‘set-network-interface-flags’, ‘set-network-interface-address’, |
| 1004 | ‘network-interface-address’, and ‘configure-network-interface’ are ioctl |
| 1005 | bindings used by network-handling dmd services. |
| 1006 | |
| 1007 | *** (guix monads) refactoring |
| 1008 | |
| 1009 | ‘%store-monad’ is now in (guix store) and is an alias for the new |
| 1010 | ‘%state-monad’ provided by (guix monads). Monadic procedures dealing with the |
| 1011 | store, with derivations, and with packages have been moved from (guix monads) |
| 1012 | to (guix store), (guix derivations), and (guix packages). See “The Store |
| 1013 | Monad” in the manual. |
| 1014 | |
| 1015 | *** (guix build utils) provides ‘parallel-job-count’ |
| 1016 | |
| 1017 | *** ‘wrap-program’ preserves the original argv[0] |
| 1018 | |
| 1019 | *** New (guix sets) module |
| 1020 | |
| 1021 | *** ‘define-record-type*’ now support “delayed” fields |
| 1022 | |
| 1023 | ** Noteworthy bug fixes |
| 1024 | |
| 1025 | *** X session is executed from a login shell (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19119>) |
| 1026 | *** grub.cfg is now a garbage-collector root (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19160>) |
| 1027 | *** Substituter progress report properly formatted |
| 1028 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19313>) |
| 1029 | *** Document permissions for /gnu/store (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19316>) |
| 1030 | *** Make sure config.go is newer than config.scm |
| 1031 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19317>) |
| 1032 | *** Emacs knows where to find its GLib schemas (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19138>) |
| 1033 | *** Adjust 'grub.cfg' to work on systems with a separate /boot |
| 1034 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19220>) |
| 1035 | *** Fix removal of next-to-last item in a profile |
| 1036 | (<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2014-12/msg00292.html>) |
| 1037 | *** Apply patches with "patch --force" (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19402>) |
| 1038 | *** Extend ‘search-path-specification’ for libxml2-style use cases |
| 1039 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18033>) |
| 1040 | *** Search for patches under $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19364>) |
| 1041 | *** Use executables from the target inputs in 'patch-shebangs' |
| 1042 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18895>) |
| 1043 | *** guix-daemon now automatically creates '…/profiles/per-user' |
| 1044 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19315>) |
| 1045 | *** Make /etc/mtab a symlink to /proc/self/mounts |
| 1046 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19491>) |
| 1047 | *** Don't build the mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 cross-compiler on i686 |
| 1048 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19598>) |
| 1049 | *** Read archive signatures as Latin-1 strings (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19610>) |
| 1050 | *** Raise an error for references to non-existent outputs |
| 1051 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19630>) |
| 1052 | *** Initialize libgcrypt before use (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19677>) |
| 1053 | |
| 1054 | ** Native language support |
| 1055 | |
| 1056 | *** New translations: fr (French), hu (Hungarian) |
| 1057 | *** Updated translation: eo, vi |
| 1058 | |
| 1059 | * Changes in 0.8 (since 0.7) |
| 1060 | |
| 1061 | ** Package management |
| 1062 | |
| 1063 | *** New visual user interface in Emacs |
| 1064 | |
| 1065 | See “Emacs Interface” in the manual. |
| 1066 | |
| 1067 | *** New ‘guix environment’ command to produce development environment |
| 1068 | |
| 1069 | See “Invoking guix environment” in the manual. |
| 1070 | |
| 1071 | *** The ‘guix import’ command has been extended and documented |
| 1072 | |
| 1073 | It can now import packages from pypi.python.org and from GNU. |
| 1074 | See “Invoking guix import” in the manual. |
| 1075 | |
| 1076 | *** New ‘guix lint’ command, for use by Guix developers |
| 1077 | |
| 1078 | See “Invoking guix lint” in the manual. |
| 1079 | |
| 1080 | *** Packages can now be “grafted” with replacements of their dependencies |
| 1081 | |
| 1082 | See “Security Updates” in the manual. |
| 1083 | |
| 1084 | *** The distribution can be extended with ‘--load-path’ or $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH |
| 1085 | |
| 1086 | This allows users to maintain their own package definitions, and make them |
| 1087 | visible to the various user interfaces. See “Package Modules” in the manual. |
| 1088 | |
| 1089 | *** ‘guix package’ better reports package upgrades |
| 1090 | |
| 1091 | *** ‘guix package’ has a new ‘--switch-generation’ option |
| 1092 | |
| 1093 | See “Invoking guix package” in the manual. |
| 1094 | |
| 1095 | *** ‘guix-daemon’ has a new ‘--substitute-urls’ option |
| 1096 | |
| 1097 | See “Invoking guix-daemon” in the manual. |
| 1098 | |
| 1099 | ** Distribution |
| 1100 | |
| 1101 | *** The stand-alone operating system now supports Linux mapped devices |
| 1102 | |
| 1103 | See “Mapped Devices” in the manual. |
| 1104 | |
| 1105 | *** New fields in ‘operating-system’ declarations, better documentation |
| 1106 | |
| 1107 | New fields include ‘hosts-file’, ‘mapped-devices’, and ‘swap-devices’. |
| 1108 | See “operating-system Reference” in the manual. |
| 1109 | |
| 1110 | *** New services: ‘dhcp-client-service’, ‘bitlbee-service’, ‘ntp-service’ |
| 1111 | |
| 1112 | See “Services” in the manual. |
| 1113 | |
| 1114 | *** Free firmware can be loaded |
| 1115 | |
| 1116 | This notably enables support for some Atheros-based WiFi devices (ath9k-htc.) |
| 1117 | See “operating-system Reference” in the manual. |
| 1118 | |
| 1119 | *** ‘grub-configuration’ declarations can now specify a theme |
| 1120 | |
| 1121 | See “GRUB Configuration” in the manual. |
| 1122 | |
| 1123 | *** The ‘base-initrd’ now has a different signature |
| 1124 | |
| 1125 | Existing uses in ‘operating-system’ declarations need to be updated. See |
| 1126 | “Initial RAM Disk” in the manual for details. |
| 1127 | |
| 1128 | *** eudev is now used by default, instead of an old udev release |
| 1129 | |
| 1130 | *** ‘guix system vm’ has a new ‘--full-boot’ option |
| 1131 | |
| 1132 | See “Invoking guix system” in the manual. |
| 1133 | |
| 1134 | *** The ‘file’ command is now part of the package build environment |
| 1135 | |
| 1136 | Autoconf-generated ‘configure’ scripts for packages using Libtool use ‘file’ |
| 1137 | to determine the target ABI, notably on MIPS, hence this change. |
| 1138 | |

| 1200 | |
| 1201 | ** Programming interfaces |
| 1202 | |
| 1203 | *** New ‘ruby-build-system’, for Ruby packages |
| 1204 | |
| 1205 | See “Build Systems” in the manual. |
| 1206 | |
| 1207 | *** New ‘glib-or-gtk-build-system’, for packages using GLib schemas |
| 1208 | |
| 1209 | See “Build Systems” in the manual. |
| 1210 | |
| 1211 | *** ‘gnu-build-system’ has a new #:substitutable? parameter |
| 1212 | |
| 1213 | This allows packagers to mark a package as requiring a local build, thus |
| 1214 | preventing it from being substituted by a pre-built binary. |
| 1215 | |
| 1216 | *** ‘cmake-build-system’ has a new #:build-type parameter |
| 1217 | |
| 1218 | See “Build Systems” in the manual. |
| 1219 | |
| 1220 | *** The ‘supported-systems’ field of packages is used more consistently |
| 1221 | |
| 1222 | This allows packagers to prevent attempts to build a package on a given |
| 1223 | architecture when that architecture is known not to be supported. The |
| 1224 | ‘package-transitive-supported-systems’ procedure returns the intersection of |
| 1225 | the systems supported by the given package and by its dependencies. |
| 1226 | |
| 1227 | *** The ‘wrap-program’ procedure can now be called multiple times |
| 1228 | |
| 1229 | *** New ‘graft-derivations’ and ‘package-grafts’ procedures |
| 1230 | |
| 1231 | They implement “grafts”, as described under “Security Updates” in the manual. |
| 1232 | |
| 1233 | *** New “bag” intermediate representation for use by build systems |
| 1234 | |
| 1235 | “Bags” are used internally as an intermediate representation between packages |
| 1236 | and derivations. See “Build Systems” in the manual. |
| 1237 | |
| 1238 | *** New (guix monad-repl) module, for monadic interaction at the REPL |
| 1239 | |
| 1240 | See “The Store Monad” in the manual. |
| 1241 | |
| 1242 | *** New (guix build emacs-utils) module, to facilitate building Emacs packages |
| 1243 | |
| 1244 | *** New (guix tests) module, with tools used by the test suite |
| 1245 | |
| 1246 | *** The internal ‘guix-register’ command now deduplicates files in store items |
| 1247 | |
| 1248 | *** Several system modules moved from (guix build …) to (gnu build …) |
| 1249 | |
| 1250 | Also, the (gnu build linux-boot) module has been introduced, with code |
| 1251 | typically used by initial RAM disks when booting on GNU/Linux-libre. |
| 1252 | |
| 1253 | *** (guix profiles) provides a representation of package transactions |
| 1254 | |
| 1255 | This factorizes code between ‘guix package’ and the Emacs user interface. |
| 1256 | |
| 1257 | *** Bootstrapping packages moved to (gnu packages commencement) modules |
| 1258 | |
| 1259 | ** Bugs fixed |
| 1260 | |
| 1261 | *** ‘guix-daemon’ now really deduplicates store items by default |
| 1262 | |
| 1263 | Deduplication means that identical files found in /gnu/store are stored only |
| 1264 | once, using hard links. This feature was wrongfully disabled, and is now |
| 1265 | enabled by default. The former ‘--disable-store-optimization’ option has been |
| 1266 | renamed to ‘--disable-deduplication’. |
| 1267 | |
| 1268 | *** ‘guix-daemon’ no longer uses ‘vfork’ |
| 1269 | |
| 1270 | This could cause problems with ancient Linux kernel. |
| 1271 | |
| 1272 | *** Fixed compilation of ‘gccgo’ (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18101>) |
| 1273 | *** 'make clean' doesn't delete os-config.tmpl (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18243>) |
| 1274 | *** Fix handling of periods by fill-paragraph (<http://bugs.gnu.org/17468>) |
| 1275 | *** Produce a top-level Info 'dir' file (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18305>) |
| 1276 | *** guix offload ignores unreachable machines (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18070>) |
| 1277 | *** guix offload: Ignore EEXIST when registering a .drv as a GC root |
| 1278 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18115>) |
| 1279 | *** perl-tk: Build sequentially (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18262>) |
| 1280 | *** download: Use the 'SERVER NAME' TLS extension when possible |
| 1281 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18526>) |
| 1282 | *** libdaemon: Add alternate source URLs (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18639>) |
| 1283 | *** icu4c: Reinstate RUNPATH on shared libraries |
| 1284 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18695>) |
| 1285 | *** nss-mdns: Add alternate source URLs (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18704>) |
| 1286 | *** download: Add "Accept: */*" to the HTTP headers |
| 1287 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18768>) |
| 1288 | *** guix-register: Do not attempt to create NIX_STORE_DIR |
| 1289 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18689>) |
| 1290 | *** Allow Linux-libre to find our 'modprobe' command |
| 1291 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18525>) |
| 1292 | *** man-pages: Build sequentially (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18701>) |
| 1293 | *** Fix intermittent test failures involving GC (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18935>) |
| 1294 | *** guix import: pypi: Gracefully handle non-existent packages |
| 1295 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18831>) |
| 1296 | *** Make sure the shared library has the '.so' extension |
| 1297 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18521>) |
| 1298 | *** pull: Use the build procedure provided by the newly-downloaded Guix. |
| 1299 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18534>) |
| 1300 | *** WindowMaker no longer pollutes $PATH (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18698>) |
| 1301 | |
| 1302 | ** Native language support |
| 1303 | *** New translation: cs (Czech) |
| 1304 | *** Updated translations: de, sr, vi |
| 1305 | |
| 1306 | * Changes in 0.7 (since 0.6) |
| 1307 | ** Package management |
| 1308 | *** Binaries for mips64el-linux now available from hydra.gnu.org |
| 1309 | |
| 1310 | These come in addition to the x86_64-linux and i686-linux binaries already |
| 1311 | provided, thanks to our generous donor and friendly admins. See |
| 1312 | “Substitutes” in the manual. |
| 1313 | |
| 1314 | *** ‘guix package’ has a new ‘--show’ option |
| 1315 | *** ‘guix refresh’ has a new ‘--list-dependent’ option |
| 1316 | |
| 1317 | ** Programming interfaces |
| 1318 | *** New (guix gexp) module, which implements “G-expressions” |
| 1319 | |
| 1320 | G-expressions are a new mechanism to embed build-side code in host-side |
| 1321 | code. See “G-Expressions” in the manual. |
| 1322 | |
| 1323 | *** (gnu system) and related modules now use G-expressions |
| 1324 | |
| 1325 | This greatly simplifies code, and guarantees that build code carries |
| 1326 | references to the packages or derivations it uses. |
| 1327 | |
| 1328 | *** ‘build-expression->derivation’ is deprecated in favor of G-expressions |
| 1329 | *** The (gnu system) module has been largely augmented and factorized |
| 1330 | *** New (guix build vm) module, support for virtual machine images |
| 1331 | *** New (guix build activation) module, for “system activation” |
| 1332 | *** New (guix build syscalls) module |
| 1333 | *** New (guix build install) and module for whole system installation |
| 1334 | *** New (gnu system install) module, for the installation system |
| 1335 | *** New (gnu system file-systems) module, for ‘file-system’ declarations |
| 1336 | *** New (gnu) module, which aggregates common (gnu …) modules |
| 1337 | *** ‘service’ records now have an optional ‘activate’ field |
| 1338 | |
| 1339 | This allows services to specify code to run at system activation time. |
| 1340 | |
| 1341 | ** GNU distribution |
| 1342 | *** An image to install the GNU system from a USB stick is provided |
| 1343 | |
| 1344 | This is the first time an installation image is provided. See “System |
| 1345 | Installation” in the manual for details. This is work in progress as noted |
| 1346 | in “Limitations”. Your feedback and help are welcome! |
| 1347 | |
| 1348 | *** Support for more parameters in ‘operating-system’ declarations |
| 1349 | |
| 1350 | Operating system declarations can now provide a list of file systems, a list |
| 1351 | of setuid programs, bootloader options, and more. See “System Configuration” |
| 1352 | in the manual. |
| 1353 | |
| 1354 | *** ‘guix system’ supports more actions |
| 1355 | |
| 1356 | Newly supported actions are ‘init’, ‘build’, ‘reconfigure’, and ‘disk-image’. |
| 1357 | See “Invoking guix system” in the manual. |
| 1358 | |
| 1359 | *** User accounts and groups are created at system activation time |
| 1360 | *** Virtual machine support uses para-virtualized devices |
| 1361 | *** GCC package now has an additional ‘lib’ output, for run-time support libs |
| 1362 | *** GLib package now has a separate “bin” output (<http://bugs.gnu.org/17853>) |

| 1421 | * Changes in 0.6 (since 0.5) |
| 1422 | ** Package management |
| 1423 | *** Default store directory changed to /gnu/store |
| 1424 | |
| 1425 | Although it is still possible to configure Guix to use the old store |
| 1426 | directory, we recommend that you start with a fresh install to /gnu/store. |
| 1427 | |
| 1428 | *** Substitutes from hydra.gnu.org must now be signed and authorized |
| 1429 | *** Support for offloading builds to other Guix machines over SSH |

| 1490 | *** Packages that populated man/man* now populate share/man/man* |
| 1491 | *** Many other packaging improvements |
| 1492 | ** Bugs fixed |
| 1493 | *** ‘guix pull’ consumes less memory, compiles in parallel |
| 1494 | *** ‘guix package --list-*’ gracefully handles EPIPE when used in a pipeline |
| 1495 | *** ‘guix package’ handles collisions between a symlink and a directory |
| 1496 | (http://bugs.gnu.org/17083) |
| 1497 | *** HTTP downloads provide a ‘User-Agent’ field (http://bugs.gnu.org/16703) |
| 1498 | *** ‘guix package’ no longer shows misleading installed package number |
| 1499 | (http://bugs.gnu.org/16484) |
| 1500 | *** Manual suggests ‘useradd --system’ (http://bugs.gnu.org/16289) |
| 1501 | *** Python is built with ctypes support (http://bugs.gnu.org/16569) |
| 1502 | *** HTTP/TLS connection not terminated properly (http://bugs.gnu.org/14884) |
| 1503 | *** Gracefully handle poorly behaved HTTP servers (http://bugs.gnu.org/15733) |
| 1504 | |
| 1505 | * Changes in 0.5 (since 0.4) |
| 1506 | ** Package management |
| 1507 | *** GNU package descriptions synchronized with the ‘gnumaint’ repository |
| 1508 | |
| 1509 | In addition to synopses, descriptions of GNU packages are now kept in sync |
| 1510 | with the ‘gnumaint’ repository, which is the canonical place for GNU package |
| 1511 | meta-data. |
| 1512 | |
| 1513 | ** Programming interfaces |
| 1514 | *** Patches are now listed as part of ‘origin’ |
| 1515 | |
| 1516 | The ‘origin’ form supports two new fields: ‘patches’ (list of patches), and |
| 1517 | ‘snippet’ (code snippet to modify the source.) These are applied when running |
| 1518 | ‘guix build --source’. See “Defining Packages” in the manual. |
| 1519 | |
| 1520 | *** New (guix monads) monadic interface to operate on the store |
| 1521 | |
| 1522 | See “The Store Monad” in the manual. The (gnu system …) modules have been |
| 1523 | rewritten to use this monadic interface. |
| 1524 | |
| 1525 | *** New (guix profiles) module |
| 1526 | |
| 1527 | It provides an API for dealing with profiles, as with the ‘guix package’ |
| 1528 | command. |
| 1529 | |
| 1530 | *** New (gnu system) module |
| 1531 | |
| 1532 | This module provides a generic way to describe the system’s configuration, |
| 1533 | and to instantiate it, regardless of the final medium (QEMU image, etc.) |
| 1534 | See “System Configuration” in the manual. |
| 1535 | |
| 1536 | This is work in progress. Send feedback to [email protected]! |
| 1537 | |
| 1538 | *** ‘build-expression->derivation’ uses more parameters |
| 1539 | |
| 1540 | Some positional parameters have been changed to keyword parameters. |
| 1541 | See “Derivations” in the manual. |
| 1542 | |
| 1543 | ** GNU distribution |
| 1544 | *** New port to the Loongson MIPS64 processors, n32 ABI (‘mips64el-linux’) |
| 1545 | |
| 1546 | Bootstrap binaries have been built for that architecture, and several |
| 1547 | Loongson-specific patches not yet available upstream have been applied to core |
| 1548 | packages. See “GNU Distribution” and “Porting” in the manual. |
| 1549 | |
| 1550 | Pre-built binaries are not yet available via hydra.gnu.org, so Guix will |
| 1551 | build from source on this platform. |
| 1552 | |

| 1588 | |
| 1589 | ** Native language support |
| 1590 | *** New ‘sr’ (Serbian) translation |
| 1591 | *** New ‘vi’ (Vietnamese) translation |
| 1592 | *** Updated ‘pt_BR’ (Brazilian Portuguese) translation |
| 1593 | ** Bugs fixed |
| 1594 | *** ‘guix pull’ compiles Guix deterministically and correctly |
| 1595 | |
| 1596 | Previously, the build environment was not cleared in between ‘compile-file’ |
| 1597 | calls, leading to build errors due to Guile bug http://bugs.gnu.org/15602 . |
| 1598 | |
| 1599 | *** ‘guix package’ allows removal of a specific package output |
| 1600 | (http://bugs.gnu.org/15756) |
| 1601 | *** ‘guix-daemon’ always sets umask to 022 |
| 1602 | (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2013-07/msg00033.html) |
| 1603 | *** Files referenced by environment variables are protected from GC |
| 1604 | *** Yet unbuilt packages get correctly installed (http://bugs.gnu.org/15283) |
| 1605 | *** ‘bootstrap-graph.{png,eps,pdf}’ built in srcdir (http://bugs.gnu.org/15640) |
| 1606 | |
| 1607 | * Changes in 0.4 (since 0.3) |
| 1608 | |
| 1609 | ** Package management |
| 1610 | |
| 1611 | *** New ‘--list-generations’ and ‘--delete-generations’ options |
| 1612 | |
| 1613 | The ‘guix package’ command has these two new options, which make it easier to |
| 1614 | deal with a profile’s generation. See “Invoking guix package” in the manual. |
| 1615 | |
| 1616 | *** New ‘guix-register’ program |
| 1617 | |
| 1618 | This program allows the meta-data of a new store to be initialized, by |
| 1619 | copying info from an existing store. It is mostly an internal tool. |
| 1620 | |
| 1621 | ** Programming interfaces |
| 1622 | |
| 1623 | *** New API to bootstrap Autotools-based packages |
| 1624 | |
| 1625 | The (guix build-system gnu) has a new ‘dist-package’ procedure that takes a |
| 1626 | package object and source directory, and returns a new package object that |
| 1627 | runs ‘./bootstrap && make dist’ or anything similar. |
| 1628 | |
| 1629 | *** ‘derivation’ and related procedures have a #:references-graphs parameter |
| 1630 | |
| 1631 | This parameter instructs the build daemon to populate the derivation’s build |
| 1632 | tree with files containing the list of references of the given store files. |
| 1633 | This is useful to write code that copies a packages and all its dependencies |
| 1634 | to another storage device, such as a QEMU disk image. |
| 1635 | |
| 1636 | *** Extended API to build a GNU system virtual machine image |
| 1637 | |
| 1638 | The (gnu system vm) module has been augmented in many ways: the ‘qemu-image’ |
| 1639 | procedure can now populate and initialize the image’s store; the new |
| 1640 | ‘system-qemu-image’ procedure returns a QEMU image that runs dmd as its init |
| 1641 | system, has ‘login’ running on several consoles, has a set of installed |
| 1642 | packages, and where Guix can be used. |
| 1643 | |
| 1644 | New (gnu system …) modules have been added to handle the configuration of the |
| 1645 | various parts of a GNU/Linux system. For instance, (gnu system dmd) provides |
| 1646 | support for instantiating dmd services; (gnu system linux) helps with Linux |
| 1647 | PAM configuration; and so on. |
| 1648 | |
| 1649 | *** <derivation> objects supersede .drv file names in the API |
| 1650 | |
| 1651 | ‘derivation’ and similar procedures no longer return two values (a |
| 1652 | <derivation> and a .drv file name); they now return a single value, which is |
| 1653 | a <derivation> object. The <derivation> object embeds the corresponding .drv |
| 1654 | file name. See “Derivations” in the manual for details. |
| 1655 | |
| 1656 | ** GNU distribution |

| 1679 | |
| 1680 | *** Fontconfig font search path made more convenient |
| 1681 | |
| 1682 | Fontconfig, the library used by many graphical applications, such as those |
| 1683 | based on GTK+, now knows where to find the default set of fonts. Additional |
| 1684 | fonts installed in the user profile are automatically picked up. |
| 1685 | |
| 1686 | *** More GUI applications |
| 1687 | |
| 1688 | The ‘emacs’ and ‘racket’ packages are now linked against GTK+. New GTK+ |
| 1689 | applications have been added (see above.) |
| 1690 | |
| 1691 | *** Packaging guidelines |
| 1692 | |
| 1693 | The documentation of packaging guidelines has been augmented. See the manual |
| 1694 | under “GNU Distribution”. |
| 1695 | |
| 1696 | *** Support for Python 3 along with Python 2 |
| 1697 | |
| 1698 | Python 3 has been added to the distribution, and Python packages that support |
| 1699 | it are now built for both Python 2 and Python 3. See the “Python Modules” |
| 1700 | section of the manual for details. |
| 1701 | |
| 1702 | ** Internationalization |
| 1703 | |
| 1704 | Updated translations: eo. |
| 1705 | |
| 1706 | ** Bugs fixed |
| 1707 | |
| 1708 | *** Workarounds for Guile 2.0.5 now work on Debian derivatives |
| 1709 | *** The dependency graph image has correct size in PDF output |
| 1710 | *** 'ldd' now works correctly on x86_64 |
| 1711 | *** Xorg server test suite no longer fails (http://bugs.gnu.org/15392) |
| 1712 | *** module-init-tools now builds (http://bugs.gnu.org/15182, http://bugs.gnu.org/15187) |
| 1713 | *** Hop 2.4 builds with newer Bigloo (http://bugs.gnu.org/15194) |
| 1714 | |
| 1715 | * Changes in 0.3 (since 0.2) |
| 1716 | |
| 1717 | ** Package management |
| 1718 | |
| 1719 | *** Cross-compilation support |
| 1720 | |
| 1721 | Guix can now cross-build packages. On the command-line, this is achieved with |
| 1722 | the new ‘--target’ command-line option of ‘guix build’. At the Scheme level, |
| 1723 | the guts of this is the ‘package-cross-derivation’ procedure. Core packages |
| 1724 | of the distribution can already be cross-compiled. See the manual for |
| 1725 | details. |
| 1726 | |
| 1727 | *** New ‘--max-silent-time’ option for “guix build” and “guix package” |
| 1728 | |
| 1729 | See the manual for details. |
| 1730 | |
| 1731 | *** New ‘--fallback’ option for “guix build” and “guix package” |
| 1732 | |
| 1733 | This option instructs to fall back to local builds when the substituter fails |
| 1734 | to download a substitute. |
| 1735 | |
| 1736 | *** New ‘--requisites’ option for “guix gc” |
| 1737 | |
| 1738 | See the manual for details. |
| 1739 | |
| 1740 | *** New ‘--key-download’ option for “guix refresh” |
| 1741 | |
| 1742 | See the manual for details. |
| 1743 | |
| 1744 | ** Programming interfaces |
| 1745 | |
| 1746 | *** New ‘package-cross-derivation’ procedure in (guix derivations) |
| 1747 | |
| 1748 | See the manual for details. |
| 1749 | |
| 1750 | *** New ‘%current-target-system’ SRFI-39 parameter |
| 1751 | |
| 1752 | This parameter is like ‘%current-system’, but for cross-compilation. It |
| 1753 | allows code in package definitions (such as in the ‘arguments’ field) to know |
| 1754 | whether it is being cross-compiled, and what the target system is. |
| 1755 | |
| 1756 | *** New (guix hash) module; new ‘open-sha256-port’ and ‘sha256-port’ procedures |
| 1757 | |
| 1758 | This improves performance of SHA256 computations. |
| 1759 | |
| 1760 | |
| 1761 | ** GNU distribution |
| 1762 | |
| 1763 | *** 33 new packages |
| 1764 | |
| 1765 | alsa-lib, babel, cairo, cvs, gcal, gcc-cross-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64, gd, |
| 1766 | gdk-pixbuf, graphviz, grue-hunter, gtk+, gts, harfbuzz, imagemagick, iproute2, |
| 1767 | iptables, libspectre, mpg321, noweb, pango, plotutils, privoxy, pytz, racket, |
| 1768 | rubber, rush, strace, tk, torsocks, unrtf, vc-dwim, wordnet, xlockmore |
| 1769 | |
| 1770 | *** 25 package updates |
| 1771 | |
| 1772 | automake 1.14, ed 1.9, freeipmi 1.2.8, gawk 4.1.0, gcc 4.8.1, gettext 0.18.3, |
| 1773 | glib 2.37.1, gmp 5.1.2, gnutls 3.2.1, gzip 1.6, help2man 1.43.3, libapr 1.4.8, |
| 1774 | libaprutil 1.5.2, libassuan 2.1.1, libffi 3.0.13, libgc 7.2d, libgpg-error |
| 1775 | 1.12, libidn 1.28, libpng 1.5.17, lout 3.40, lsh 2.1, nettle 2.7.1, qemu |
| 1776 | 1.5.1, tzdata 2013d, xorriso 1.3.0 |
| 1777 | |
| 1778 | *** Binary packages now available for i686-linux |
| 1779 | |
| 1780 | The build farm at http://hydra.gnu.org now provides 32-bit GNU/Linux binaries |
| 1781 | (i686-linux), in addition to the x86_64-linux binaries. Both can be |
| 1782 | transparently used as substitutes for local builds on these platforms. |
| 1783 | |
| 1784 | *** Debug info packages |
| 1785 | |
| 1786 | Some packages now have a “debug” output containing debugging information. The |
| 1787 | “debug” output can be used by GDB, and can be installed separately from the |
| 1788 | other outputs of the package. See “Installing Debugging Files” in the manual. |
| 1789 | |
| 1790 | *** Bootstrap binaries can be cross-compiled |
| 1791 | |
| 1792 | The distribution can now be ported to new architectures (currently |
| 1793 | GNU/Linux-only) by cross-compiling the “bootstrap binaries”. See “Porting” |
| 1794 | in the manual. |
| 1795 | |
| 1796 | *** Bootstrapping documented |
| 1797 | |
| 1798 | See “Bootstrapping” in the manual, for information on how the GNU |
| 1799 | distribution builds “from scratch”. |
| 1800 | |
| 1801 | ** Internationalization |
| 1802 | |
| 1803 | New translations: eo, pt_BR. |
| 1804 | |
| 1805 | ** Bugs fixed |
| 1806 | *** “guix --help” now works when using Guile 2.0.5 |
| 1807 | *** Binary substituter multi-threading and pipe issues fixed |
| 1808 | |
| 1809 | These could lead to random substituter crashes while substituting a binary. |
| 1810 | See commits 0332386 and 101d9f3 for details. |
| 1811 | |
| 1812 | *** Binary substituter gracefully handles lack of network connectivity |
| 1813 | |
| 1814 | *** Daemon properly handles rebuilds of multiple-output derivations |
| 1815 | |
| 1816 | Previously it would fail when rebuilding a multiple-output derivation when |
| 1817 | some (but not all) of its outputs were already present. See |
| 1818 | http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2013-06/msg00038.html and |
| 1819 | https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/122 . |
| 1820 | |
| 1821 | *** ‘guix package -i foo:out’ no longer removes other outputs of ‘foo’ |
| 1822 | |
| 1823 | Previously only the ‘out’ output of package ‘foo’ would be kept in the |
| 1824 | profile. |
| 1825 | |
| 1826 | *** Replacement (srfi srfi-37) provided if the user’s one is broken |
| 1827 | |
| 1828 | When the user’s (srfi srfi-37) is affected by http://bugs.gnu.org/13176 (Guile |
| 1829 | < 2.0.9), a replacement with the bug fix is provided. This bug would affect |
| 1830 | command-line argument processing in some cases. |
| 1831 | |
| 1832 | * Changes in 0.2 (since 0.1) |
| 1833 | |
| 1834 | ** Package management |
| 1835 | |
| 1836 | *** Guix commands are now sub-commands of the “guix” program |
| 1837 | |
| 1838 | Instead of typing “guix-package”, one now has to type “guix package”, and so |
| 1839 | on. This has allowed us to homogenize the user interface and initial program |
| 1840 | setup, and to allow commands to be upgradable through “guix pull”. |
| 1841 | |
| 1842 | *** New “guix package --upgrade” option |
| 1843 | |
| 1844 | As the name implies, this option atomically upgrades all the packages |
| 1845 | installed in a profile or the set of packages matching a given regexp. |
| 1846 | See “Invoking guix package” in the manual. |
| 1847 | |
| 1848 | *** New “guix package --search” option |
| 1849 | |
| 1850 | Performs a full text search in package synopses and descriptions, and returns |
| 1851 | the matching packages in recutils format. See “Invoking guix package” in the |
| 1852 | manual, for details. |
| 1853 | |
| 1854 | *** New “guix pull” command |
| 1855 | |
| 1856 | The command pulls the latest version of Guix–both the package management |
| 1857 | modules and the distribution. See the manual for details. |
| 1858 | |
| 1859 | *** New binary substituter |
| 1860 | |
| 1861 | The “substituter” mechanism allows pre-built binaries to be transparently |
| 1862 | downloaded instead of performing a build locally. Currently binaries are |
| 1863 | available for x86_64 Linux-based GNU systems from http://hydra.gnu.org. The |
| 1864 | distribution is continuously built and binaries are made available from there. |
| 1865 | |
| 1866 | See http://hydra.gnu.org/jobset/gnu/master under “Job status” for the list of |
| 1867 | available binary packages. |
| 1868 | |
| 1869 | *** New “guix refresh” command |
| 1870 | |
| 1871 | The command is used by Guix maintainers. It automatically updates the |
| 1872 | distribution to the latest upstream releases of GNU software. |
| 1873 | |
| 1874 | *** New “guix hash” command |
| 1875 | |
| 1876 | Convenience command to compute the hash of a file. See the manual for |
| 1877 | details. |
| 1878 | |
| 1879 | *** Nix daemon code updated |
| 1880 | |
| 1881 | The daemon code from Nix, used by the ‘guix-daemon’ command, has been updated |
| 1882 | to current Nix ‘master’. |
| 1883 | |
| 1884 | ** Programming interfaces |
| 1885 | |
| 1886 | *** (guix download) now supports HTTPS, using GnuTLS |
| 1887 | |
| 1888 | It allows package source tarballs to be retrieved over HTTPS. |
| 1889 | |
| 1890 | *** New ‘native-search-path’ and ‘search-path’ package fields |
| 1891 | |
| 1892 | Packages can define in their ‘native-search-path’ field environment variables |
| 1893 | that define search paths and need to be set for proper functioning of the |
| 1894 | package. For instance, GCC has ‘CPATH’ and ‘LIBRARY_PATH’ in its |
| 1895 | ‘native-search-path’, Perl has ‘PERL5LIB’, Python has ‘PYTHONPATH’, etc. |
| 1896 | These environment variables are automatically set when building a package that |
| 1897 | uses one of these. |
| 1898 | |
| 1899 | *** Package inputs can be a function of the target system type |
| 1900 | |
| 1901 | The ‘inputs’ field of a package can now be conditional on the value of |
| 1902 | (%current-system). This is useful for packages that take system-dependent |
| 1903 | tarballs as inputs, such as GNU/MIT Scheme. |
| 1904 | |
| 1905 | *** New build systems |
| 1906 | |
| 1907 | The ‘perl-build-system’, ‘python-build-system’, and ‘cmake-build-system’ have |
| 1908 | been added. They implement the standard build systems for Perl, Python, and |
| 1909 | CMake packages. |
| 1910 | |
| 1911 | *** Tools to build Linux initrds, QEMU images, and more |
| 1912 | |
| 1913 | The (gnu packages linux-initrd) module provides a procedure to build a Linux |
| 1914 | initrd (“initial RAM disk”). The initrd embeds Guile, which is used to |
| 1915 | evaluate the given expression. The example below returns an initrd that |
| 1916 | mounts the /proc file system and starts a REPL: |
| 1917 | |
| 1918 | (expression->initrd |
| 1919 | '(begin |
| 1920 | (mkdir "/proc") |
| 1921 | (mount "none" "/proc" "proc") |
| 1922 | ((@ (system repl repl) start-repl)))) |
| 1923 | |
| 1924 | More examples in the linux-initrd.scm file. |
| 1925 | |
| 1926 | Experimental interfaces to produce and use QEMU images are provided by the |
| 1927 | (gnu system vm) module. For instance, the |
| 1928 | ‘expression->derivation-in-linux-vm’ evaluates the given Scheme expression in |
| 1929 | a QEMU virtual machine running the Linux kernel and Guile. |
| 1930 | |
| 1931 | ** GNU distribution |
| 1932 | |
| 1933 | Many updates and additions have been made to the distribution. Here are the |
| 1934 | highlights. |
| 1935 | |
