[PATCH 0/5] 'guix pack --relocatable' |
|

Hello Guix!
This is the cleaned up version of what we discussed at:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-04/msg00252.html
Part of the work here is to use relative symlinks in profiles and in
links created with ‘guix pack -S’ such that, if you run:
guix pack -R -S /mybin=bin bash-static
you can then unpack the result and run:
./mybin/sh
For ‘guix pack -R’ I started providing the framework so that ‘guix pack
--bootstrap’ would use the bootstrap C compiler, which in turn would
allow us to add a unit test. Unfortunately, since ‘glibc-bootstrap’
lacks ‘libc.a’, we cannot do that.
Anyway feedback welcome! I invite you to give it a try if you have a
non-Guix machine at hand, it’s pretty fun. :-)
What remains to be seen is the implications for the binary installation
tarball: what if we created it with -R? Would it be of any use? I
guess ‘guix-daemon’ would still need to run with --disable-chroot
because build users would be missing. Maybe we should change
‘guix-daemon’ to do something sensible in that case?
Ludo’.
Ludovic Courtès (5):
union: Add 'relative-file-name'.
profiles: Optionally use relative file names for symlink targets.
profiles: Allow lowerable objects other than packages in
<manifest-entry>.
search-paths: Add 'set-search-paths'.
pack: Add '--relocatable'.
