*** New extensible service composition API
|
||
|
||
The operating system service API in (gnu services) has been completely
|
||
rewritten, significantly improving extensibility and modularity, while
|
||
providing a framework that makes it easy to reason about service composition.
|
||
Consequently, several sources of redundancy and confusion in
|
||
‘operating-system’ declarations have been eliminated. See “Service
|
||
Composition” in the manual.

|
||
*** ‘%desktop-services’ now includes Polkit, GeoClue, elogind, UDisks, and more
|
||
*** ‘dbus-daemon’ now has proper support for lazy service activation
|
||
*** ‘wicd-service’ automatically adds Wicd to the system profile
|
||
*** ‘slim-service’ automatically adds xterm to the system profile
|
||
*** hydra.gnu.org now provides substitutes for ‘armhf-linux’
|
||
*** /run/systemd is mounted as tmpfs by default, for use by elogind
|
||
*** ‘glibc’ package no longer contains Bash in its bin/ directory
|
||

** Programming interfaces
|
||
|
||
*** New “package Reference” and “origin Reference” sections in the manual
|
||
*** New ‘emacs-build-system’, which mimics what package.el does
|
||
*** New (guix cpio) module, used to produce Linux initrds deterministically
|
||
*** New ‘clone’, ‘setns’, and ‘pivot_root’ bindings in (guix build syscalls)
|
||
*** New ‘dependencies’ field in <file-system>
|
||
*** New #:gem-flags parameter for ‘ruby-build-system’
|
||
|
||
*** monads: ‘foldm’, ‘mapm’, and ‘anym’ now take a list of regular values
|
||
*** monads: Allow n-ary ‘>>=’ expressions
|
||
** Noteworthy bug fixes
|
||
|
||
*** Binary installation tarball now has files root-owned, with zeroed mtime
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/21101>)
|
||
*** GRUB background image is always available (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20591>)
|
||
*** ‘guix system’ catches references to non-existent user groups
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/20646>)
|
||
*** Ignore trailing components for ‘guix gc -d’ (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19757>)
|
||
*** ‘guix lint’ warns only when all the URIs are unreachable
|
||
*** ‘guix system init’ overwrites the items in the target store
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/20722>)
|
||
*** ‘guix-register’ performs deduplication even when --prefix is passed
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/19044>)
|
||
*** The ‘location’ of packages is no longer preserved by ‘inherit’
|
||
*** GuixSD installation image has udev rules for device-mapper
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/20791>)
|
||
*** Daemon distinguishes between “substitutable” and “offloadable” derivations
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/18747>)
|
||
*** Avoid infinite loop in ‘guix substitute’
|
||
*** ‘guix environment’ now returns the exit code of its command
|
||
*** ‘file-system’ declarations can now really use UUIDs
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/19778>)
|
||
*** Daemon preserves build user groups (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18994>)
|
||

|
||
|
||
** Package management
|
||
|
||
*** New “binary tarball” installation method is available
|
||
|
||
See “Binary Installation” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘guix publish’ command, to publish one’s store
|
||
|
||
See “Invoking guix publish” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix package’ runs “profile creation hooks” as needed
|
||
|
||
It creates X.509 certificate bundles in the profile’s etc/ssl directory, if
|
||
needed, generates a package database cache for GHC if the profile includes GHC
|
||
(the Haskell compiler), and generates an Info ‘dir’ file (this part was
|
||
already done before.)
|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix package’ creates an ‘etc/profile’ file in the profile
|
||
|
||
See “Invoking guix package” in the manual.

|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix package --search’ now sorts packages by name and version
|
||
|
||
*** Substitute information is now fetched using HTTP pipelining
|
||
|
||
Before that the “substituter” used threads. Using HTTP pipelining means that
|
||
resource consumption is reduced on both the client and server sides. As a
|
||
side effect, a progress report is displayed as substitute info is downloaded.
|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix package’ warns when a $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH module cannot be loaded
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘--sources’ option to ‘guix build’
|
||
|
||
*** New Bash completion file, installed in $sysconfdir/bash_completion.d
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘guix import hackage’ command
|
||
|
||
See “Invoking guix import” in the manual.

||
*** Packages are now build in an environment with a UTF-8 locale
|
||
|
||

||
*** C library's name service switch (NSS) is now fully configurable
|
||
|
||
See “Name Service Switch” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** New services: wicd, lirc, colord, upower, console-keymap, postgresql
|
||
|
||
*** Xorg service supports new drivers, such as Nouveau
|
||

|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix system’ reports duplicate service identifiers
|
||
|
||
*** New /etc/bashrc file that loads Bash completion when available
|
||
|
||
*** SLiM service uses sessions from /run/current-system/profile/share/xsessions
|
||
|
||
See “X Window” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** The Linux “YAMA” restricting policy on PTRACE_ATTACH is now disabled
|
||
|
||

** Programming interfaces
|
||
|
||
*** New (guix build gremlin) to parse and validate ELF dynamic link info
|
||
|
||
*** (guix build-system gnu) has a new ‘validate-runpath’ phase
|
||
|
||
This phase reads the dynamic entries of ELF files and reports libraries listed
|
||
as NEEDED that are not found in the RUNPATH.
|
||
|
||
*** New (gnu services desktop) module and ‘%desktop-services’ variable
|
||
|
||
*** New (guix cvs-download) module, for CVS checkouts
|
||
|
||
*** New (guix build-system waf) module, for the Waf build system
|
||
|
||
*** New (guix build-system haskell) module, to build Haskell packages
|
||
|
||
*** (guix build-system gnu) now supports zip archives
|
||
|
||
*** New convenience syntax ‘modify-phases’ added in (guix build utils)
|
||
|
||
*** The ‘ld’ wrapper more finely determines whether to use ‘-rpath’
|
||
|
||
*** (guix gexp) exports ‘gexp-input’ to describe input unambiguously
|
||
|
||
*** The ‘define-gexp-compiler’ form allows (guix gexp) to be extended
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘local-file’ constructor exported by (guix gexp)
|
||
|
||
** Noteworthy bug fixes
|
||
|
||
*** Profiles created with ‘guix package -p’ as indirect GC roots
|
||
|
||
Before that they were made permanent GC roots–i.e., uncollectable.
|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix package’ distinguishes downgrades from upgrades
|
||
|
||
*** Handle HTTP redirects to relative URI references
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/19840>)
|
||
|
||
*** Downloads now honor the ‘http_proxy’ environment variable
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/20402>)
|
||
|
||
*** ‘--no-*’ options are now always correctly handled
|
||
(<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-02/msg00702.html>)
|
||
|
||
*** SLiM no longer leaks open file descriptors
|
||
|
||
*** Don't compare <pam-service> objects with 'equal?'
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/20037>)
|
||
|
||
*** x86_64 and i686 bootstrap binaries updated (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19780>)
|
||
|
||
*** ‘find-files’ no longer follows symlinks (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20081>)
|
||
|
||
*** libc message catalog (‘libc.mo’) is now installed
|
||
|
||
*** libstdc++ has appropriate RUNPATH (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20358>)
|
||
|
||
*** ‘dhcp-client-service’ now correctly tracks dhclient’s PID
|
||
|
||
** Native language support
|
||
|
||
*** New translations: da (Danish)
|
||
|
||
*** Updated translations: eo
|
||
|
||
* Changes in 0.8.1 (since 0.8)
|
||
|
||
** Package management
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘--share’ and ‘--expose’ options for ‘guix system vm’
|
||
|
||
See “Invoking guix system” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** Emacs mode now automatically loads newly installed Emacs packages
|
||
|
||
See “Emacs Initial Setup” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix-daemon’ now defaults to ‘--cores=0 --jobs=1’
|
||
|
||
In other words, at any given time, only one derivation is being built or
|
||
substituted, and it can use as many cores as available. Before, there could
|
||
be N derivations using N cores, which was obviously not desirable.
|
||
|
||
*** Command-line tools support the ‘GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS’ environment variable
|
||
|
||
See “Invoking guix build” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix environment’ is faster
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘--recursive’ option for ‘guix archive’
|
||
|
||
See “Invoking guix archive” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** Missing patches required by a package definition are gracefully reported
|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix lint’ supports additional checkers
|
||
|
||
The new checkers are ‘gnu-description’, ‘home-page’, and ‘source’.
|
||
See “Invoking guix lint” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** New CPAN importer for ‘guix import’
|
||
|
||
See “Invoking guix import” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
** Distribution
|
||
|
||
*** USB installation image has more tools
|
||
|
||
Tools added since 0.8: wpa_supplicant, cryptsetup, and iw.
|
||
|
||
*** Linux kernel module dependencies are automatically handled
|
||
|
||
Before that, all the modules needed in the initrd would need to be explicitly
|
||
listed, including their dependencies, and in topological order.
|
||
|
||
*** Font packages now all have a name starting with ‘font-’
|
||
|
||
See “Fonts” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** Shell startup files have been cleaned up
|
||
|
||
/etc/profile contains only environment variable definitions, which may also be
|
||
used when running a different shell. The skeletons for user’s ‘.bash_profile’
|
||
and ‘.bashrc’ files behave as documented in the Bash manual. Zsh is supported.
|
||
|
||
*** The ‘root’ account gets a copy of the account skeleton files
|
||
|
||
Before that, the skeleton files would only be copied to non-root accounts.
|
||
|
||
*** The name service cache daemon (nscd) is configurable
|
||
|
||
By default it aggressively caches host and service lookups. See “Base
|
||
Services” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** Available locale definitions are now declared in ‘operating-system’
|
||
|
||
Before, the ‘glibc’ package would contain all the existing locales, as well as
|
||
the ‘locale-archive’ file, amounting to 110 MiB. See “Locales” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** SLiM sessions are configurable
|
||
|
||
Pressing F1 in the SLiM graphical log-in screen allows users to choose among
|
||
the pre-configured session types. See “X Window” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** Man pages and Info files are systematically gzip-compressed
|
||
|
||
*** ‘gnu-build-system’ ensures that documentation is in share/{man,info}
|
||
|
||
If a package installs to $prefix/{man,info}, this is automatically fixed to be
|
||
$prefix/share/{man,info}.
|
||
|
||
*** ‘strip’ is invoked only on ELF files and ‘ar’ archives
|
||
|
||
*** ‘libtool’ and ‘libltdl’ are now separate packages
|
||
|
||
*** Emacs mode is readily usable on the Guix System Distribution
|
||
|
||
*** Substitutes are now enabled by default on freshly installed systems
|
||
*** 164 new packages

|
||
|
||
** Programming interfaces
|
||
|
||
*** New (guix elf) and (gnu build linux-modules) modules
|
||
|
||
These provide resolution of Linux kernel module dependencies. See
|
||
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2014-11/msg00670.html>.
|
||
|
||
*** ‘glib-or-gtk-build-system’ has been extended
|
||
|
||
It now handles GIO and XDG themes, takes care of generating the icon cache,
|
||
and has a new #:glib-or-gtk-wrap-excluded-outputs parameter.
|
||
|
||
*** ‘search-path-specification’ can now specify non-directory items
|
||
|
||
For example, the ‘search-path-specification’ attached to libxml2 specifies a
|
||
file pattern, which allows all the ‘catalog.xml’ files to be added to the
|
||
‘XML_CATALOG_FILES’ environment variable.
|
||
|
||
*** (guix build syscalls) has more network-related procedures
|
||
|
||
‘set-network-interface-flags’, ‘set-network-interface-address’,
|
||
‘network-interface-address’, and ‘configure-network-interface’ are ioctl
|
||
bindings used by network-handling dmd services.
|
||
|
||
*** (guix monads) refactoring
|
||
|
||
‘%store-monad’ is now in (guix store) and is an alias for the new
|
||
‘%state-monad’ provided by (guix monads). Monadic procedures dealing with the
|
||
store, with derivations, and with packages have been moved from (guix monads)
|
||
to (guix store), (guix derivations), and (guix packages). See “The Store
|
||
Monad” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** (guix build utils) provides ‘parallel-job-count’
|
||
|
||
*** ‘wrap-program’ preserves the original argv[0]
|
||
|
||
*** New (guix sets) module
|
||
|
||
*** ‘define-record-type*’ now support “delayed” fields
|
||
|
||
** Noteworthy bug fixes
|
||
|
||
*** X session is executed from a login shell (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19119>)
|
||
*** grub.cfg is now a garbage-collector root (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19160>)
|
||
*** Substituter progress report properly formatted
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/19313>)
|
||
*** Document permissions for /gnu/store (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19316>)
|
||
*** Make sure config.go is newer than config.scm
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/19317>)
|
||
*** Emacs knows where to find its GLib schemas (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19138>)
|
||
*** Adjust 'grub.cfg' to work on systems with a separate /boot
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/19220>)
|
||
*** Fix removal of next-to-last item in a profile
|
||
(<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2014-12/msg00292.html>)
|
||
*** Apply patches with "patch --force" (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19402>)
|
||
*** Extend ‘search-path-specification’ for libxml2-style use cases
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/18033>)
|
||
*** Search for patches under $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19364>)
|
||
*** Use executables from the target inputs in 'patch-shebangs'
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/18895>)
|
||
*** guix-daemon now automatically creates '…/profiles/per-user'
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/19315>)
|
||
*** Make /etc/mtab a symlink to /proc/self/mounts
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/19491>)
|
||
*** Don't build the mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 cross-compiler on i686
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/19598>)
|
||
*** Read archive signatures as Latin-1 strings (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19610>)
|
||
*** Raise an error for references to non-existent outputs
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/19630>)
|
||
*** Initialize libgcrypt before use (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19677>)
|
||
|
||
** Native language support
|
||
|
||
*** New translations: fr (French), hu (Hungarian)
|
||
*** Updated translation: eo, vi
|
||
|
||
* Changes in 0.8 (since 0.7)
|
||
|
||
** Package management
|
||
|
||
*** New visual user interface in Emacs
|
||
|
||
See “Emacs Interface” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘guix environment’ command to produce development environment
|
||
|
||
See “Invoking guix environment” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** The ‘guix import’ command has been extended and documented
|
||
|
||
It can now import packages from pypi.python.org and from GNU.
|
||
See “Invoking guix import” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘guix lint’ command, for use by Guix developers
|
||
|
||
See “Invoking guix lint” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** Packages can now be “grafted” with replacements of their dependencies
|
||
|
||
See “Security Updates” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** The distribution can be extended with ‘--load-path’ or $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH
|
||
|
||
This allows users to maintain their own package definitions, and make them
|
||
visible to the various user interfaces. See “Package Modules” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix package’ better reports package upgrades
|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix package’ has a new ‘--switch-generation’ option
|
||
|
||
See “Invoking guix package” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix-daemon’ has a new ‘--substitute-urls’ option
|
||
|
||
See “Invoking guix-daemon” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
** Distribution
|
||
|
||
*** The stand-alone operating system now supports Linux mapped devices
|
||
|
||
See “Mapped Devices” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** New fields in ‘operating-system’ declarations, better documentation
|
||
|
||
New fields include ‘hosts-file’, ‘mapped-devices’, and ‘swap-devices’.
|
||
See “operating-system Reference” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** New services: ‘dhcp-client-service’, ‘bitlbee-service’, ‘ntp-service’
|
||
|
||
See “Services” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** Free firmware can be loaded
|
||
|
||
This notably enables support for some Atheros-based WiFi devices (ath9k-htc.)
|
||
See “operating-system Reference” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** ‘grub-configuration’ declarations can now specify a theme
|
||
|
||
See “GRUB Configuration” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** The ‘base-initrd’ now has a different signature
|
||
|
||
Existing uses in ‘operating-system’ declarations need to be updated. See
|
||
“Initial RAM Disk” in the manual for details.
|
||
|
||
*** eudev is now used by default, instead of an old udev release
|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix system vm’ has a new ‘--full-boot’ option
|
||
|
||
See “Invoking guix system” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** The ‘file’ command is now part of the package build environment
|
||
|
||
Autoconf-generated ‘configure’ scripts for packages using Libtool use ‘file’
|
||
to determine the target ABI, notably on MIPS, hence this change.
|
||
|
||

|
||
** Programming interfaces
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘ruby-build-system’, for Ruby packages
|
||
|
||
See “Build Systems” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘glib-or-gtk-build-system’, for packages using GLib schemas
|
||
|
||
See “Build Systems” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** ‘gnu-build-system’ has a new #:substitutable? parameter
|
||
|
||
This allows packagers to mark a package as requiring a local build, thus
|
||
preventing it from being substituted by a pre-built binary.
|
||
|
||
*** ‘cmake-build-system’ has a new #:build-type parameter
|
||
|
||
See “Build Systems” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** The ‘supported-systems’ field of packages is used more consistently
|
||
|
||
This allows packagers to prevent attempts to build a package on a given
|
||
architecture when that architecture is known not to be supported. The
|
||
‘package-transitive-supported-systems’ procedure returns the intersection of
|
||
the systems supported by the given package and by its dependencies.
|
||
|
||
*** The ‘wrap-program’ procedure can now be called multiple times
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘graft-derivations’ and ‘package-grafts’ procedures
|
||
|
||
They implement “grafts”, as described under “Security Updates” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** New “bag” intermediate representation for use by build systems
|
||
|
||
“Bags” are used internally as an intermediate representation between packages
|
||
and derivations. See “Build Systems” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** New (guix monad-repl) module, for monadic interaction at the REPL
|
||
|
||
See “The Store Monad” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** New (guix build emacs-utils) module, to facilitate building Emacs packages
|
||
|
||
*** New (guix tests) module, with tools used by the test suite
|
||
|
||
*** The internal ‘guix-register’ command now deduplicates files in store items
|
||
|
||
*** Several system modules moved from (guix build …) to (gnu build …)
|
||
|
||
Also, the (gnu build linux-boot) module has been introduced, with code
|
||
typically used by initial RAM disks when booting on GNU/Linux-libre.
|
||
|
||
*** (guix profiles) provides a representation of package transactions
|
||
|
||
This factorizes code between ‘guix package’ and the Emacs user interface.
|
||
|
||
*** Bootstrapping packages moved to (gnu packages commencement) modules
|
||
|
||
** Bugs fixed
|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix-daemon’ now really deduplicates store items by default
|
||
|
||
Deduplication means that identical files found in /gnu/store are stored only
|
||
once, using hard links. This feature was wrongfully disabled, and is now
|
||
enabled by default. The former ‘--disable-store-optimization’ option has been
|
||
renamed to ‘--disable-deduplication’.
|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix-daemon’ no longer uses ‘vfork’
|
||
|
||
This could cause problems with ancient Linux kernel.
|
||
|
||
*** Fixed compilation of ‘gccgo’ (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18101>)
|
||
*** 'make clean' doesn't delete os-config.tmpl (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18243>)
|
||
*** Fix handling of periods by fill-paragraph (<http://bugs.gnu.org/17468>)
|
||
*** Produce a top-level Info 'dir' file (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18305>)
|
||
*** guix offload ignores unreachable machines (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18070>)
|
||
*** guix offload: Ignore EEXIST when registering a .drv as a GC root
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/18115>)
|
||
*** perl-tk: Build sequentially (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18262>)
|
||
*** download: Use the 'SERVER NAME' TLS extension when possible
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/18526>)
|
||
*** libdaemon: Add alternate source URLs (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18639>)
|
||
*** icu4c: Reinstate RUNPATH on shared libraries
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/18695>)
|
||
*** nss-mdns: Add alternate source URLs (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18704>)
|
||
*** download: Add "Accept: */*" to the HTTP headers
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/18768>)
|
||
*** guix-register: Do not attempt to create NIX_STORE_DIR
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/18689>)
|
||
*** Allow Linux-libre to find our 'modprobe' command
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/18525>)
|
||
*** man-pages: Build sequentially (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18701>)
|
||
*** Fix intermittent test failures involving GC (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18935>)
|
||
*** guix import: pypi: Gracefully handle non-existent packages
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/18831>)
|
||
*** Make sure the shared library has the '.so' extension
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/18521>)
|
||
*** pull: Use the build procedure provided by the newly-downloaded Guix.
|
||
(<http://bugs.gnu.org/18534>)
|
||
*** WindowMaker no longer pollutes $PATH (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18698>)
|
||
|
||
** Native language support
|
||
*** New translation: cs (Czech)
|
||
*** Updated translations: de, sr, vi
|
||
|
||
* Changes in 0.7 (since 0.6)
|
||
** Package management
|
||
*** Binaries for mips64el-linux now available from hydra.gnu.org
|
||
|
||
These come in addition to the x86_64-linux and i686-linux binaries already
|
||
provided, thanks to our generous donor and friendly admins. See
|
||
“Substitutes” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix package’ has a new ‘--show’ option
|
||
*** ‘guix refresh’ has a new ‘--list-dependent’ option
|
||
|
||
** Programming interfaces
|
||
*** New (guix gexp) module, which implements “G-expressions”
|
||
|
||
G-expressions are a new mechanism to embed build-side code in host-side
|
||
code. See “G-Expressions” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** (gnu system) and related modules now use G-expressions
|
||
|
||
This greatly simplifies code, and guarantees that build code carries
|
||
references to the packages or derivations it uses.
|
||
|
||
*** ‘build-expression->derivation’ is deprecated in favor of G-expressions
|
||
*** The (gnu system) module has been largely augmented and factorized
|
||
*** New (guix build vm) module, support for virtual machine images
|
||
*** New (guix build activation) module, for “system activation”
|
||
*** New (guix build syscalls) module
|
||
*** New (guix build install) and module for whole system installation
|
||
*** New (gnu system install) module, for the installation system
|
||
*** New (gnu system file-systems) module, for ‘file-system’ declarations
|
||
*** New (gnu) module, which aggregates common (gnu …) modules
|
||
*** ‘service’ records now have an optional ‘activate’ field
|
||
|
||
This allows services to specify code to run at system activation time.
|
||
|
||
** GNU distribution
|
||
*** An image to install the GNU system from a USB stick is provided
|
||
|
||
This is the first time an installation image is provided. See “System
|
||
Installation” in the manual for details. This is work in progress as noted
|
||
in “Limitations”. Your feedback and help are welcome!
|
||
|
||
*** Support for more parameters in ‘operating-system’ declarations
|
||
|
||
Operating system declarations can now provide a list of file systems, a list
|
||
of setuid programs, bootloader options, and more. See “System Configuration”
|
||
in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix system’ supports more actions
|
||
|
||
Newly supported actions are ‘init’, ‘build’, ‘reconfigure’, and ‘disk-image’.
|
||
See “Invoking guix system” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** User accounts and groups are created at system activation time
|
||
*** Virtual machine support uses para-virtualized devices
|
||
*** GCC package now has an additional ‘lib’ output, for run-time support libs
|
||
*** GLib package now has a separate “bin” output (<http://bugs.gnu.org/17853>)
|
||
*** 134 new packages

*** New ‘gcc-toolchain’ meta-package, makes it easy to install a GCC tool chain
|
||
*** libc’s Info manual is now installed
|
||
*** Binutils is built with --enable-deterministic-archives
|
||
*** Packages that populated man/man* now populate share/man/man*
|
||
*** Many other packaging improvements
|
||
** Bugs fixed
|
||
*** ‘guix pull’ consumes less memory, compiles in parallel
|
||
*** ‘guix package --list-*’ gracefully handles EPIPE when used in a pipeline
|
||
*** ‘guix package’ handles collisions between a symlink and a directory
|
||
(http://bugs.gnu.org/17083)
|
||
*** HTTP downloads provide a ‘User-Agent’ field (http://bugs.gnu.org/16703)
|
||
*** ‘guix package’ no longer shows misleading installed package number
|
||
(http://bugs.gnu.org/16484)
|
||
*** Manual suggests ‘useradd --system’ (http://bugs.gnu.org/16289)
|

*** Python is built with ctypes support (http://bugs.gnu.org/16569)
|
||
*** HTTP/TLS connection not terminated properly (http://bugs.gnu.org/14884)

*** Gracefully handle poorly behaved HTTP servers (http://bugs.gnu.org/15733)
|
||
|
||
* Changes in 0.5 (since 0.4)
|
||
** Package management
|
||
*** GNU package descriptions synchronized with the ‘gnumaint’ repository
|
||
|
||
In addition to synopses, descriptions of GNU packages are now kept in sync
|
||
with the ‘gnumaint’ repository, which is the canonical place for GNU package
|
||
meta-data.
|
||
|
||
** Programming interfaces
|
||
*** Patches are now listed as part of ‘origin’
|
||
|
||
The ‘origin’ form supports two new fields: ‘patches’ (list of patches), and
|
||
‘snippet’ (code snippet to modify the source.) These are applied when running
|
||
‘guix build --source’. See “Defining Packages” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** New (guix monads) monadic interface to operate on the store
|
||
|
||
See “The Store Monad” in the manual. The (gnu system …) modules have been
|
||
rewritten to use this monadic interface.
|
||
|
||
*** New (guix profiles) module
|
||
|
||
It provides an API for dealing with profiles, as with the ‘guix package’
|
||
command.
|
||
|
||
*** New (gnu system) module
|
||
|
||
This module provides a generic way to describe the system’s configuration,
|
||
and to instantiate it, regardless of the final medium (QEMU image, etc.)
|
||
See “System Configuration” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
This is work in progress. Send feedback to guix-devel@gnu.org!
|
||
|
||
*** ‘build-expression->derivation’ uses more parameters
|
||
|
||
Some positional parameters have been changed to keyword parameters.
|
||
See “Derivations” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
** GNU distribution
|
||
*** New port to the Loongson MIPS64 processors, n32 ABI (‘mips64el-linux’)
|
||
|
||
Bootstrap binaries have been built for that architecture, and several
|
||
Loongson-specific patches not yet available upstream have been applied to core
|
||
packages. See “GNU Distribution” and “Porting” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
Pre-built binaries are not yet available via hydra.gnu.org, so Guix will
|
||
build from source on this platform.

*** Packages are now built with GCC 4.8.2 by default (was 4.7.3)
|
||
|
||
** Native language support
|
||
*** New ‘sr’ (Serbian) translation
|
||
*** New ‘vi’ (Vietnamese) translation
|
||
*** Updated ‘pt_BR’ (Brazilian Portuguese) translation
|
||
** Bugs fixed
|
||
*** ‘guix pull’ compiles Guix deterministically and correctly
|
||
|
||
Previously, the build environment was not cleared in between ‘compile-file’
|
||
calls, leading to build errors due to Guile bug http://bugs.gnu.org/15602 .
|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix package’ allows removal of a specific package output
|
||
(http://bugs.gnu.org/15756)
|
||
*** ‘guix-daemon’ always sets umask to 022
|
||
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2013-07/msg00033.html)
|
||
*** Files referenced by environment variables are protected from GC
|
||
*** Yet unbuilt packages get correctly installed (http://bugs.gnu.org/15283)
|
||
*** ‘bootstrap-graph.{png,eps,pdf}’ built in srcdir (http://bugs.gnu.org/15640)
|
||
|
||
* Changes in 0.4 (since 0.3)
|
||
|
||
** Package management
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘--list-generations’ and ‘--delete-generations’ options
|
||
|
||
The ‘guix package’ command has these two new options, which make it easier to
|
||
deal with a profile’s generation. See “Invoking guix package” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘guix-register’ program
|
||
|
||
This program allows the meta-data of a new store to be initialized, by
|
||
copying info from an existing store. It is mostly an internal tool.
|
||
|
||
** Programming interfaces
|
||
|
||
*** New API to bootstrap Autotools-based packages
|
||
|
||
The (guix build-system gnu) has a new ‘dist-package’ procedure that takes a
|
||
package object and source directory, and returns a new package object that
|
||
runs ‘./bootstrap && make dist’ or anything similar.
|
||
|
||
*** ‘derivation’ and related procedures have a #:references-graphs parameter
|
||
|
||
This parameter instructs the build daemon to populate the derivation’s build
|
||
tree with files containing the list of references of the given store files.
|
||
This is useful to write code that copies a packages and all its dependencies
|
||
to another storage device, such as a QEMU disk image.
|
||
|
||
*** Extended API to build a GNU system virtual machine image
|
||
|
||
The (gnu system vm) module has been augmented in many ways: the ‘qemu-image’
|
||
procedure can now populate and initialize the image’s store; the new
|
||
‘system-qemu-image’ procedure returns a QEMU image that runs dmd as its init
|
||
system, has ‘login’ running on several consoles, has a set of installed
|
||
packages, and where Guix can be used.
|
||
|
||
New (gnu system …) modules have been added to handle the configuration of the
|
||
various parts of a GNU/Linux system. For instance, (gnu system dmd) provides
|
||
support for instantiating dmd services; (gnu system linux) helps with Linux
|
||
PAM configuration; and so on.
|
||
|
||
*** <derivation> objects supersede .drv file names in the API
|
||
|
||
‘derivation’ and similar procedures no longer return two values (a
|
||
<derivation> and a .drv file name); they now return a single value, which is
|
||
a <derivation> object. The <derivation> object embeds the corresponding .drv
|
||
file name. See “Derivations” in the manual for details.

|
||
|
||
*** Fontconfig font search path made more convenient
|
||
|
||
Fontconfig, the library used by many graphical applications, such as those
|
||
based on GTK+, now knows where to find the default set of fonts. Additional
|
||
fonts installed in the user profile are automatically picked up.
|
||
|
||
*** More GUI applications
|
||
|
||
The ‘emacs’ and ‘racket’ packages are now linked against GTK+. New GTK+
|
||
applications have been added (see above.)
|
||
|
||
*** Packaging guidelines
|
||
|
||
The documentation of packaging guidelines has been augmented. See the manual
|
||
under “GNU Distribution”.
|
||
|
||
*** Support for Python 3 along with Python 2
|
||
|
||
Python 3 has been added to the distribution, and Python packages that support
|
||
it are now built for both Python 2 and Python 3. See the “Python Modules”
|
||
section of the manual for details.
|
||
|
||
** Internationalization

|
||
|
||
* Changes in 0.3 (since 0.2)
|
||
|
||
** Package management
|
||
|
||
*** Cross-compilation support
|
||
|
||
Guix can now cross-build packages. On the command-line, this is achieved with
|
||
the new ‘--target’ command-line option of ‘guix build’. At the Scheme level,
|
||
the guts of this is the ‘package-cross-derivation’ procedure. Core packages
|
||
of the distribution can already be cross-compiled. See the manual for
|
||
details.
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘--max-silent-time’ option for “guix build” and “guix package”
|
||
|
||
See the manual for details.
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘--fallback’ option for “guix build” and “guix package”
|
||
|
||
This option instructs to fall back to local builds when the substituter fails
|
||
to download a substitute.
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘--requisites’ option for “guix gc”
|
||
|
||
See the manual for details.
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘--key-download’ option for “guix refresh”
|
||
|
||
See the manual for details.
|
||
|
||
** Programming interfaces
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘package-cross-derivation’ procedure in (guix derivations)
|
||
|
||
See the manual for details.
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘%current-target-system’ SRFI-39 parameter
|
||
|
||
This parameter is like ‘%current-system’, but for cross-compilation. It
|
||
allows code in package definitions (such as in the ‘arguments’ field) to know
|
||
whether it is being cross-compiled, and what the target system is.
|
||
|
||
*** New (guix hash) module; new ‘open-sha256-port’ and ‘sha256-port’ procedures
|
||
|
||
This improves performance of SHA256 computations.
|
||
|
||
|
||
** GNU distribution

|
||
|
||
*** Binary packages now available for i686-linux
|
||
|
||
The build farm at http://hydra.gnu.org now provides 32-bit GNU/Linux binaries
|
||
(i686-linux), in addition to the x86_64-linux binaries. Both can be
|
||
transparently used as substitutes for local builds on these platforms.
|
||
|
||
*** Debug info packages
|
||
|
||
Some packages now have a “debug” output containing debugging information. The
|
||
“debug” output can be used by GDB, and can be installed separately from the
|
||
other outputs of the package. See “Installing Debugging Files” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** Bootstrap binaries can be cross-compiled
|
||
|
||
The distribution can now be ported to new architectures (currently
|
||
GNU/Linux-only) by cross-compiling the “bootstrap binaries”. See “Porting”
|
||
in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** Bootstrapping documented
|
||
|
||
See “Bootstrapping” in the manual, for information on how the GNU
|
||
distribution builds “from scratch”.
|
||
|
||
** Internationalization
|
||
|
||
New translations: eo, pt_BR.
|
||
|
||
** Bugs fixed
|
||
*** “guix --help” now works when using Guile 2.0.5
|
||
*** Binary substituter multi-threading and pipe issues fixed
|
||
|
||
These could lead to random substituter crashes while substituting a binary.
|
||
See commits 0332386 and 101d9f3 for details.
|
||
|
||
*** Binary substituter gracefully handles lack of network connectivity
|
||
|
||
*** Daemon properly handles rebuilds of multiple-output derivations
|
||
|
||
Previously it would fail when rebuilding a multiple-output derivation when
|
||
some (but not all) of its outputs were already present. See
|
||
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2013-06/msg00038.html and
|
||
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/122 .
|
||
|
||
*** ‘guix package -i foo:out’ no longer removes other outputs of ‘foo’
|
||
|
||
Previously only the ‘out’ output of package ‘foo’ would be kept in the
|
||
profile.
|
||
|
||
*** Replacement (srfi srfi-37) provided if the user’s one is broken
|
||
|
||
When the user’s (srfi srfi-37) is affected by http://bugs.gnu.org/13176 (Guile
|
||
< 2.0.9), a replacement with the bug fix is provided. This bug would affect
|
||
command-line argument processing in some cases.
|
||
|
||
* Changes in 0.2 (since 0.1)
|
||
|
||
** Package management
|
||
|
||
*** Guix commands are now sub-commands of the “guix” program
|
||
|
||
Instead of typing “guix-package”, one now has to type “guix package”, and so
|
||
on. This has allowed us to homogenize the user interface and initial program
|
||
setup, and to allow commands to be upgradable through “guix pull”.
|
||
|
||
*** New “guix package --upgrade” option
|
||
|
||
As the name implies, this option atomically upgrades all the packages
|
||
installed in a profile or the set of packages matching a given regexp.
|
||
See “Invoking guix package” in the manual.
|
||
|
||
*** New “guix package --search” option
|
||
|
||
Performs a full text search in package synopses and descriptions, and returns
|
||
the matching packages in recutils format. See “Invoking guix package” in the
|
||
manual, for details.
|
||
|
||
*** New “guix pull” command
|
||
|
||
The command pulls the latest version of Guix–both the package management
|
||
modules and the distribution. See the manual for details.
|
||
|
||
*** New binary substituter
|
||
|
||
The “substituter” mechanism allows pre-built binaries to be transparently
|
||
downloaded instead of performing a build locally. Currently binaries are
|
||
available for x86_64 Linux-based GNU systems from http://hydra.gnu.org. The
|
||
distribution is continuously built and binaries are made available from there.
|
||
|
||
See http://hydra.gnu.org/jobset/gnu/master under “Job status” for the list of
|
||
available binary packages.
|
||
|
||
*** New “guix refresh” command
|
||
|
||
The command is used by Guix maintainers. It automatically updates the
|
||
distribution to the latest upstream releases of GNU software.
|
||
|
||
*** New “guix hash” command
|
||
|
||
Convenience command to compute the hash of a file. See the manual for
|
||
details.
|
||
|
||
*** Nix daemon code updated
|
||
|
||
The daemon code from Nix, used by the ‘guix-daemon’ command, has been updated
|
||
to current Nix ‘master’.
|
||
|
||
** Programming interfaces
|
||
|
||
*** (guix download) now supports HTTPS, using GnuTLS
|
||
|
||
It allows package source tarballs to be retrieved over HTTPS.
|
||
|
||
*** New ‘native-search-path’ and ‘search-path’ package fields
|
||
|
||
Packages can define in their ‘native-search-path’ field environment variables
|
||
that define search paths and need to be set for proper functioning of the
|
||
package. For instance, GCC has ‘CPATH’ and ‘LIBRARY_PATH’ in its
|
||
‘native-search-path’, Perl has ‘PERL5LIB’, Python has ‘PYTHONPATH’, etc.
|
||
These environment variables are automatically set when building a package that
|
||
uses one of these.
|
||
|
||
*** Package inputs can be a function of the target system type
|
||
|
||
The ‘inputs’ field of a package can now be conditional on the value of
|
||
(%current-system). This is useful for packages that take system-dependent
|
||
tarballs as inputs, such as GNU/MIT Scheme.
|
||
|
||
*** New build systems
|
||
|
||
The ‘perl-build-system’, ‘python-build-system’, and ‘cmake-build-system’ have
|
||
been added. They implement the standard build systems for Perl, Python, and
|
||
CMake packages.
|
||
|
||
*** Tools to build Linux initrds, QEMU images, and more
|
||
|
||
The (gnu packages linux-initrd) module provides a procedure to build a Linux
|
||
initrd (“initial RAM disk”). The initrd embeds Guile, which is used to
|
||
evaluate the given expression. The example below returns an initrd that
|
||
mounts the /proc file system and starts a REPL:
|
||
|
||
(expression->initrd
|
||
'(begin
|
||
(mkdir "/proc")
|
||
(mount "none" "/proc" "proc")
|
||
((@ (system repl repl) start-repl))))
|
||
|
||
More examples in the linux-initrd.scm file.
|
||
|
||
Experimental interfaces to produce and use QEMU images are provided by the
|
||
(gnu system vm) module. For instance, the
|
||
‘expression->derivation-in-linux-vm’ evaluates the given Scheme expression in
|
||
a QEMU virtual machine running the Linux kernel and Guile.
|
||
|
||
