This avoids failures on loaded machines as seen
at <http://hydra.gnu.org/build/906900/log/raw>.
* gnu/packages/patches/grep-timing-sensitive-test.patch: New file.
* gnu-system.am (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (grep): Use it.
This makes libc bit-for-bit reproducible per '--rounds=2'.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc)[arguments] <pre-configure>: Remove
__DATE__ and __TIME__ from nscd_stat.c.
Suggested by Mark H Weaver <mhw@netris.org>.
* gnu/packages/patches/glibc-versioned-locpath.patch: New file.
* gnu-system.am (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc)[source]: Use it.
[arguments]: Add explicit version sub-directory to
libc_cv_localedir.
[native-search-paths]: Use 'GUIX_LOCPATH' instead of 'LOCPATH'.
(glibc-locales, glibc-utf8-locales): Write to a VERSION
sub-directory.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc)[native-search-paths]: Add
'lib/locale/VERSION' for 'GUIX_LOCPATH'.
(glibc-locales, glibc-utf8-locales): Write to a VERSION
sub-directory.
* guix/profiles.scm (ca-certificate-bundle): Adjust LOCPATH value
accordingly.
* gnu/packages/patches/glibc-guix-locpath.patch: New file.
* gnu-system.am (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc)[source]: Use it.
[native-search-paths]: Use 'GUIX_LOCPATH' instead of 'LOCPATH'.
* doc/guix.texi (Application Setup): Introduce the term "foreign
distro". Document 'GUIX_LOCPATH'.
* gnu/packages/patches/glibc-locale-incompatibility.patch: New file.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc)[source]: Use it.
* gnu-system.am (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc)[arguments]: Append VERSION to
'libc_cv_localedir'.
* gnu/system/locale.scm (localedef-command): Write to the sub-directory
called (package-version libc) in #$output.
(locale-directory): Create said directory.
* doc/guix.texi (Locales): Mention the per-version sub-directory.
Apply the recommended formatting rules from '.dir-locals.el' to the
examples in the manual in order to fulfill it's purpose of being a
reference.
* doc/package-hello.scm: Indent it.
* doc/guix.texi (Defining Packages, Version Numbers): Likewise.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (hello): Be consistent with the manual.
This works around <http://bugs.gnu.org/21460>.
* gnu/packages/patches/coreutils-racy-tail-test.patch: New file.
* gnu-system.am (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (coreutils): Use it.
* gnu/packages/patches/glibc-o-largefile.patch: New file.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc)[source]: Add it to 'patches'.
* gnu-system.am (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
This avoids problems when installing 'glibc' in a profile, where glibc's
limited 'bash' would take precedence over the valid 'bash'.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc)[arguments]: Do not copy STATIC-BASH to
OUT/bin. Instead, simply refer to it directly.
[inputs]: Use STATIC-BASH instead of BASH-LIGHT.
* gnu/packages/commencement.scm (static-bash-for-glibc): Likewise.
(glibc-final)[arguments]: Add STATIC-BASH-FOR-GLIBC to
#:allowed-references.
(gcc-final)[arguments]: Likewise.
[native-inputs]: Add "static-bash".
Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/20597>.
Reported by Andrew Patterson <ajpatter@uwaterloo.ca>.
* gnu/packages/patches/tar-skip-unreliable-tests.patch: New file.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (tar)[source](patches): Add it.
* gnu-system.am (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
* gnu/packages/patches/findutils-localstatedir.patch: New file.
* gnu-system.am (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (findutils)[source]: Use it.
[arguments]: Pass --localstatedir=/var.
This fixes a bug whereby the libc.mo files were not installed, and thus
translations of libc's messages were not available.
* gnu/packages/commencement.scm (gettext-boot0): New variable.
(glibc-final)[native-inputs]: New field.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc)[native-inputs]: Add GNU-GETTEXT.
* gnu/packages/ld-wrapper.scm: Use @SELF@ instead of $0. This is so
that the .go file is found even when the wrapper is invoked via a
symlink to it.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (make-ld-wrapper): Substitute @SELF@.
