[PATCH] gnu: %bootstrap-coreutils&co: Patch egrep/fgrep to point to the correct grep.

Hello everyone,

Commit 653add37af10b0d5dbc20c8bc7ce30eec8cf4ae7 patches egrep/fgrep to point to the location of grep.

But the problem is that when it was run on Hurd, the path for grep in egrep/fgrep had this form:

/gnu/store/eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-grep-2.25/bin/grep

The above was not being substituted and caused the build to fail. So I changed the pattern to

"/[^ ]+/bin/grep" and now the path is always replaced.

Also (getcwd) returns the current path which the build takes place. This happens to be /tmp/guix-build-..-bootstrap-binaries-0.

This is wrong because it should point to the final place in /gnu/store. That why I am using "out".

Thank you,

Manolis

I also pushed a patch that patched the generated [e|f]grep to not have the path inserted into it, so the aarch64 bootstrap binaries have:

#!/bin/sh

exec grep -F...

I think we're going to have to find a way that works for both architectures. I tried using (%current-target) but I couldn't get it to work inside the snippet.

While that is probably better, in the end it doesn't really matter I believe, when I ran 'find /gnu -name fgrep -execdir cat {} +' it showed both bash and grep pointing to the bootstrap binaries.

@Manolis: Does this problem still exist with all the new Hurd work from

Janneke and Co?

Hi Manolis,

I am doing bug triage and I hit this one [1].

Is it still relevant after the work by janneke among many others? And

Judging that the Hurd, aarch64 and powerpc are all have Guix working on

them I assume it's working well enough that we can close this bug.
