Hi,

Thanks for the patch. I've also written a package definition like this,

which works, but isn't yet suitable for inclusion in Guix, because it

misrepresents the dependencies/inputs.

Terraform has a number of dependencies, but this package does

not. Properly packaging it for Guix will require packaging those

dependencies, then making a package definition which actually uses those

dependencies.

I'm hopeful that the recent progress with importers for Go packages will

help with this, but I haven't checked myself, maybe you can take a look?

Thanks,

Chris

(there's also some Terraform related discussion here

https://issues.guix.info/30806)

Hi there. Thanks for the explanation.

I didn't inspect the dependencies of Terraform itself. I just tried

using the "go-build-system" and tested the resulting binary.

I'll check the linked discussions to better understand and further

investigate.

Interestingly, the package compiled successfully and the final binary

was generated. I didn't test any functionality, though.

I wonder if the compilation should have failed, instead. I'll try the

package again and see if it is actually working.

I looked into the issue you pointed, and my package definition was

smaller and simpler, indeed. But those didn't seem to produce a binary

at the end. I wonder if mine worked because I used a newer version.

Now I get it: the Terraform repo used to vendor all of its dependencies,

and has just stopped doing it recently [0].

But the release tarball still contains all of the vendored dependencies.

I'm still not sure if that is deliberate, or just left over from the

previous model of vendoring everything from the source code repository

itself.

I'll check if the vendoring on the release tarball is deliberate now,

and start packaging the dependencies as Christopher sugested.

The commit [0] that removed the vendoring was done in September 24th,

and the release of v0.13.5 [1] was done in October 21st.

However the release of v0.13.5 was a backport, and didn't include the

commit that removed the vendoring. Only v0.14.0-rc1 (the current latest

release) onwards that has removed the vendoring.

So the "go-build-system" just worked because all of the dependencies

were already there. Switching to v0.14.0-rc1 should probably break the

build, and require the dependencies to be packaged individually.

It does break, I'll start doing it.

It would probably be better to work on a golang importer, and I'm more

inclined to do that to package Terraform instead of packaging every

dependency manually.

This will take a bit more work than I initially planned for, but I'm

still up for it.

There is a Go importer on the patch tracker:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/44178

Two even, if you follow the URLs!

It should make things a little easier. :-)

Hmm, that is great! Thanks for the reference!

It certainly makes things a little easier.
