[PATCH core-updates] Fix criu and sssd
(address . guix-patches@gnu.org)
87ildm3zf6.fsf@psyduck.jhoto.kublai.com
The version of ‘python-setuptools’ in core-updates can't compress
files that pre-date 1980. This patch adds a procedure ‘(@ (guix
utils) change-file-timestamps-recursively)’ which can be added to
a packaging phase to set the atime and mtime to whatever you want.

I've taken that and applied it to both ‘criu’ and ‘sssd’, which
are the two packages I've noticed so far with this problem, but it
can be pretty safely assumed there are more. Unfortunately, I
couldn't see a way to find affected packages automatically,

[PATCH 2/4] guix: utils: add `change-file-timestamps-recursively' procedure
(address . 63044@debbugs.gnu.org)(name . Brian Cully)(address . bjc@spork.org)
ae03b02637a1f410c778baf2a8c8e21cb6fc0971.1682299133.git.bjc@spork.org
There are some packages which use the zip library in `python-setuptools' which
will error and fail to build if it finds files with timestamps before 1980.

Create a new procedure which will update the atime and mtime fields of a
directory to a date and time specified in UTC.

After some discussion on IRC, I think it makes more sense to fix this
issue directly in python-setuptools, rather than having packages pull in
(guix build), or having the code copied directly into each affected
package.

I'll update this issue soon with a patch for python-setuptools.

This fixes errors when packing Python eggs, where ZipFile fails due to Guix
setting file timestamps to 0 epoch seconds, where ZipFile wants all files to

Scratch this last patch, since it requires updating python itself, which
requires a huge amount of rebuilding.

I'll send an updated patch which “only” requires an update to
‘python-setuptools’. Since we're looking at updating that anyway, it
seems ok to me.

The packages I've had problems building can be fixed by explicitly
adding ‘python-toolchain’ or ‘python-setuptools’ to their native-inputs,
which should probably be there anyway.

That makes sense to me.

The Python team (Cc’d) is a small yet friendly and reliable group. :-)
What do you people think? Should this go into the ‘python-team’ branch?

We can have the branch built on ci.guix (or maybe qa.guix too) if
there’s consensus.

Thanks,

Hi,

is it correct that this change is required only for packages *not* using
python-build-system? python-build-system itself already has a phase
called ”ensure-no-mtimes-pre-1980“, which should fix the issue for
all Python packages. Can we use that phase for affected packages (two,
so far) and/or factor it out of python-build-system?

Cheers,
Lars

I've only run into the issue with ‘gnu-build-system’, and your
explanation that ‘python-build-system’ has an extra phase would
explain why.

As for factoring it out of ‘python-build-system’, I gave this two
attempts, but there didn't seem to be any good place for it; (guix
build utils) caused the entire world to be rebuilt, and (guix
utils) got me chided in IRC, though I don't know what the
rationale was.

But given the fact that the date check will always fail, it makes
sense to me to cut the problem at the source, hence the current
version of this patch. It does cause a lot of rebuilding, as well,
of course, but we're looking at a pretty big rebuild due to Python
changes in the near future anyway to fix the issue with
Yubikeys. My intention was for this patch to get bundled up with
that.

Note that I have no idea what the true scope of the problem is,
these are just the packages I had issues with because I install
‘lxd’ and ‘autofs’. I don't have the guix-fu to check every
package that uses either ‘python’, ‘python-tool-chain’, or
‘python-setuptools’ but isn't already using one of the python
build systems.

Hi Ludo,

I don't think there is a Python branch yet from what I see in the current branches.

Should someone be creating it?

I might have missed the memo on team branches and the protocols we are following for creating those.

I'll try looking for it in the mailing list soon when I find some time.

all best,

Oh got it. So yes, your proposal makes a lot of sense to me, Lars.

The way to do that is to add (guix build python-build-system) to
#:imported-modules and #:modules in those packages, and then to use
‘modify-phases’ to add that ‘ensure-no-mtimes-pre-1980’ phase to those
of ‘gnu-build-system’.

How does that sound, Brian?

We have similar shenanigans for other packages that use a primary build
system but need stuff from another one.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

That sounds reasonable to me. I'll update the ticket in a bit with

This turns out to be trickier than it first appears:

For one thing, ‘ensure-no-mtimes-pre-1980’ isn't exported from
(guix build python-build-system). I can use ‘@@’ to reference it,
but that seems less-than-ideal.

A larger problem is that ‘ensure-no-mtimes-pre-1980’ has a bug: it
blindly tries to change the utime of files even if they're
symlinks, which raises an “operation not permitted”
exception. It's easy enough to fix this, but since it changes
‘python-build-system’, it causes a tremendous amount of
rebuilding.

I'm not sure how to proceed. The bug with the build system should
certainly be fixed, but it'll be disruptive. Until then, at least
‘criu’ will remain broken — though ‘sssd’ is now building
correctly with the new phase.

This is the patch:

Yes. I’m surprised we didn’t hit a problem before, despite having
thousands of Python packages. Can we work around it for the one package
that hits that bug? (Until a fix like you propose lands.)

If you can use @@ to get at ‘ensure-no-mtimes-pre-1980’, I’d still
suggest to do that for ‘criu’.

Does that make sense? Or am I overlooking something?

Yeah, I've given up trying to do this the “right” way. See #63149
for an updated patch that just copies in the ensure-mtime
procedure with a change to check for symlinks.

This is what I've done for ‘sssd’, see #63091. For ‘criu’, see
above.

I’m going to include this patch in the python-team branch. We’re
looking at a massive rebuild due to #63139 anyways, as you said. In
theory there’s nothing wrong with patching setuptools like this, but
I’d like to avoid it, because that substitute* can just break silently
in the future.

Cheers,
Lars
