[PATCH 0/2] gnu: racket: Update to 8.14.

Hi,

The first patch here updates Racket to 8.14.

Efraim, the second patch is the reason I'm CC'ing you in particular: I hadn't

noticed your commit 0c96f7932de50c81f4b4714f287520699107c8bb until now. The

native trv64le backend is definitely supported for riscv64-linux (it is

working in the Debian packaging, for example [1]), so whatever problem you

encountered is almost certainly a bug either in the Guix packaging or in some

unusual pathway of Racket's build scripts that we're excercising. Do you have

any details about the error you got? Does it still happen with the proposed

revert? Unfortunately I don't have riscv64 hardware myself.

Thanks,

Philip

Native code generation for riscv64-linux is supported:

this commit masked a bug somewhere in our packaging or the build

modes we're using.

This reverts commit 0c96f7932de50c81f4b4714f287520699107c8bb.

Hi Ashish,

Thanks for sending https://issues.guix.gnu.org/72742!

I had in fact sent essentially the same patch in https://issues.guix.gnu.org/72582; it's just waiting for someone to review and merge it. I'm CC'ing a few people who might be able to take a look.

In 72582 I also sent a commit reverting 0c96f7932de50c81f4b4714f287520699107c8bb, which merely masked an underlying problem on riscv64-linux, for reasons I explained in the cover letter there. If no one has time or hardware to look into the riscv situation, it's of course fine to just apply the commit with the update to 8.14 and address riscv in a separate issue (which arguably I should have done in the first place ...).

Thanks,

Philip McGrath

Hi Philip,

Looking at CI, there appears to be no meaningful difference except that

previously unknown packages have since become blocked – for what

appears to be completely unrelated reasons, e.g. missing disk space[1].

So while the CI situation for riscv is "we don't know", at the very

least we could push the update that's already built.

Cheers

I've gone ahead and pushed these patches as

14e3b08f0012269984b26729f476a7cd1c1ec3bc. The build farm is slowly

catching up with riscv64-linux, so hopefully we'll be able to test

things more systematically soon.

Thanks,
