Please add a copyright header with your name and email address.

The scintilla library comes bundled with geany. Is it possible to

unbundle it?

Geany supports gtk3. Could you build with that?

Perhaps rewrite this as:

Geany is a small and fast Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that

only has a few dependencies on other packages and is as independent as

possible from special desktop environments like KDE or GNOME.

I think we should not mention this in the description, especially if we

are building with gtk3.

What is (full list) ?

LGTM otherwise, thanks!

Guix doesn't provide the scintilla library. I tried to package it, but

failed. I can send my latest attempt, if you want to give it a spin.

Meanwhile, I added this as a TODO in the package definition.

I don't know. I changed the description, and added more inputs to build

documentation.

Here is the updated patch. Let me know if you want the scintilla draft.

WDYT?

Do post your scintilla patch to this bug report and add a link to it in

the TODO comment. Perhaps it will be useful to someone working on it in

the future.

You are missing an import of (gnu packages python-xyz) for

Also, scintilla is released under the ISC license. Please include the

ISC license in the license field as well.

I actually packaged scintilla, but I failed unbundling it from Geany.

I attach the three patches I put up so far.

Since there is nothing more left in this bug report, I don't think it is

worthwhile to link to it.

Oh! Fixed. Thank you.

The scintilla package is not producing a shared library
(libscintilla.so). That is why you were not able to link it to geany. It
took a bit of substitute* surgery of the makefiles, but I managed to get
this working. Please see my attached patches. Ideally, we should get
scintilla and geany upstreams to support unbundling. Could you raise
these issues upstream?

The scintilla license is the ISC license. See

This can be done by specifying #:make-flags. No need to replace the

build phase.

The headers should be installed in /include, not in

/include/scintilla. The libraries should be installed in /lib, not in

/lib/scintilla.

The changes specified in the comments above are also included in the

attached patches. Please feel free to refine my patches as required.

Thanks!

I have bad news: see

https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/feature-requests/555/

It may not be worth to unbundle Scintilla, then.

Guix has no proper way to use inputs' static libraries in a package?

This doesn't look right. See https://www.scintilla.org/License.txt

This is not ISC.

Hmm I think I made the same mistake in nauty… because I saw another

packages doing it too. So there are at least 2 other packages in the

code base doing the same.

This isn't particularly bad news. In that thread, Scintilla has agreed

to allow an optional shared library build for people (like us) who

really want it. But, the issue has been closed because it has been many

years and no one has volunteered a patch.

I think we should go ahead with our unbundled shared library Scintilla

package. We could also contribute our work upstream to Scintilla and

they seem willing to accept it.

Toggle quote (2 lines)

> Guix has no proper way to use inputs' static libraries in a package?

We could make the static library scintilla package a native-input of
geany and add a phase copying the static library to the appropriate path
before building. Normally, static libraries embedded by upstream in the
source make it harder to update. If Guix controls the embedding, this
problem would admittedly cease to exist. But, I think we should still
prefer the shared library approach because shared libraries are more
efficient on disk and memory usage.

The wording of both these licenses are so similar that I would consider

them to be effectively the same. But, I am not a lawyer, and I can't

claim to know too much about copyright. Should we raise this question

with guix-devel?

Note that some packages like gsl put the headers in /include/gsl because

they are meant to be included, say as

#include <gsl/gsl_vector.h>

and not as

#include <gsl_vector.h>

So, the include headers install location is dependent on the package's

conventions.

As for nauty, their documentation specifies including as

#include <nauty.h>

So, the headers should be installed to /include.

Ok. Let's update our Scintilla package to 4.1.7. Shouldn't be a problem.

Scintilla has agreed to allow an optional shared library if there is

also zero maintenance on their side (even when their ABI breaks). Since

this would eventually require maintenance, the submitter dropped

their request.

OTOH, using the static library is possibly (I failed at that, too)

straightforward, in the sense that we would not patch Scintilla. It is

worth considering this, too.

In any case, I do not volunteer to contribute our work upstream as it is

still above my pay grade.

Scintilla's license has one more clause, but we can ask Guix devel.

OK. And what about the lib/, i.e., when should it be "/lib/name" instead

of "/lib/"

Indeed. Let's first sort out the issues around license (I'm going to

ask Guix devel about it) and bundling first.

I would prefer the shared library because it is more efficient on
memory/disk usage and it seems cleaner and more modular. However,
scintilla is a small library and is not used by too many packages,
therefore the advantages are small. Meanwhile, patching scintilla to
build a shared library is messy and using the static library would
indeed be easier. But, if we are using the static library, why should we
unbundle at all?

I don't know if Guix has a clear policy on these matters. I think we
should consult guix-devel and ask for others' opinions.

No problem, I understand.

I guess we should use the hpnd license now, as discussed in guix-devel.

I don't have as good an answer for this. A quick look at my
~/.guix-profile/lib shows almost all packages having their shared
libraries in /lib, not in /lib/name. And, just including scintilla in
geany's inputs and passing '-lscintilla' in geany_LDFLAGS was enough for
the linker to find libscintilla.so correctly. So, I assumed I had done
it right. :-P

Hi,

Just a friendly ping. Can we finish this package one way or the other --

with or without a bundled scintilla? Perhaps you can just leave a TODO

comment for someone to pick up on later. I'm just worried it's taking

too long for this relatively simple package.

Thanks,

Arun.

Here are the current patches, with all the discussed suggestions

integrated (IIRC), and Scintilla updated to its latest release.
