[core-updates] Inferiors cannot reference master branch

Hello,

On the 'core-updates' branch, if you try to reference the 'master'
branch in an inferior, your system will fail to build like so:

Here is a manifest that reproduces this failure:
(use-modules (guix channels) (guix inferior) (srfi srfi-1)) (define channels (list (channel (name 'guix) (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git") (commit "dec845606d2d184da31065fa26cd951b84b3ce2d")))) (define inferior (inferior-for-channels channels)) (packages->manifest (first (lookup-inferior-packages inferior "hello")))

‘packages->manifest’ expects a list, so I had to remove the call to ‘first’.

But then it works for me on both ‘core-updates’ and ‘master’:

Whoops... It still fails in the same way for me without the (first ...).

I have included a system configuration that works fine on 'master' but
not on 'core-updates'. It consistently fails to `guix system build`
across multiple machines, including "berlin".
(use-modules (gnu) (gnu system nss) (guix inferior) (guix channels) (srfi srfi-1)) (use-service-modules base) (define channels (list (channel (name 'guix) (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git") (commit "9b983086345557ac0a6a40c8cb3a2afd5250d3ee")))) (define inferior (inferior-for-channels channels)) (operating-system (host-name "antelope") (timezone "Europe/Paris") (locale "en_US.utf8") (kernel (first (lookup-inferior-packages "linux-libre"))) (bootloader (bootloader-configuration (bootloader grub-bootloader) (target "/dev/sda"))) (file-systems (cons (file-system (device "/dev/sda1") (mount-point "/") (type "ext4")) %base-file-systems)) (users %base-user-accounts) (packages %base-packages) (services %base-services))

Oh I see. This is fixed by cherry-picking
96783ed6275cd2818ff56916274e6e4582f1dc9b from ‘core-updates’ into
‘master’. Will push shortly.

Thank you!

On second thought, that doesn’t solve the problem for revisions on the
current ‘master’ branch between and
456c7ade095cce96f47389c37a4fe3b0390047fd and
7089f98ef1c274f1607ec314f3a16bd3c3ac89a4. For any commit in that range,
‘guix pull --commit=COMMIT’ will now always fail with:

It’s a case where code isn’t “forward-compatible”, and it’s code needed
to build the “compute-guix-derivation” trampoline. Bummer.

We could hack something to work around it. For example, we could add to
‘compiled-modules’ a magic parameter that would tell it to undefine
AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW & co., or we could build the trampoline with 2.2.4.

Problem is that we would potentially need to keep the hack forever.

Needs more thought…

I added a “quirk” for that in 37c0d4580e464a5915ea34109f78898325aae2c4.

I suppose we’ll accumulate quirks like this over time here. Normally
they should be quite rare because the code used to build the trampoline
targets the common denominator of all Guile and Guix revisions, but
we’ll see.
