Hi, Investigating [0], I note that, for these 2 commits,
$ git log --oneline 4b1538e6ef^..ab0cf06244 ab0cf06244 gnu: rust: Remove #:rust ,rust-1.52 arguments. 4b1538e6ef gnu: kexec-tools: Fix build on i686-linux. where the latter is simply the parent of the former, $ git cat-file -p ab0cf06244 | grep parent parent 4b1538e6ef76bf46993f0a368a0abbe2f6eb8ffb then the version of OpenBLAS is different. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ guix time-machine --commit=ab0cf06244 -- show openblas | recsel -P version 0.3.18 $ guix time-machine --commit=4b1538e6ef -- show openblas | recsel -P version 0.3.9 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The update to 0.3.18 from 0.3.13 is done by bd771edd6c, and as far I see, there is no merge around; from bd771edd6c to ab0cf06244, all are direct parents. Sadly, it is not possible to time-machine to bd771edd6c (Update to 0.3.18) because an unrelated error ((value "Unbound variable: ~S") (value (rust-1.51))). For some commits between this range, the time-machine is also raising an error because (value "Unbound variable: ~S") (value (rust-1.52)). Anyway, another story. :-) What is really weird is: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ cd $CHECKOUT $ git show 4b1538e6ef:gnu/packages/maths.scm \ | grep -n -A 5 'define-public openblas' 4402:(define-public openblas 4403- (package 4404- (name "openblas") 4405- (version "0.3.18") 4406- (source 4407- (origin -- 4486:(define-public openblas-ilp64 4487- (package/inherit openblas 4488- (name "openblas-ilp64") 4489- (supported-systems '("x86_64-linux" "aarch64-linux" "mips64el-linux")) 4490- (arguments 4491- (substitute-keyword-arguments (package-arguments openblas) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- For 4b1538e6ef the version should be 0.3.18 but then: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ guix time-machine --commit=4b1538e6ef -- show openblas name: openblas version: 0.3.9 outputs: out systems: x86_64-linux i686-linux dependencies: cunit@2.1-3 gfortran@7.5.0 perl@5.30.2 location: gnu/packages/maths.scm:3655:2 homepage: https://www.openblas.net/ license: Modified BSD synopsis: Optimized BLAS library based on GotoBLAS description: OpenBLAS is a BLAS library forked from the GotoBLAS2-1.13 BSD version. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Other said, the package defined in /gnu/store/…-guix-4b1538e6e-modules/share/guile/site/3.0/gnu/packages does not match the version is the checkout.
