---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Lo Peter <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Jul 13, 2021 at 10:38 PM Subject: SSH in git-fetch To: <[email protected]>
Dear all, I am experimenting with writing a package definition for an example R package (https://github.com/jennybc/foofactors) in a PRIVATE channel, where the R source is also at a PRIVATE github repository. While the private channel works with proper setup of SSH key (that needs to be in PEM format due to a bug in libssh2), I am having trouble with the private git repository for package source. Is it that git-fetch does not support fetching over SSH? The package definition I have is: (define-module (my-packages r-pkgs) #:use-module ((guix licenses) #:prefix license:) #:use-module (guix packages) #:use-module (guix download) #:use-module (guix git-download) #:use-module (guix utils) #:use-module (guix build-system r) #:use-module (gnu packages) #:use-module (gnu packages statistics)) (define-public r-foofactors (let ((commit "ef71e8d2e82fa80e0cfc249fd42f50c01924326d") (revision "1")) (package (name "r-foofactors") (version (git-version "0.0.0.9000" revision commit)) (source (origin (method git-fetch) (uri (git-reference (url "[email protected]:peterloleungyau/foofactors.git") (commit commit))) (file-name (git-file-name name version)) (sha256 (base32 "1hmfwac2zdl8x6r21yy5b257c4891106ana4j81hfn6rd0rl9f72")))) (build-system r-build-system) (propagated-inputs `(("r-forcats" ,r-forcats))) (home-page "https://github.com/jennybc/foofactors";) (synopsis "A R package to make factors less aggravating.") (description "Factors have driven people to extreme measures, like ordering custom conference ribbons and laptop stickers to express how HELLNO we feel about stringsAsFactors. And yet, sometimes you need them. Can they be made less maddening? Let's find out.") (license license:expat)))) Note that I have cloned the original public repository to my private repository (for testing purpose). I have added the package definition to my local ~/to_keep/projects/my-guix-pkgs/my-packages/r-pkgs.scm Then I test building it locally with $ guix build -L ~/to_keep/projects/my-guix-pkgs/ r-foofactors The following derivations will be built: /gnu/store/gnzw26jl9vw3z10cdnpcahd67zlf1ziy-r-foofactors-0.0.0.9000-1.ef71e8d.drv /gnu/store/2l35rb0s5fjk1v8vczir6cp6lfmbbf12-r-foofactors-0.0.0.9000-1.ef71e8d-checkout.drv building /gnu/store/2l35rb0s5fjk1v8vczir6cp6lfmbbf12-r-foofactors-0.0.0.9000-1.ef71e8d-checkout.drv... guile: warning: failed to install locale environment variable `PATH' set to `/gnu/store/378zjf2kgajcfd7mfr98jn5xyc5wa3qv-gzip-1.10/bin:/gnu/store/sf3rbvb6iqcphgm1afbplcs72hsywg25-tar-1.32/bin' hint: Using 'master' as the name for the initial branch.

Is it that git-fetch does not support fetching over SSH? I would like to prompt the use of Guix for per-project management in my small team of data scientists, so we would need a private channel for a few internal R packages. The above problem is a real blocker. Any help is greatly appreciated. Regards, Peter Lo
