Hi Adrien,

Sorry you had to go through this trouble!  But your workaround is pretty
impressive :-)  It's the way to go if you want to use the existing Guix
package definition with custom versions.

Note that you can inherit package definitions so that you (typically)
only have to override the source, instead of copying the whole thing.

Anyway, I went ahead and updated pygit2 to 0.26, which matches the
current libgit2 version and also is compatible with python-cffi-1.10.
Can you try to pull 'master' and see if it works for you?

Thanks for the report!

bug#28138: bug build python-pygit2 on guix 0.13

[Adrien Marin]

Hi, 

yesterday ,I updated guix and try to install my package's new version and the 
install fail because of pygit2 error. 

I've found a bug with the package python-pygit2 when I tried to build it: 

" #error You need a compatible libgit2 version (v0.25.x)" 

so I change in the definition of python-pygit2, in propagated input : 

("libgit2" ,libgit2) ---> ("libgit2-0.25.1" ,libgit2-0.25.1) 

and add the definition of libgit2-0.25.1 in my own package 



after that, i get another issue during the build of python-pygit2, during the 
check phase : 

>ERROR: test_describe_pattern (test.test_describe.DescribeTest)
>--
>Traceback (most recent call last):

so I looked the dependencies of python-pygit2 and saw that python-cffi changed 
version in guix 0.13 than my old version 

so I force the 1.4.2 version of python-cffi in the definition of pygit2 AND 
IT'S WORKING!! 


there is the definition of olds version for python-cffi and libgit2
