Not quite. Initially, core-updates was for updates of the core packages,
that is, those that you can currently see being built on the core-updates
branch of hydra. With the lack of performance of hydra, we ended up putting
more and more packages requiring large rebuilds into that branch.

Often, we also just add a feature branch (something-update) and have it
built on hydra, especially also in cases where it is unclear how much we
break by the update, to make sure that master remains in a workable state.

After the hydra machine crashed, the FSF sysadmins switched to a more powerful
set-up, and right now, we can tolerate a larger package churn. In case of
doubt when updating a package requiring larger rebuilds, we can also have it
depend on the current load on hydra towards which branch we push.

Should this not be pushed to core-updates? `guix refresh -l` reports:

That's kind of on the edge of what's acceptable for master, as long as 
hydra isn't already overloaded, which it wasn't in this case.



That will take a while on Hydra, and in the mean time anyone trying to

It's already finished rebuilding those dependents.


Unless there is a security issue, isn't this exactly what core-updates
is for?


Indeed, but for security updates grafts are preferable.


Is `guix refresh recursive`?


Yes.

Should this not be pushed to core-updates? `guix refresh -l` reports:

Building the following 190 packages would ensure 395 dependent packages
are rebuilt: [...]

That will take a while on Hydra, and in the mean time anyone trying to
install any dependent (or sub-dependent) package will have to compile
them locally.

Unless there is a security issue, isn't this exactly what core-updates
is for? Is `guix refresh recursive`? Many of the sub-depentents seem
like they have other dependents, affecting more than 10% of the tree.

As far as I recall, the only breakages besides mysql that I experienced
were due to reasons outside of the boost upgrade.  I'll try to find my
notes from those builds...

Given that this upgrade forces a rebuild of libreoffice, should it be
applied to core-updates?


For my own sanity, I rebased this patch onto master and tried building

boost has quite a few dependencies, as Ricardo already pointed out, and in my
experience tends to be a bit fragile. So maybe the best option would be to
create a boost-update branch and have it built on hydra to see whether there
are problems. It not, one could then cherry-pick the commit to master.

We do make changes that affect libreoffice on the master branch, at
least so far.

It looks like an upgrade to 1.61.0 causes a build failure for MySQL:

-- BUILD OUTPUT LOG FOR MYSQL 
--

-- BOOST_VERSION_NUMBER is #define BOOST_VERSION 106100
CMake Warning at cmake/boost.cmake:266 (MESSAGE):
  Boost minor version found is 61 we need 60

-- MySQL currently requires boost_1_60_0

CMake Error at cmake/boost.cmake:81 (MESSAGE):
  You can download it with -DDOWNLOAD_BOOST=1 -DWITH_BOOST=
 END BUILD OUTPUT LOG FOR MYSQL 



So I guess the impact is too large to just go for it.

Do we have a Guix command to find out which packages are dependent on
a package (in this case Boost)?

Kind regards,
Roel Janssen

I've already hacked mysql to require 1.60.0 instead of 1.59.0, its worth
checking out if changing it to require 1.61.0 works also. Unfortunately
my current machine only has 2 GB of ram and a spinning hard drive so I
can't realiably build mysql.

You could use “guix refresh -l boost”.  This gives 190 packages with 395
dependent packages that would need to be rebuilt additionally.

It looks like an upgrade to 1.61.0 causes a build failure for MySQL:

-- BUILD OUTPUT LOG FOR MYSQL --
-- BOOST_VERSION_NUMBER is #define BOOST_VERSION 106100
CMake Warning at cmake/boost.cmake:266 (MESSAGE):
  Boost minor version found is 61 we need 60
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:455 (INCLUDE)


-- BOOST_INCLUDE_DIR /gnu/store/...fzzl-boost-1.61.0/include
-- LOCAL_BOOST_DIR 
-- LOCAL_BOOST_ZIP 
-- Could not find (the correct version of) boost.
-- MySQL currently requires boost_1_60_0

CMake Error at cmake/boost.cmake:81 (MESSAGE):
  You can download it with -DDOWNLOAD_BOOST=1 -DWITH_BOOST=
 END BUILD OUTPUT LOG FOR MYSQL 

So I guess the impact is too large to just go for it.

Do we have a Guix command to find out which packages are dependent on
a package (in this case Boost)?

Kind regards,
Roel Janssen

[PATCH] gnu: boost: Update to 1.61.0.

[Roel Janssen]

Dear Guix,

I don't know what the impact of the following upgrade is, but I think it
would be good to update Boost to the latest stable version that was
released on May 13th, 2016.

What do you think?

Kind regards,
Roel Janssen
