Hi Oleg, thank you very much for this work!


> +(define (serialize-repository-cgit-configuration x)
> +  (serialize-configuration x repository-cgit-configuration-fields))

'url' needs to be the first setting specified for each repo.  I think
you could use something like this to make sure it is:

(define (serialize-repository-cgit-configuration x)
  (define (rest? field)
    (not (eq? (configuration-field-name field) 'url)))
  (let ((url (repository-cgit-configuration-url x))
        (rest (filter rest? repository-cgit-configuration-fields)))
    (serialize-repo-string 'url url)
    (serialize-configuration x rest)))

The same mechanism could be used for 'snapshots' and 'source-filter',
according to the Archlinux link you provided.

> +              (uglify-field-name field-name)
> +              (car val) (cadr val))))

I think 'match' is better than 'car' and 'cadr' because it names things.

> +                       '() val))))


Maybe you could use 'match' instead of 'car' and 'cadr'?  And I think
'x' and 'xs' are not very clear.  Also, isn't 'map' more natural than
'fold'?  I'd use something like this:

(define (serialize-mimetype-alist-clem field-name val)
  (format #t "# Mimetypes\n~a"
          (string-join
           (map (match-lambda
                  ((extension mimetype)
                   (format #f "~a=~a" (symbol->string extension) mimetype)))
                val) "\n")))

Another advantage is that the order won't be inverted.

      ^--- Extra space here (because of 'def' being interpreted by your
           text editor I reckon).

I think the official project uses 'cgit' instead of 'Cgit' (there are
other occurrences where you use 'Cgit').

> +(define-configuration cgit-configuration

     ^--- There is one extra space here (because package is interpreted
          by your text editor I reckon).

I think you forgot the closing parenthesis inside the comment.

I believe it would be clearer if it was named the same way cgit names
it: scan-path.

I forgot one thing: 'project-list' is a file, not a list of strings.  I
agree it's weird that cgit's documentation doesn't say it's a file.  I
see two solutions:

1. Change the type to 'string', so that people can set a file name.

2. Use a list type that would transparently transform its values into a
   file in the store, with the generated cgitrc file pointing to it.

The second solution is better because the user won't need to create the
file.

Also, could you add a way to use an opaque configuration file?  It would
be helpful for users who don't have time to update their configuration,
or in case there are new cgit configurations that are not yet
implemented by the Scheme service.

Thank you :-)

However, simple reordering fields in (define-configuration …) works.
I reordered in attached patch.  Is it good enough?

Sorry, it's not clear for me.  As I understand from CGITRC(5) it's a
list like:

    project-list=/share/cgit/cgit.png /share/cgit/cgit.jpg

relative to /srv/git (in our case).

I choose 1st for now, because 2nd I don't understand what need to be
produced at the end.  Could you give me an example?

Sure.

Is the following order is OK?

    (serialize-configuration
     (cgit-configuration
      (extra-options (list "soo=do"))
      (repositories (list
                     (repository-cgit-configuration
                      (module-link-path '("/super/cow" "moo"))
                      (extra-options (list "goo=foo"))))))
     cgit-configuration-fields)

    …
    repo.extra-options=goo=foo
    extra-options=soo=do
    # END OF FILE


Also I need to mention that this patch probably will broke system
reconfigure and require update /etc/config.scm.

It didn't work because you didn't call the
'serialize-repository-cgit-configuration' function.  With this snippet,
it will be called:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(serialize-configuration
 (cgit-configuration
  (repositories
   (list
    (repository-cgit-configuration
     (url "http://cgit.magnolia.local")
     (source-filter "la")))))
 cgit-configuration-fields)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I'm not sure which way is the best.  I tend to prefer a hard coded logic
because it will prevent bugs if later people forget about the order and
add fields at the wrong place.  If you stick with depending on the
fields order, then could you add very clear comments so that people
don't add fields at the wrong place?  WDYT?

At least it should be possible to grep 'scan_path' in the documentation,
so that users can easily find what to use instead of 'scan-path'.  Could
you say 'scan_path' is the original name in the docstring?

CGITRC isn't clear.  It's really a file containing the list of git
directories.  For example:

/etc/cgit/project-list:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
a/b/foo.git
c/bar.git
baz.git
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And

project-list=/etc/cgit/project-list

With 2nd, users would write a configuration like

(project-list '("a/b/foo.git"
                "c/bar.git"
                "baz.git"))

And 'guix system reconfigure' would create the file
/gnu/store/xxxxxxx-project-list containing those three lines.  The
generated cgitrc file would contain:

project-list=/gnu/store/xxxxxxx-project-list

You could use a type whose serializer would call the 'plain-file'
procedure.

I was more thinking about something like in the Dovecot service where
you can pass the whole file as a string.

Yes, of course :-)

Hello Clément,

apologies for such a long pause.  I tried to implement all we talked
about, but I kinda stuck.  What do you think about merging and not hold
it more for a small issue with project-list?  The patch is attached.

The test suite succeeds:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
./pre-inst-env env GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH= make check-system TESTS=cgit
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I think we could stick with ordering fields and comments.

I'll add a note commentary about order at the head of the file.

I think not only, because we have Cgit everywhere in the current
documentation.

Good idea, thank you!  I'll add a '(represents @code{scan-path})' to the
description of the 'repository-directory' field.

Will be in a TODO list until I get more familiar with Guix or somebody

Then it should be changed to 'cgit', there is no need to copy
documentation mistakes :-).  This is an example of commit from Ludovic
where he doesn't capitalize 'zlib':
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=06e3a5181efa0ea83bb6608d3cbfba5caa56d7e9.

It's actually more complicated than I thought, because file-like objects
can't be serialized as strings.  So the serialization mechanism would
need to be a bit reworked, so that it uses lists instead of strings, but
it could be done later.

I guess the most sensible thing to do is to comment the 'project-list'
field, with a TODO note, explaining that cgit expects a file name that
should be created from a list of strings provided by the user.

I forgot to say that apart from this it looks good to me, so I think you
can push!

OK.  Also I see in cgit README [1], they use “cgit” even in titles.

On the other hand it feels wrong to me, because it's a name of the
program, like Guile, Guix, Linux or Emacs.  It might be better to stick
to that convention for readability (e.g. not ‘cgit’ as a command or a
file name, but as a project name “Cgit”).  And because of we rename even
configuration options like ‘scan-path’, it's OK to force the
capitalization also.  WDYT?

Our convention is to follow upstream convention.  Guile, Linux, Emacs
are all capitalized upsteam, which is why they are capitalized in Guix
documentation.  It's up to the upstream project to choose.

Plus, cgit seems to pay a lot of attention to it.  See, the title is:
    cgit - CGI for Git
And then:
    Building cgit involves building a proper version of Git.

Clearly they acknowledge that Git is capitalized (because upstream
decided so), but cgit is not.

So I think we should not capitalize it :-)

Agreed.  (Though again we should not lose our hair over it.  :-))
