Subject: [PATCH] gnu: Add yarn
Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2018 13:57:02 +0000

Hello,

This patch adds yarn as a Guix package.
This is my first patch so I hope this is the correct way of doing it.
Inspired by the nix package:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/b37872d4268164614e3ecef6e1f730d48cf5a90f/pkgs/development/tools/yarn/default.nix#L23

Hi,
I forgot to include the change to the gnu/local.mk file.
Please ignore my previous patch and replace it with this one.

Thanks

Hey Andrea,

The yarn tarball in your package is not the actual source code of
yarn; it seems to be an aggregation of multiple javascript files if I
am not mistaken, generated by other tools.

A cursory glance at both package.json and yarn.lock indicates that to
build yarn from source, we need access to at least some of gulp,
webpack and babel. I assume these tools are non-trivial to package, so
perhaps someone else has a workable solution for now.

Hi Jelle,
thank for the review.

The tarball comes from the official releases page of yarn:
https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/releases
I followed the same process of the nix package:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/1a4498d1328e8dd74a8099f16972224c87d01358/pkgs/development/tools/yarn/default.nix#L23

I thought it was an acceptable way of packaging this software.

Is there a policy in Guix about this that I need to follow?

Thanks

Nix doesn't commit to offer only free software, for one.

> Is there a policy in Guix about this that I need to follow?

The policy for GNU Guix is that of the GNU Free Software Distribution
Guidelines (FSDG) [0].  We also typically do the utmost to fully
bootstrap things from sources, compared to other distributions.

Its seems the issues raised by Jelle are blocking progress on this
package submission.  Babel seems a complicated piece of software that
will take some effort to get packaged in Guix.

I'll close this ticket as it is not actionable and probably won't be in
the near future.

Please resubmit when the missing packages to fully build from sources
have been added.

Thank you!

Maxim
