I see, but if you have the source =E2=80=98manifest.scm=E2=80=99, best prac=
tice is to
publish it.

You are free to disagree but it=E2=80=99s a fact.

Hmm yes, maybe =E2=80=98guix pack -m manifest.scm --save-provenance=E2=80=
=99 could
arrange to put =E2=80=98manifest.scm=E2=80=99 inside the pack, similar to h=

system reconfigure=E2=80=99 inserts =E2=80=98configuration.scm=E2=80=99 ins=

I=E2=80=99m all for it!

Thanks,

That would be helpful :)

Given an image generated with --save-provenance enabled, making it
easier for it to be reconstructed by another would certainly be useful.

We could save the command line too using another file. :-)

For --save-provenance, is your proposal that in addition to saving the
additional manifests, the commandline that was used would also be saved?

Yes, one might need. :-)

As I explained: =C2=AB That=E2=80=99s annoying in some context as =E2=80=9C=
guix pack
--save-provenance=E2=80=9D [1].  Even, it defeats the idea of a self-contai=
ned
reproducible binary container. =C2=BB

For sure, I understand it=E2=80=99s hard to capture this kind of transforma=
tion.
Still, an improvement appears to me possible (see below).

1: https://hpc.guix.info/blog/2021/10/when-docker-images-become-fixed-point


> It=E2=80=99s necessarily a lossy process.

This is where I disagree. :-) I mean, yes I agree that building
profile/manifest is somehow a lossy process because some Scheme is
potentially evaluated on the road.  However, I am proposing: Aside the
profile =E2=80=99manifest=E2=80=99 file (lossy process), we could store all=
 the
manifests provided by the command line.  Something as:

    /gnu/store/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-profile/manifest
    /gnu/store/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-profile/manifest.orig1
    /gnu/store/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-profile/manifest.orig2
    =E2=80=A6

where manifest.orig1 and manifest.orig2 are the copy of files =E2=80=99foo.=
scm=E2=80=99
and =E2=80=99bar.scm=E2=80=99 from:

    -m foo.scm -m bar.scm

This way, the option --export-manifest could be improved, eventually.

In other word, I think that saving as-is the manifests costs almost
nothing and it paves the way to more robust self-contained binary packs.

Well, maybe this extra work could be only done when there is an option
=E2=80=99--save-provenance=E2=80=99 applied.

> I would close it as not-a-bug; WDYT?

I still think it=E2=80=99s a feature that it=E2=80=99s possible to improve.

Cheers,
simon

=E2=80=98--export-manifest=E2=80=99 is meant to =E2=80=9Ctranslate=E2=80=9D=
 a command line, which it can
do faithfully; there=E2=80=99s no way it could possibly =E2=80=9Crecreate=
=E2=80=9D what
=E2=80=98manifest.scm=E2=80=99, which may contain arbitrary Scheme code (an=
d someone who
already has a =E2=80=98manifest.scm=E2=80=99 file probably doesn=E2=80=99t =
need
=E2=80=98--export-manifest=E2=80=99).

It=E2=80=99s necessarily a lossy process.  Some of the transformations
=E2=80=98manifest.scm=E2=80=99 uses may be recorded as metadata in manifest=
 entries, but
others, such as uses of =E2=80=98package-input-rewriting=E2=80=99 here, ine=
vitably get
lost.

I would close it as not-a-bug; WDYT?

Hi,

Well, this is incorrect.  While I understand the approximation when
dealing with profiles built over time in the imperative way, here I am
missing why the transformation of =E2=80=99r-ggplot2=E2=80=99 is skipped.  =
And even the
export manifest is broken.

It=E2=80=99s skipped because:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix shell -m manifest.scm
$ grep ggplot $GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/manifest
     ("my-ggplot"
      "/gnu/store/x0jbmvg0nbl7lyk8zd938rq2c7c9qkn4-my-ggplot-3.5.1"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Please note that if the symbol =E2=80=99r-ggplot2=E2=80=99 is not named =E2=
=80=9Cmy-ggplot=E2=80=9D but
kept as =E2=80=99r-ggplot2=E2=80=9C:

        (define r-ggplot2
          ((package-input-rewriting `((,r-knitr . ,r-knitr-other)))
              (specification->package "r-ggplot2")))

then the bug is maybe worse because the exported manifest =E2=80=9Cworks=E2=
=80=9D but
without the transformation=E2=80=A6 which can be misleading and hard to det=
ect.

Well, I understand it=E2=80=99s hard to capture this kind of transformation.
Still, it appears to me as an half-baked feature. :-)

That=E2=80=99s annoying in some context as =E2=80=9Cguix pack --save-proven=
ance=E2=80=9D [1].
Even, it defeats the idea of a self-contained reproducible binary
container. ;-)

Maybe, aside the profile =E2=80=99manifest=E2=80=99 file, we could store al=
l the
manifests provided by the command line.  Something as:

    /gnu/store/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-profile/manifest
    /gnu/store/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-profile/manifest.orig1
    /gnu/store/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-profile/manifest.orig2
    =E2=80=A6

where manifest.orig1 and manifest.orig2 are the copy of files =E2=80=99foo.=
scm=E2=80=99
and =E2=80=99bar.scm=E2=80=99 from:

    -m foo.scm -m bar.scm

This way, the option --export-manifest could be improved.

WDYT?

Cheers,
simon
