Subject: gnupg update to 2.4.7 causing guix build -K seahorse to fail
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2025 17:52:46 +0100

Hello,

I believe the commit:
  64d95c78e3 2024-12-29 gnu: gnupg: Update to 2.4.7.
causes guix build --keep-failed seahorse to fail. The build log shows:

../seahorse-43.0/meson.build:52:22: ERROR: Command
`/tmp/guix-build-seahorse-43.0.drv-0/seahorse-43.0/build-aux/gpg_check_version.py
/gnu/store/bsp4vbhqpzajsdmg2k21l1lalainqasd-gnupg-2.4.7/bin/gpg 2.2.0
2.3.0` failed with status 1.

When rerun on my system, I get:
/tmp/guix-build-seahorse-43.0.drv-0/seahorse-43.0/build-aux/gpg_check_version.py
/gnu/store/bsp4vbhqpzajsdmg2k21l1lalainqasd-gnupg-2.4.7/bin/gpg 2.2.0
2.3.0
2.4.7

From casually looking at gpg_check_version.py, it appears to check
whether the available GPG version is between 2.2.0 and 2.3.0, so 2.4.7
fails that check.

Cheers
Bost

Thanks for the report!

I cloned the seahorse Git repository:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/seahorse

Then, I grepped for the string "2.3.0". The only match is in
'meson.build'.

Guix includes seahorse version 43.0. I checked the Git log of
Seahorse's 'meson.build' since version 43.0, and found this interesting
commit:

------
$ git log 43.0..HEAD meson.build
[...]
commit 9260c74779be3d7a378db0671af862ffa3573d42
Author: Xi Ruoyao <xry111 <at> xry111.site>
Date:   Wed Dec 21 20:58:26 2022 +0800

    Allow building with GnuPG-2.4.x
------

This commit is included in Seahorse 47.0 and later versions. Hopefully
that helps!

Thanks Leo. In theory, the fix should be straightforward (see
attachment). However, we need to be careful:

$ guix search ^seahorse\$ | grep synopsis
synopsis: Manage encryption keys and passwords in the GNOME keyring

Cheers,

Can you check if the new version of Seahorse provided by your patch
works on your GNOME system?  Sometimes GNOME software is very tightly
coupled, sometimes it might work to update things like this.

And if it doesn't work, we can try just relaxing the version
constraints. There are no relevant code changes in Seahorse before they relaxed
the GnuPG version constraint. They simply released version 43.0,
aupdated some translations, adjusted some variable names related to SSH,
and then allowed GnuPG 2.4.*:

------
$ git log 43.0..9260c747 --oneline
9260c747 Allow building with GnuPG-2.4.x
8e43721e Update Russian translation
3c33ab1f Update Belarusian translation
6170a9bc Add Interlingue translation
d12f2330 Update Dutch translation
6d673637 ssh: avoid stdout and stderr variable names
------

There's actually very few code changes between Seahorse 43 and 47,
overall.

Consider it done.

I independently (re)discovered this and made sure that it runs in my
current GNOME desktop :)

Cheers
