Subject: grafting breaks package idris2
Date: Sun, 4 May 2025 09:17:43 +0000
Dear all,

I'm working on the package idris2 [1]. ~guix install -L my-packages
--no-grafts idris2~ works and gives me a runnable idris2, c.f. irdis2
session below. If I do the same without --no-grafts, I get another
package. Moreover, during the build ~make check~ reports no error. But
if I run it, I get the error: 

    Exception in fasl-read: uncompressed size 45800616 for #vu8(240 41 16 132 198 40 ...) is smaller than expected size 45800676

[1] https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris2

I suspect that a grafted package provides some data which is slighlty
(60 bytes) smaller than in the original package.

How can I write a package definition which either avoids beeing
grafted at all or avoids a specific graft for a specific package?

Why does this fresh build needs any grafts in the first place?
Since we build it anew, it could use all packages in their newest
grafted version. Then we do not need to graft it in the end.

Well, maybe I can answer the last question by myself:
1. I specified the ungrafted version of a package. Therefore,
   ~guix build~ uses it.
2. Using the normally named package version, i.e. glibc instead of
   glibc/fixed, is more robust against future updates of
   guix. I.e. glibc/fixed may vanish if glibc needs no graft.
3. Using the normally named package version, is the base for future
   grafts. I.e. if we have idris2 for non-grafted needed packages, we
   can graft it to future grafts more easily.
   Well replacing one graft by another is just replacing one hash by
   another. Of course, we need to get the correct hash codes.
   I.e. we have to remember the original package version, its used
   grafted version. Based on this, we could take the newest graft of
   the original package version as the new target graft.

NB: I solved [2] with my package definition. I.e. I sucessfully
replaced /bin/sh everywhere where needed with a store sh.
