[PATCH 0/5] gnu: iwd: Build from Git; update to 1.23. |
|
Date: |
Fri, 4 Feb 2022 10:41:31 -0500 |
Here's a patch series that aims to improve the iwd package by
- Migrating its "native-inputs" field to the new, label-less style;
- Building the package from revision control rather than a bootstrapped
tarball, which involves copying into the source tree two private header
files it shares with ell;[0]
- Updating ell itself to version 0.48, removing from its package definition
its own input labels as well as the "fix-dbus-tests" phase that was
obsoleted with upstream commit 49bb10f7b5;[1] and
- Updating iwd to 1.23.
Note there is an unavoidable dependency issue here: iwd 1.20 doesn't build
with ell 0.48, so a future time-traveller that arrives between the last two
commits will find the repository partially broken. Unfortunately expanding
this into a longer series of commits doesn't help, as iwd 1.21 also doesn't
build with ell 0.48 while iwd 1.22 doesn't build with ell 0.47. I don't see a
way around this that doesn't involve merging these two commits into one.
On x86-64, with these patches applied I've been able to build both packages
and all of their 40-odd dependents, and everything appears to be fine.
On AArch64, both packages and their one immediate dependent, network-manager,
build fine, as do the sub-dependent packages I can identify that don't rely on
Rust (currently unavailable on AArch64).

Merging into one is the right thing in this case, IMO. I did that on
your behalf.

Applied. Thanks for the code and for the explanations!
