I'm unable to build this package. Full build log can be seen here: http://pastie.org/10953882 . What could be wrong?

Note that you will need to create a guixbuild group and some users before you can install any packages. From the official docs: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Build-Environment-Setup.html $ sudo groupadd --system guixbuild $ sudo for i in `seq -w 1 10`; do useradd -g guixbuild -G guixbuild \ -d /var/empty -s `which nologin` \ -c "Guix build user $i" --system \ guixbuilder$i; done Next, ensure the daemon is running ($ sudo systemctl start guix-daemon) and you can use guix.

The test failure reported by fusion809 will happen whenever the absolute file name of the build directory $(abs_top_builddir) is too long, and is ultimately due to the fact that shebangs (the first line with #!) of executable scripts in Linux (the kernel) are limited to 127 characters. Some of the tests involve building packages inside the build directory, with the store inside the build directory instead of in /gnu/store (so the tests can be done without root access), so you end up with shebangs like: #!$(abs_top_builddir)/test-tmp/store/lr35ppi5q3r3bazhx4nzvjf12vfdf08v-bash-static-4.3.42/bin/sh In fusion809's case, this becomes something like: #!/home/fusion809/.cache/pacaur/guix/src/guix-0.11.0/test-tmp/store/lr35ppi5q3r3bazhx4nzvjf12vfdf08v-bash-static-4.3.42/bin/sh The example above is 126 characters which just barely fits, but for packages with longer names, or if there is an argument after the script name on the shebang line, the length limitation will be exceeded. If you cannot arrange to do the builds in a directory with a shorter absolute file name, then you won't be able to run tests. I'm sorry about that, but until Linux (the kernel) increases this length limit, I don't see another solution.

Thanks for noticing the problem of stripping. I uploaded a new version of PKGBUILD and I think it should resolve the issue.

As a lead developer of GNU Guix, I wanted to follow up on balduin's comment. It's important for the bootstrap binaries installed in gnu/packages/bootstrap/* to be copied precisely, without modification. These bootstrap binaries are the foundation upon which everything else in Guix is built, and thus they affect the hashes of every derivation. I've learned that by default, 'makepkg' automatically strips all executables, including these bootstrap binaries. As a result, users of this AUR package generate different derivations than all other Guix users, and thus they cannot make use of our binary substitutes, nor can they compare their build outputs with build outputs from other users to gain confidence that results are genuine and uncorrupted. balduin has verified that adding "options=(!strip)" to this PKGBUILD fixes the problem. I would be grateful if you could make this change ASAP. Feel free to stop by #guix if you have questions about this. Thanks!

The package works fine so far. The only problem is that you have to build each and every package from source, because the bash binary of the guix-0.11.0.tar.gz get's modified by makepkg. The negative effect is none of substitutes (pre-build packages) from hydra.gnu.org can be used since all produce a different output. The solution is to add to the PKGBUILD file: options=(!strip) for example: ~~~ ... url="https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/" license=('GPL') options=(!strip) makedepends=( 'bash-completion' ... ~~~ after adding the options line none of the binaries in guix-0.11.0.tar.gz will be modified and using substitutes from hydra.gnu.org works.

You have to obtain the required public key before you can verify the signature. You can find the required command at the beginning of PKGBUILD file.
