When using worktrees or submodules, you'll see a `.git' plain text file
at the root of your working tree instead of the usual `.git' directory.
This plain text file will point to the real GIT_DIR, under the
GIT_COMMON_DIR. From experimentation, the full GIT_COMMON_DIR is
required to exist for operations such as git-archive(1), so we expose it
as readonly inside the container.
Most of the mingw-w64 toolchain changes have now been upstreamed, we can
point to a commit that exists upstream.
NOTE: I'm not changing the URL yet until we see that Guix upstream will
accept all my patches for macOS.
-----
The Guix tree that's referred to by this commit contains the following
changes relevant to our mingw-w64 build:
b066c25026
Adds a PACKAGES-WITH-*PATCHES procedure which we can use in the future
to apply patches to packages if those patches are not considered
appropriate to upstream Guix
4719b71572
Adds mingw-w64 (the libc itself) reproducibility patches, taken from
debian.
79825bee07 + 401d28e433 + c1c50cb5b0
Add mingw-w64 specific binutils patches, taken from debian.
Specifically, the "Make DLL import libraries reproducible" patch made
libbitcoinconsensus.dll.a build reproducibly. The followup commits
were hotfixes for my mistakes.
0f864175dc
Bumps mingw-w64 to v7.0.0. This is the first release that enables
secure APIs by default (which we need), and gains _FORTIFY_SOURCE
support. This will also be what Ubuntu Focal 20.04 LTS releases with.
cdf00cf75d
Bumps NSIS to v3.05. This is the first release that includes a fix for
a reproducibility bug found by some of the electrum developers. See
details here: https://sourceforge.net/p/nsis/bugs/1230/
This bump will includes a couple of commits which improve the
reproducibility of the mingw-w64 toolchain. Most of which came from
debian. They will be upstreamed as upstream Guix release timeline
allows.
- Clearer and more accurate prose
- Pin `guix pull' to commit rather than branch
- Just use `use-module' instead of `define-module'
- Use `bash-minimal' instead of `bash'
- Remove unneeded `tcsh' from manifest
- Explicitly use `python-3.7'
- Add comments about how {native,cross}-toolchains are produced and
why
