> + (inputs (list tzdata))
What's this input for? Packages shouldn't have tzdata in their inputs,
because it's a bunch of facts about the external world. When doing
this, running hare's equivalent of `date` from an old profile would
give a bogus result because of out-of-date time zone info.
Also, the rebuilding problem, from (gnu packages base):
;;; A "fixed" version of tzdata, which is used in the test suites of glib and R
;;; and a few other places. We can update this whenever we are able to rebuild
;;; thousands of packages (for example, in a core-updates rebuild). This package
;;; will typically be obsolete and should never be referred to by a built
;;; package.
;;;
;;; Please make this a hidden-package if it is different from the primary tzdata
;;; package.

You can't package the language itself. DYM: ‘The Hare compiler’, or
maybe: ‘The Hare standard library’, or both?
Greetings,
Maxime.

I forgot to patch the path in leapsec.ha to use for Guix's leapseconds file. Should I do that, or leave out tzdata? From the hare mailing list: "Notably, Hare requires the installation of the leap-seconds.list file in the tzdata package in order to handle leap seconds properly. Hare will work in the absence of this file, or of tzdata as a whole, but users will encounter bugs in timekeeping logic." https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/hare-distributions/%3CCKB9HRGYXORK.A6V2HBE01VD5%40taiga%3E

Looking at <https://harelang.org/distributions/>, harec expects it to be located in /usr/share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list by default (not /gnu/store/.../share/tzdata), so adding tzdata as input doesn't accomplish anything here. So to have time zone things working on Guix System, it seems like hare needs to be patched to support the $TZDIR environment variable (if it doesn't support that already). Also, I think there was some mail or message on #guix some time ago about Guix not installing that particular file yet in the tzdata package? That would need to be fixed as well ... Greetings, Maxime.

I don't have a clue what a ‘build driver’ is (a kernel-style driver + something about building -> a compiler inside the (Linux) kernel? Doesn't seem to apply here). I'd use ‘compiler’ instead, which I believe to be more widely understood (e.g., it has an entry on Wikipedia). Greetings, Maxime.

From #guix: 14:47 < nckx> 'The build driver is responsible for collecting input files, resolving their dependencies, and producing a plan for compiling your program.' — https://harelang.org/blog/2021-03-26-high-level-data-structures/ 14:48 < nckx> Seemingly not synonymous. although: 14:51 < maximed> (OTOH, technically 'gcc' isn't the compiler but 'cc1' is ...) and yet we call 'gcc' a compiler and seems a bit of an implementation detail to me, so I dunno. Greetings, Maxime.
