[bug#60386] gnu: Add guile-proba.

Hello again,

This is a new patch with guile-proba version 0.3.0, which solves the missing module import problem.

🤞

Thank you for working on this, both upstream and the package itself.

I think guile should be a normal input.  Other packages like this
(e.g. guilescript, ccwl) seem to do it that way.

This seems almost correct, as it extends the GUILE_LOAD_{,COMPILED}_PATH
at runtime; the user would for still need to have the guile-config and
guile in their profile. Although guile-config is also listed as a
propagated input, when the guile search paths specifications are not
active, the following would not work:

`guix shell --pure guile-proba -- proba run tests'

You could have a look at the 'wrap phase of the ccwl package; they use
the value of (getenv "GUILE_LOAD_{,COMPILED}_PATH") retrieved while
building the package to wrap their script.

Nitpick, so feel free to ignore:
You could split up building and installing the manual.

All of the files listed in this regex are still installed in
<out>/share/guile/site/3.0.  Do you think it would be possible to ensure
these files are not installed?

Hi Jelle, thanks for taking a look.

I'm sending a new patch after this message, but I'm replying to your review below.

I moved it to inputs now. But I placed it in native-inputs following the guile-build-system documentation in the manual:

"Packages built with ‘guile-build-system’ must provide a Guile package in their ‘native-inputs’ field."

Did I misunderstand or should that part of the manual be updated?

I added a new phase to set Guile load paths so that they take (getenv "GUILE_LOAD{,COMPILED}_PATH") into account, and modified the wrapping accordingly. In my test, running "guix shell --pure guile-proba -- proba run tests" works now.

I put building into a separate phase.

It was possible. Now it looks like this:

Hi Luis,

Pushed to master! Some comments still follow.

You are correct, but in order to cleanly cross compile, we'd need to:
- add guile to both inputs (for the shebang) and native-inputs (for
cross compilation)
- add all guile libraries to both propagated-inputs and native-inputs
- ensure all guile libraries we depend on can be cross compiled.
- rework the `(getenv ...)' trick again, to be constructed out of the
guile libraries in (propagated-)inputs, instead of the native-inputs.

A quick bit of research makes me think guix is one of few packages
written in guile using autotools that supports cross compilation. I
think we can just leave the entire cross-compilation thing to be done
later, and then have it be done properly for all guile packages at once.
