Subject: [Work in progress] gnu: emacs: update to 27.1
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2020 23:21:02 -0400 (EDT)
Hi Guix,
Now that there is a release candidate for Emacs 27.1, I started working on
updating our Emacs packages. For the most part, it went smoothly, but
there are some other packages that broke after updating Emacs. Of the
packages reported by `guix refresh -l emacs`, the following had issues:
emacs-picpocket - picpocket uses ImageMagic, but Emacs no longer defaults
to using ImageMagic [0]. This may not be a package that we want to support
with Emacs >=27

change that.

emacs-md4rd - Byte compilation fails. Issue reported upstream [11].

Having said that, I will send the patch that I have for updating Emacs.
This borrows heavily from the current definition of emacs-next. One thing
I don't understand is why I had to add texinfo to the native inputs of
emacs-minimal. Perhaps that can be removed with a configure option. That
said, `guix size` reports a decrease from 205.3 MiB to 182.9 MiB for
emacs-minimal (and emacs decreased from 1209.8 MiB to 859.7 MiB).
I've also left emacs-next alone for now. We'll probably want to update it
as well at some point.
Best,
Jack

I've added guix-devel to the cc: becasue the Emacs upgrade has come up a
few times on IRC, and there are ways for you to help move this upgrade
along. Any suggestions are welcome, but in particular, you can help with
the following:
* Review the inputs and configure flags. Are there any additional changes
needed for the new Emacs version? A good place to start with this would be
the Emacs NEWS file. It's quite lengthy, so additional eyes would be quite
helpful.
* Making sure packages build and work with Emacs 27.1. I expect this to
involve elisp hacking and working with upstream.
I have the following updates, since I prepared at patch for the 27.1
release candidate:

Now that Emacs 27.1 has been released, I've updated the patch for released
version. Per Michael Rohleder's (mroh) suggestion on IRC, I have added gmp
as an input.
Is the emacs-wide-int variant needed with the new multiprecision
functionality?

Upstream fixed the issue, and Michael Rohleder got the fix into Guix.
Thanks!

With the fixed treepy, emacs-github-review now builds as well.

Work is being done upstream to add support for 27.1 [9]

emacs (26 and 27) configure and compiles with gmp anyway. I couldn't
find out where it's (implicit) coming from.
I still like the input to make it explicit, though.

I don't think so.

Can you add configuration options "--with-cairo"(Also add cairo as input)
the main advantage of cairo build is the power to display color emoji in Emacs.
Check https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/etc/NEWS.27#L53
In upcoming Emacs 28, --with-cairo will be the default choice for Emacs. See https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/etc/NEWS#L27

Great. This was copied bliendly from the emacs-next package. I've removed
it.

Interesting, I didn't catch this. I like explicit better as well.

Ok, I've deprecated that package.

Sounds good to me. I've enabled cairo, and per [1] removed libxft from the
inputs.

I added the emacs-wide-int variant because emacs-telega requires 62-bit
[sic] integers (https://debbugs.gnu.org/39412). While Telega should
work with regular (non-wide-int) Emacs 27.1 (thanks to the new
multiprecision functionality), the test which checks if Emacs is suitable
for running Telega will fail, because it does not know about "bignums"
and looks at the value of most-positive-fixnum instead:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; 62bits for numbers is required
;; i.e. ./configure --with-wide-int
(cl-assert (= most-positive-fixnum 2305843009213693951) nil
"Emacs with wide ints (--with-wide-int) is required")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I suggest we keep the emacs-wide-int variant until this issue has been
resolved, so that the Emacs update does not break emacs-telega on 32-bit
systems.
[...]
Greetings,
Diego

I think emacs-wide-int could still be useful on 32bit systems.

From: Morgan Smith <Morgan.J.Smith@outlook.com>
* gnu/packages/emacs.scm (emacs): Update to 27.1.
[arguments]: Add --with-cairo and --with-modules to #:configure-flags. Add
restore-emacs-pdump phase.
[inputs]: Add cairo, libxaw, jansson, gmp, and harfbuzz. Remove imagemagick
and libxft.
[native-inputs]: Add texlive.
(emacs-wide-int): Mark as deprecated package.
(emacs-no-x):
[arguments]: Add --with-jpeg=no --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no
to #:configure-flags.
---
Hello!
Your patch didn't build for me so I made some slight changes. I added
libxaw as an input, and added some configure flags to emacs-no-x.
I'm now using this patch to run Emacs 27.1 on my main machine
(inadvisable I know), and my personal config is running flawlessy with
the exception of emacs-clojure-mode, emacs-elisp-regs, and
emacs-helpful.
Hopefully this helps!

I see that Mark committed a similar patch just yesterday:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=36a09d185343375a5cba370431870f9c4435d623
I suppose Mark hadn’t seen the ongoing discussion.
Mark, Morgan: could you see if there’s anything we’re missing from the
patch Morgan submitted?
At any rate, thanks a lot for the work everyone put in!

Also, are we planning to keep emacs-next and have it track 28.x or
remove it?

I believe bandali was planning to track 28.x.

Indeed, I hadn't. Gah, I'm terribly sorry about this. I had done some
quick web searches for preexisting work on this, but clearly they were
insufficient, and I've never subscribed to the patches list. In the
future, I'll know not to rely on web search engines for this.

Looking now, here are the main differences I see between our patches:
* I found that I had to remove the 'restore-emacs-pdump' phase from most
of the other emacs variants, namely the ones that use
'gnu-build-system', because otherwise the inherited
'restore-emacs-pdump' phase would fail. Morgan's patch seems not to
consider most of the other emacs variants, and I'm not sure if they
were tested. I briefly tested all of them except for 'guile-emacs'.
* Morgan removed the snippet code that deletes "eshell/esh-groups.el",
whereas I replaced it with a call to 'find-files' to remove it only if
present, as the previous comment suggested. I'm not sure if this is
still needed, though.
* Morgan's patch adds "libxaw" to inputs and "texinfo" to native-inputs.
What's the rationale for these?
* I added 'pango' to the inputs, because the Emacs NEWS mentioned that
Pango was used for font rendering when "--with-cairo" is used.
However, it may be that "pango" finds its way into the build inputs
without being explicitly mentioned.
* Morgan removed 'libxft' from the inputs of 'emacs', whereas I didn't.
This was an oversight on my part. However, if we remove it, it's
possible that we might need to add it back to 'emacs-no-x-toolkit'.
The references that I see to Pango in the Emacs code are within
"#ifdef HAVE_GTK3".
* In 'emacs-no-x', my patch removes the new graphical library inputs
(cairo, pango, and harfbuzz) and the "--with-cairo" flag, whereas
Morgan's patch leaves "cairo" and "harfbuzz" as inputs, and overwrites
the inherited configure-flags to be precisely ("--with-jpeg=no"
"--with-gif=no" "--with-tiff=no"), apparently discarding the inherited
"--with-modules" and "--disable-build-details" flags.
* Morgan made 'emacs-wide-int' into a deprecated package, whereas I
thought that it might still be useful. My rationale was this: from a
brief skim, it looks like '--with-wide-int' might make *immediate*
integers wider, which for some applications might perform much better
than the heap-allocated arbitrary-size integers supported by Emacs 27.
However, I didn't look carefully at this.
* I updated "emacs-exec-path.patch" and removed
"emacs27-exec-path.patch", whereas Morgan's patch keeps both files and
possibly leaves "emacs-exec-path.patch" orphaned.
* I updated the patches to apply cleanly to Emacs 27, although this was
not strictly needed.
* I updated 'notmuch' in the previous commit to a version that builds
successfully with Emacs 27.

Sorry about that. If the Emacs 27 update breaks important packages, it
might be that reverting it is the proper action. If the maintainers
decide to do this, I would not object.

Hello!
It seems I am taking some credit for Jack Hill's patch. I simply took
Jack's patch (labeled as patch v3 in the debbugs thread) and attempted
to build it with my personal config. I noticed that it wouldn't build
properly since emacs wanted libxaw and emacs-no-x wanted some image
librarys (libtiff, libjpeg, etc). The only contributions I made, where
to add libxaw to emacs and to add the configure flags to emacs-no-x. I
made these changes and posted them as patch v4. However, the patch Mark
committed does build for me so you can ignore my contributions (which
weren't well thought out to begin with).
The rest of your questions should be directed to Jack.
(Also just my 2 cents, we should have upgraded emacs-next to 27.1 and
only upgraded emacs a week later. Emacs deserves more care than most
packages due to its dependence on so many other packages. Not trying to
shame anyone, just something to think of for next time.)
Thanks,
Morgan

I've filed bug#43090 with a trivial patch for emacs-clojure-mode, no
need to revert Emacs 27.1 for this bug IMHO.
> and emacs-elisp-refs are also broken.
is there a specific bug report for this plz?
there is also bug#43093 for emacs-ess
can we coordinate our efforts in order to avoid to revert emacs 27.1 by
tagging relevant [1] open emacs packages bugs as critical? [2]
[...]
Thanks! Gio'
[1] can we define "relevant" as: all bugs that breaks a previously
compiling emacs package?
[2]

Indeed, I see that now. Sorry for the mistake. I suppose it happened
because it was presented to me as "the patch Morgan submitted", but it
would have been better if I had taken the time to read the bug report
more carefully.
Also, I regret if my comments on the preliminary patch made anyone feel
badly. To be clear, there's no shame in submitting an unfinished patch
for review. On the contrary, it is a *very* useful contribution. In
this case, it makes sense to start by updating the main 'emacs' package,
and to worry about the other variants later. There's no fault in that.
The only fault here lies with me. I should have looked more carefully
for prior work, and I probably also pushed it prematurely.

Agreed, or perhaps 'emacs' itself should have been updated on a separate
branch. In the past, when this was a smaller community and there were
far fewer emacs packages in Guix, I did major updates of Emacs a few
times without causing any obvious problems, but that was a different
time. It's also possible that Emacs 27 was a more disruptive update
than usual.
Thanks very much for your comments and contributions.
Best regards,
Mark

This thread is getting hard to follow, should we open a specific bug on
