Often packages install the compiled files to
$(libdir)/guile/$(GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION)/ccache (e.g. see
guile-opengl). This path is not explicitly given in the info page, but
is used in a couple of places, and is also part of %load-compiled-path
variable in guile (for "${guile}/lib/guile/2.2/ccache).

Similarly, the site-ccache is also part of %load-compiled-path in
guile.

Motivation for this change
Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Something to investigate is why does everything in GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH there twice

Can you target staging and rebase the PR?

Don't touch the install paths, but let Guile's setup hook do the right
think[^1].  Also run `haunt --version` after installing to make sure we
got this right.

[^1]: Which it somewhat doesn't; see github:NixOS/nixpkgs#88720.

I rebased this onto staging and fixed the commit message to be in line with our contribution guidelines.

Thanks @andir (I didn't realise others could force-push to my branch, I presume because it's forked from NixOS/nixpkgs and it's a pull request).

For what it's worth, the duplicate paths are a problem elsewhere so this pull request doesn't create any new problems. E.g.

[[ rmk35@pc-nixos-a... /pkgs/unstable ]]|$ nix-shell -p pyrex

[nix-shell:~/programming/nix/pkgs/unstable]$ echo $PYTHONPATH | tr : \\n
/nix/store/vlijrzyfhzl7s08296fjy42cn0kj50pw-python2.7-pyrex-0.9.5.1.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages
/nix/store/vfd4wghhzz4afzxgwynsnbj9xzpkib4z-python-2.7.18/lib/python2.7/site-packages
/nix/store/vlijrzyfhzl7s08296fjy42cn0kj50pw-python2.7-pyrex-0.9.5.1.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages
/nix/store/vfd4wghhzz4afzxgwynsnbj9xzpkib4z-python-2.7.18/lib/python2.7/site-packages

I don't know why this is but I suspect it's because of dependency graph walking and shared dependencies.

Sounds good enough for now. This is already an improvement. When we find a "better" way of doing that we can do it.
