Subject: bug#42155: --with-source=PACKAGE=REPLACEMENT-SOURCE doesn't work recursively
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2020 16:10:38 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ab53ddc4-826b-ea23-9379-121b2ec0c9e1@gmail.com> (raw)

(In response to issue at https://issues.guix.info/issue/42155):
I want to be able to specify dependency sources, so I am working on this
issue. It's complicated because --with-source= can take a simple source
(implying the package being built should be built from SOURCE) or
package=source (AIUI implying PACKAGE in the specified list of packages
should be built from SOURCE). Should we deprecate the current
interpretation of "--with-source=package=source"? Or would it be better
to preserve these options and make a new recursive
'--with-dependency-source=package=source' option?
I'm leaning towards making the option
"--with-dependency-source=package=source" because I think that will be
easier to accomplish and maintain. But if anyone has a compelling reason
to deprecate the old usage, I am willing to listen.
