Hi Guix!
Is there a convenient way to disable the check phase from commandline
when building a package?
I don't want to edit the package definition and add the "#:tests? #f"
argument.

No, there isn't.

What about adding one?
I find it particularly convenient when working around packages like Git where
the build phase takes about 2 minutes while the check phase takes about 1 hour.

Just curious: why don't you want to edit the package? And what do
you mean by 'working around'?
We can't (well, RFC-2119 'MUST NOT' :-) risk installing an
untested git to the same output as a tested one: that would
violate the functional model.
Kind regards,
T G-R

This is an old discussion - see the archives. I have a patch that
disables testing in some build systems in

Sometimes I work on a package like Git and build the result to see if I get the
expected change. I might not need to run the "check" phase for that.
But as you pointed out, it's only a temporary measure for quick hacking and once
I'm convinced with my code I re-enable the tests and build one last time.
