When running "make dist" there are some checks run, such as checking for
hard-coded store paths.

Would it be a good idea to add this or a similar check to
etc/git/pre-push and/or guix lint?

Would it make sense to set up a job to run "make dist" on the build farm
to catch these problems?

# Make sure we're not shipping a file that embeds a local /gnu/store file name.
assert-no-store-file-names:
	$(AM_V_at)if grep -r --exclude=*.texi --exclude=*.info			\
	     --exclude=*.info-[0-9] --exclude=*.dot				\
	     --exclude=*.eps --exclude-dir=bootstrap				\
	     --exclude=guix-manual.pot --exclude=guix-manual.*.po		\
	     --exclude=guix-cookbook.pot --exclude=guix-cookbook.*.po		\
	     --exclude=guix-prettify.el						\
	     --exclude=ChangeLog*						\
	     --exclude=binutils-boot-2.20*.patch				\
	     -E "$(storedir)/[a-z0-9]{32}-" $(distdir) ;			\
	then									\
	  echo "error: store file names embedded in the distribution" >&2 ;	\
	  exit 1 ;								\
	fi

Checking this more often could prevent:

  bug#43005: make dist fails: "store file names embedded in the distribution"

It would be nice to catch these bugs earlier, especially when they are
low down on dependency chain!


live well,

This one was a bit of unusual case but yeah, it’d be nice to catch
earlier anyway.  I’m not sure where to test it though: ‘guix lint’ would
miss some of the other issues, and a plain makefile rule might see too
much.

Probably the best thing to do is a “make dist” job under continuous
integration, as you suggest.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
