Subject: [bug#32116] Allow bytevector as content of plain-file for binary data.
Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2018 19:41:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180710174128.6360-1-janneke@gnu.org> (raw)
Currently, plain-file does not handle binary content correctly. As discussed
on IRC[0] I added bytevector support to plain-file.
This allows for using a package source directly from git, doing something like
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define (command->bytevector command)
(let ((port (apply open-pipe* OPEN_READ command)))
(let ((output (get-bytevector-all port)))
(close-port port)
output)))
(define-public hello-git
(package
(name "hello")
(version "git")
(source (let* ((commit "stable-2.0")
(content (command->bytevector
`("git" "archive" "--format" "tar" "--prefix"
,(string-append commit "/") ,commit)))
(file-name (string-append "hello-" commit)))
(plain-file file-name content)))
...
))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Greetings,
janneke
