Subject: [bug#33522] [PATCH 0/3] Add the '--with-branch' package transformation option
Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2018 16:31:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181127153147.21247-1-ludo@gnu.org> (raw)
Hello,
This patch series adds a ‘git-checkout’ file-like construct along with
a ‘--with-branch’ package transformation option.
The ‘git-checkout’ construct may be used like this:
(define-public guile-git
(package
(inherit guile-next)
(version "git")
(source (git-checkout
(url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guile.git")
(branch "master")))))
Then you can do this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix build -L ~/.config/guix/personal/ guile-next@git
updating checkout of 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guile.git'...
retrieved commit 1f6786db06fee5f0bbdbd637acc6aa46aecd4169
building /gnu/store/7l168l4lgpjjg9jq7lh2416cc884r3s9-guile-next-git.drv...
[…]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
IOW, every time you build the package, it gets built off the latest
commit of the specified branch.
The next patch add ‘--with-branch’ which makes that functionality
available from the command line. For example:
guix build --with-branch=guile-gcrypt=master cuirass
builds the latest guile-gcrypt, guix, and cuirass, using the latest
guile-gcrypt commit on ‘master’.
The ‘--with-branch’ option only works with packages that have a
‘git-fetch’ origin or a ‘git-checkout’ as their source.
I find it rather neat. WDYT? :-)
Ludo’.
