Subject: [bug#35653] [PATCH] gnu: Add rcm.
Date: Thu, 9 May 2019 16:38:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190509153834.26585-1-josh@inv.alid.pw> (raw)
Hi,
Below is the first package definition I have written for Guix, defining
the dotfile management suite rcm[0]. I'm sure there are changes to be
made before it can be merged, and I did have a few issues while I was
writing it. However, it does now build, install and run fine on my
local machine.
First, I wasn't sure whether it fits into an existing module already.
I had a look through the contents of gnu/packages/ but I didn't see
anything that really stuck out. Perhaps it fits into shellutils?
Second, I had a lot of trouble with the test suite. The first thing
that I had to solve was some hardcoded paths in the test cases, which
I solved with the following argument to `#:phases`:
(modify-phases %standard-phases
(add-after 'patch-source-shebangs 'patch-tests
(lambda _
(substitute* '("test/rcrc-tilde.t"
"test/rcdn-hooks-run-in-order.t"
"test/rcup-hooks-run-in-order.t")
(("/bin/sh") (which "sh")))
(substitute* "test/rcup-hooks.t"
(("/usr/bin/env") (which "env")))
#t)))
This may or may not be the right way to go about things; I'd appreciate
some feedback on that.
However, I was still having issues with certain tests
(`test/rcup-hooks.t`, `test/rcdn-hooks.t` and possibly others)
non-deterministically failing trying to create and read /tmp/test files.
I'm not sure how to fix this, or even what's causing it: every time I
tried to reproduce it by hand the tests passed. I assume that something
is deleting /tmp/test while the test is running but I'm not sure what.
In the end I just disabled the tests, since even passing XFAIL_TESTS
doesn't work as sometimes the tests just pass.
If there are any ideas to solve the tests, or any other issues that need
fixing, I'm happy to re-submit the patch.
Thanks,
Josh

+scales to a more complex situation such as multiple source directories
+shared between computers with some host-specific or task-specific files.")
