#f is an elisp compatibility hack in Guile.
Use (format #f "v~a" version) instead, or simpler
(string-append "v" version).

Looking at the patch only and (I didn't test it, didn't do
licensing checks, etc.) I only see one other problem:

> +   (arguments '(#:tests? #f))

Why are the tests disabled? (Are there none, do they need
additional packages not in Guix, ...) Maybe add a line like

> +   ;; There is no test suite.
> +   (arguments '(#:tests? #f))

Greetings,

Commit messages should be written in ChangeLog format[1], you can look
at previous commits for examples.

This commit should also be split into two separate commits, one adding
‘perl-file-next’, and the other adding ‘ack’.

Use ‘(file-name (git-file-name name version))’.

Try to make the synopsis as concise as possible, just “Lightweight,
taint-safe file-finding Perl module” should do.  See the ‘Synopses and
Descriptions’ section of the manual.

The description should contain one or more complete sentences.

We usually use ‘(string-append "v" version)’ instead of ‘format’.

> +            (file-name "ack")

Use ‘(file-name (git-file-name name version))’ (same as above).

What’s the reason for disabling the tests?

Please use double spacing, and capitalize.

                                                   ^^
Unecessary whitespace, and missing period.

Could you send an updated series?

[bug#48630] Acknowledgement ([PATCH] adds `ack' package and it's perl module dependency File::Next)

[Gabriel Wicki]

thanks for the advice, i'll update and split the patch into a small
series soon!


the tests are deactivated because 3 of 841 fail. they seem to check
some kind of shebang #! paths. see this excerpt from the build log:

#   Failed test 'Util::sets_match( TEST_TYPE with -t perl )'
#   at t/ack-type.t line 43.

	# actual[
	#   't/swamp/0:1:#!/gnu/store/8zvc5mvk0xm3ygrxsgpyy5ilxb5rzjry-perl-5.30.2/bin/perl -w',
...
	# ]
	# expected[
	#   't/swamp/0:1:#!/usr/bin/perl -w',
...
	# ]

these lines are being ignored by the patch-generated-file-shebangs
phase, maybe because the #! aren't at the beginning of the line?

i'm a total novice in Perl, so i'm not sure what exactly is happening
there or why this is even tested.

should i try and add my own version of a patch-shebang after the
patch-generated-file-shebangs phase?

Yes, you could add add a phase after the ‘patch-generated-file-shebangs’
phase that replaces #!/usr/bin/perl with #!/gnu/store/...-perl/bin/perl.
Something like this should work (untested):

#+begin_src scheme
(add-after 'patch-generated-file-shebangs 'patch-more-shebangs
  (lambda (#:key inputs #:allow-other-keys)
    (substitute* '("t/ack-type.t" ...)
      (let ((perl (assoc-ref inputs "perl")))
        (("/usr/bin/perl")
         (string-append perl "/bin/perl"))))))
#+end_src

I forgot to mention that this applies to the ‘ack’ package as well[1],
sorry for the inconvenience!

Also, I don’t have commit access, so you will have to wait for someone
else to merge the patches.

Now I'm confused...  Both patches are included in my last email[1].
Or am I missing something?

[bug#48630] Acknowledgement ([PATCH] adds `ack' package and it's perl module dependency File::Next)

[Gabriel Wicki]

Please disregard my previous messages.  The previously posted version of
ack only worked when perl-file-next was part of the user's profile.
The new patches address that issue (though I only changed the commit
title of the first patch).
I hope I finally got it all right :)

Thanks to all for pointers and patience!

bug#48630: [PATCH] adds `ack' package and it's perl module dependency File::Next

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Commit 1051db25267a9bbc0ad38be2f3ec92af40f18e18 adds ack.  I’ve
reformatted your patch a little, but nothing fundamental has been
changed.

Thank you for your patience!  Let’s hope your next patch gets noticed
sooner.  Feel free to ping us on IRC if you think we may have forgotten
about your contributions.

Thanks again!
