Subject: [bug#44367] Rationale for hg-predicate
Date: Sat, 07 Nov 2020 23:16:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87361kizht.fsf@web.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1604223741.git.holger.peters@posteo.de>

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 434 bytes --]

Rationale for this patch: It can be used to reduce the number of files
pulled into the build when used as in the #:select? part of the source
clause.

Example:

(define-public example
  (package
    (name "example")
    ; …
    (source (local-file %source-dir
      #:recursive? #t
      #:select? hg-predicate))
    ; …
    ))

Best wishes,
Arne
