From 672a5b2f00a095dd1afc3259eca3f14439323e2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryan Sundberg Date: Wed, 28 Jul 2021 20:43:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] gnu: rocksdb: set TEST_TMPDIR for faster test i/o. The rocksdb test can take an egregious amount of time on a spinning HDD. This will inherit guixbuild's /tmp mount for the rocksdb testing directory. * gnu/packages/databases.scm (rocksdb)[arguments]: set TEST_TMPDIR for check phase --- gnu/packages/databases.scm | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/gnu/packages/databases.scm b/gnu/packages/databases.scm index 5de79de955..da93bc758e 100644 --- a/gnu/packages/databases.scm +++ b/gnu/packages/databases.scm @@ -1399,6 +1399,15 @@ including field and record folding.")))
