I think I have it all figured out so far for the most part, but I don't know what module to add it to. Roundup allows writing tests for command- line applications, usually shell scripts, but it's not limited to those. I use it in a project of mine, so I would like to have this package. One small caveat, building the man pages requires Ronn[2], which is a Ruby gem not available in Guix. Roundup will build without Ronn as well, it will just be missing the man pages. Is this acceptable? What module would be best suited for a command-line testing framework? [1] https://github.com/bmizerany/roundup/ [2] https://github.com/rtomayko/ronn
