Guix QA "Unable to apply patches"

Guix QA "Unable to apply patches"

[Andy Tai]

Hi, for one of my package patches, Guix QA shows

"Unable to apply patches"

in https://qa.guix.gnu.org/issue/63095

even though I double checked the patch applies cleanly on the current
head of the master branch.

Guix QA shows no hint as what the failure is (no log, etc.)   Curious
how to investigate the problem?

That message was appearing incorrectly, which I've now fixed. The
qa-frontpage hadn't attempted to apply the patch, which is why the log
showed #f.

The reason why QA hasn't looked at this issue is that it's too old. To
avoid resource problems, QA only currently looks at a fixed number of
recent issues. The limiting factor is currently data service storage
space.

Unfortunately none of that is very helpful in getting this patch looked
at though.
