[bug#66870] Review

[Gabriel Wicki <gabriel@erlikon.ch>]

Hi

So i've de-frizzled the patches by renaming #66870 to "[PATCH 0/6] Add
yabridge."

[PATCH 1/6] looks good to me!  Have you checked the packages depending
on asio still build and work?

You can check the dependents with this command:

$ guix refresh -l asio
Building the following 8 packages would ensure 16 dependent packages are rebuilt: emacs-ob-sclang@0.1-1.cd3f3c8 cl-collider@2018.7.15-0.a469088 ecl-cl-collider@2018.7.15-0.a469088 gnome-arcade@0.240 widelands@1.1 musikcube@3.0.1 jami@20230323.0 restbed@4.8

I checked and they all still build fine :)

[PATCH 2/6] LGTM.

[PATCH 3/6] Looks goot, although I am a bit confused WRT the comment for
the (recursive #t) clause in the (source ..) field (indicating we need
to recursively copy the repo for the tests to complete) and argument
(#:tests? #f) indicating that the tests wouldn't be run.

[PATCH 4/6] LGTM.

[PATCH 5/6] LGTM.

[PATCH 6/6] Wow, now this is a big one!  Apart from the following
comments this looks good to me!

 - I'm not sure whether your (let ((arch))) clause isn't an abuse;  you
test whether (%current-system) is either x86_64-linux or aarch64-linux
and set it to x86_64-unix and i386-unix otherwise.  Does this actually
work for aarch64-linux systems?  You could make use of the
target-64-bit? function in (guix utils) and only allow the package to
build on x86 systems.  Also, you inherit wine64's supported-systems
field - which only lists x86_64-linux.  Building for i368 seems to be
unsupported by our wine packages (or wine in general?)

 - I'm a bit confused about your patch series adding clap 1.1.9 -
although yabridge seems to need 1.1.7.  Why not add clap@1.1.7 with this
series and with the next upgrade of yabridge also update clap?
 
 - Similar with input vst3sdk: Why not add it as a separate package?
If I interpret the situation correctly, using default definitions of
these inputs could also let you simplify your native-inputs list to the
new style.



All packages built fine and running $(guix style) didn't change
anything.
$(guix lint) on the patched packages gave the following output:

Please send in a updated patch-set.

Thanks for your time and effort!
