Hello
> You may try e.g. scons, pip, sphinx, or youtube-dl.
Hartmut was kind enough to suggest the above python applications to test
this `wrap-language-programs` patch set against, however I have been
stuck in "Rebuild the world"-hell for the last day and a half setting up
testcases.
I end up feeling a bit desesperated and incompetent, as I'm sure it's
not supposed to be this hard to create an appropriate test scenario here
— so I was wondering whether anyone has any pointers in avoiding
constantly rebuilding the world?
For details:
- I run on i686
- using GuixSD
- I rebased my patch set on master 2 days ago and tried to test from
there
- this resulted in a bunch of "401 - Not Found" for a number of the
binary substitute dependencies.
- and from then I have been rebuilding those dependencies
I guess part of the problem is that the substitute servers won't
necessarily have substitutes for a particular program from master yet?
I guess an additional problem is that some of the packages fail tests on
my setup intermittently (they fail using
`guix package -i youtube-dl --fallback`, for instance, but would then
succeed if I build using `guix build $dependency`).
But would people have recommendations to ensure some level of substitute
stability or some such?
Best wishes,
Alex
