c Courtès 2020-01-15import: cpan: Rewrite to use 'define-json-mapping'....* guix/import/cpan.scm (<cpan-dependency>, <cpan-release>): New JSON-mapped record types. (metacpan-url->mirror-url): New procedure. (cpan-source-url): Rewrite in terms of it. (cpan-version): Remove. (cpan-module->sexp): Rewrite to take a <cpan-release> instead of an alist, and rename 'meta' to 'release'. [convert-inputs]: Rewrite to use 'cpan-release-dependencies'. Update calls to 'convert-inputs' to pass a list of symbols. Replace 'assoc-ref' calls with the appropriate field accessors. (cpan->guix-package): Rename 'module-meta' to 'release'. (latest-release): Likewise, and use the appropriate accessors. * tests/cpan.scm (test-json): Remove "prereqs" record; add "dependency" list. ("source-url-http", "source-url-https"): Remove. ("metacpan-url->mirror-url, http") ("metacpan-url->mirror-url, https"): New tests. Ludovic Courtès 2019-08-22Revert "import: cpan: Adapt for the change to guile-json version 3."...This reverts commit 01ce7af25add55514f737af48ea6c127bedfde67. Mark H Weaver 2019-08-21import: cpan: Adapt for the change to guile-json version 3....In guile-json version 3, JSON objects are represented as hash tables, rather than alists. * guix/import/cpan.scm (string->license): Change the match expression to match on lists, rather than vectors. (module->dist-name, cpan-source-url, cpan-version): Change assoc-ref to hash-ref. (cpan-module->sexp): Change assoc-ref to hash-ref, and assoc-ref* to hash-ref*. * tests/cpan.scm ("source-url-http", "source-url-https"): Convert the alist to a hash table. Christopher Baines 2018-09-04Switch to Guile-Gcrypt....This removes (guix hash) and (guix pk-crypto), which now live as part of Guile-Gcrypt (version 0.1.0.) * guix/gcrypt.scm, guix/hash.scm, guix/pk-crypto.scm, tests/hash.scm, tests/pk-crypto.scm: Remove. * configure.ac: Test for Guile-Gcrypt.

Ludovic Courtès 2018-08-24import: cpan: Adjust test to new URL....This is a followup to 9aba9b127840a116c806a2cbac901cf8077abcd0. * tests/cpan.scm ("cpan->guix-package"): Adjust 'home-page' URL.

Ludovic Courtès lephony.scm?id=1fb75128a5202b406622da6272bc809c46d1f439'>tests: Adjust to SRFI-64 as found in Guile 3.0.7....In Guile 3.0.7, 'test-runner-current' is set to #f upon 'test-end'. Consequently, the previous strategy, where we'd call 'test-runner-current' after 'test-end', no longer works. Instead, set the test runner in each test right before 'test-begin'. * gnu/build/marionette.scm (system-test-runner): New procedure. * gnu/tests/audio.scm (run-mpd-test): Replace (exit (= ...)) idiom by (test-runner-current (system-test-runner)). * gnu/tests/base.scm (run-basic-test) (run-cleanup-test, run-mcron-test, run-nss-mdns-test): Likewise. * gnu/tests/ci.scm (run-laminar-test): Likewise. * gnu/tests/cups.scm (run-cups-test): Likewise. * gnu/tests/databases.scm (run-memcached-test) (run-postgresql-test, run-mysql-test): Likewise. * gnu/tests/desktop.scm (run-elogind-test): Likewise. * gnu/tests/dict.scm (run-dicod-test): Likewise. * gnu/tests/docker.scm (run-docker-test): Likewise.
