04>. Previously, the generic HTML updater would only look for the list of files found at the parent of its current source URL, ignoring that the URL may embed the version elsewhere in its path. This could cause 'guix refresh' to report no updates available, while in fact there were, such as for 'libuv'. * guix/gnu-maintenance.scm (strip-trailing-slash): New procedure. (%version-rx): New variable. (rewrite-url): New procedure. (import-html-release): New rewrite-url? argument. When true, use the above procedure. (import-html-updatable-release): Call import-html-release with #:rewrite-url set to #t. * tests/gnu-maintenance.scm ("rewrite-url, to-version specified") ("rewrite-url, without to-version"): New tests. Maxim Cournoyer 2023-01-02tests: Fix gnu-maintenance tests....The regression was introduce with commit a274a6a1acb99738f02de7b226e6a0d3883ec353 ("upstream-updater: Rename record field.") * tests/tests/gnu-maintenance.scm: ("latest-html-release, scheme-less URIs", "latest-html-release, no signature", "latest-html-release, signature"): Replace upstream-updater-latest by upstream-updater-import. Reported-by: Ricardo Wurmus <rekado@elephly.net> Hartmut Goebel 2022-11-11gnu-maintenance: 'release-file?' excludes "valgrind-3.20.0.RC1.tar.bz2"....* guix/gnu-maintenance.scm (%alpha-tarball-rx): Add "." before "(alpha|beta|...)". * tests/gnu-maintenance.scm ("release-file?"): Add test for Valgrind. Ludovic Courtès 2022-09-26gnu-maintenance: Test latest-html-release....* tests/gnu-maintenance.scm ("latest-html-release, no signature") ("latest-html-release, signature): New tests. Signed-off-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org> Maxime Devos 2022-09-17gnu-maintenance: Support // URLs in latest-html-release....This makes "./pre-inst-env guix refresh -u" download the release tarball from the right place -- previously, it downloaded from https://www.libreoffice.org//download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/src/7.4.0/libreoffice-7.4.0.3.tar.xz?idx=1 whereas it should download from https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/src/7.4.0/libreoffice-7.4.0.3.tar.xz?idx=1 instead. * guix/gnu-maintenance.scm (latest-html-release)[url-release]: Adjust computation in the case of an absolute URI-reference without a scheme. * tests/gnu-maintenance.scm ("latest-html-release, scheme-less URIs"): Test it.
