e-upstream-name*' is "fileutils". Work around it. Reported by Vagrant Cascadian. * tests/guix-package.sh: Change "fileutils" example to use a different package name. Ludovic Courtès 2022-05-23scripts: package: Transform before creating manifest entries....* guix/scripts/package.scm (options->installable): Add TRANSFORM argument, to be able to directly transform the new packages before creating their manifest entries. (process-actions): Remove transform-entry, and step3, transforming directly in step2. * tests/guix-package.sh: Add test. Signed-off-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org> Josselin Poiret 2022-02-18profiles: 'profile-derivation' rejects unsupported packages....Previously user-facing commands would happily start building packages even if they do not support that system. With this change, all the user-facing commands reject unsupported packages without going further. * guix/profiles.scm (profile-derivation): Add #:allow-unsupported-packages?. Define 'check-supported-packages' and honor #:allow-unsupported-packages?. * tests/guix-pack.sh, tests/guix-package.sh, tests/guix-shell.sh: Ensure that unsupported packages are rejected. * tests/guix-system.sh: Pass "--system=armhf-linux" when attempting to build gnu/system/examples/asus-c201.tmpl. Ludovic Courtès 2021-04-29diagnostics, ui: Adjust to 'read-error' and 'syntax-error' in Guile 3.0.6....* guix/diagnostics.scm (source-properties->location): Add clause for vectors. * guix/ui.scm (report-load-error): Tweak 'read-error' handling for 3.0.6. * tests/guix-package.sh: Relax regexp for the "unbound variable" diagnostic check. * tests/guix-system.sh: Adjust "missing closing paren" check for 3.0.6. * tests/records.scm (location-alist): New procedure. ("define-record-type* & wrong field specifier") ("define-record-type* & wrong field specifier, identifier") ("define-record-type* & duplicate initializers"): Use it. Ludovic Courtès 2021-03-05profiles: 'package->manifest-entry' preserves transformations by default....Previously, transformations applied from a manifest (rather than via "guix install") would be lost. This change fixes that and simplifies things. Reported by zimoun at <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-02/msg00153.html>. * guix/profiles.scm (default-properties): New procedure. (package->manifest-entry): Use it for #:properties. * guix/scripts/pack.scm (guix-pack)[with-transformations]: Remove. Remove caller. * guix/scripts/package.scm (transaction-upgrade-entry): Remove calls to 'manifest-entry-with-transformations'. * tests/guix-package.sh: Add test. * tests/transformations.scm ("options->transformation + package->manifest-entry"): New test.
