[PATCH 0/1] gnu: Add erlang-lfe. |
Date: |
Tue, 15 Aug 2023 17:23:28 +0200 |
Please, find attached a package definition for Lisp Flavoured Erlang.
I am aware of the earlier attempt to package LFE by jgart [1] (since a few
days), but I was already on track with everything, including the replacement of
the 'check' phase, and did not take anything from that solution.
I guess, that jgart's problem was the same as I encountered: while the
binaries are built with a standard gnu Makefile, the tests use rebar3. rebar3
would download the dependencies instead of reusing existing Guix packages. My
solution was 'inspired' by how the rebar3 build method handles dependencies.
The rebar3-build-system links the dependencies to a subdirectory _checkouts
from which the later _build directory is copied and used for fetching all
rebar3 plugins, overriding the download locations in rebar.config [2,3]. But
with linking the dependencies, the file permissions stay read-only, and with
rebar trying multiple times to copy to _build, the 'check' phase would fail
with permission denied. This is the reason for copying dependencies from the
store, to be able to modify the permissions.

I've adjusted the commit message like so:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
gnu: Add erlang-lfe.
* gnu/packages/erlang.scm (erlang-lfe): New variable.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Made other small cosmetic changes such as moving the #:make-flags above
the #:phases, the inputs after the build arguments, added a copyright
line with your name, and installed it with commit 5ef28595e.
Thank you for your contribution!
