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?
