Hi,
I'm about to update Tryton, which has about 180 packages (think:
plug-ins). For testing, these packages require a set of Python packages,
which are defined in a global variable ("%standard-trytond-native-inputs",
see
<https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/src/commit/9debe9ecee68505866726fc0020fd6485156592c/gnu/packages/tryton.scm#L210>).
Also propagated inputs are often redundant, since already defined by the
main program "trytond".
Current package definitions take this into account by using
"%standard-trytond-native-inputs" (see
https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/src/commit/9debe9ecee68505866726fc0020fd6485156592c/gnu/packages/tryton.scm#L262-L264)
and having the redundant propagated inputs removed.
Now when refreshing the package, these adjustments get removed.
Currently I'm working around this using a shell script, which is not
that nice.
I would like to change refresh/import to
1) Add this global variable to native-inputs, removing all native inputs
defined in that global variable.
2) Remove the redundant propagated inputs.
Of course, this should only happen when importing/refreshing a package
with prefix "trytond-".
Questions:
a) Where is the appropriate place to add this?
b) How to actually add manipulate the inputs as described above? Any
example?
