When working in a rakudo dev environment on a PR it would be very helpful to
work on the associated tests at the same time. One way is to have a suitable
build option to Configure.pl, e.g.,
+ Use a suitably defined env var (say. ROAST_LOCAL_REPO_DIR):
$ perl Configure.pl --gen-moar --gen-nqp --backends=moar \
--local-roast-repo
or an explicit path:
$ perl Configure.pl --gen-moar --gen-nqp --backends=moar \
--local-roast-repo=/path/to/roast/repo
and do the magic behind the scenes to generate make accordingly.
A quick look at the rakudo/tools dir suggests that a new
tools/build/Makefile-common-rules-local-roast.in could be a full replacement
for "Makefile-common-rules.in", suitably modified, if the local roast option
were used.
