[julia-users] BinDeps: How to test new provider?

[Lucas Beyer]

Hi all,

I wanted to let BinDeps know about Arch Linux's Pacman. I think that I 
added all the necessary code (a lot of copy-paste from apt-get and yum), 
but I don't really know how to test it. I've never used BinDeps expliclity 
myself.

Cheers,
Lucas

I guess the best way is to just install the package (or re-run Pkg.build())
and see if things work as expected (i.e. try loading package and then run
tests).

Only after sending this mail did I realize that each package needs to make 
use of each build-system explicitly. That now makes testing obvious.

Hi Lucas,

Thanks for working on this. Currently the fact that BinDeps doesn't install 
arch packages is the one thing keeping AudioIO from working on 
pkg.julialang.org. I don't actually have an arch machine handy, but if you 
get it merged into BinDeps I'll be using it ASAP.

The corresponding PR: https://github.com/JuliaLang/BinDeps.jl/pull/101. See
the referencing Images.jl PR (and more to come) for usage, though it's
pretty straightforward.
