System tests

Hello Guix! I just pushed a couple of new modules to run system tests. As done in NixOS¹ (in Perl + Bash), the idea is to run the system under test in a VM and to instrument the guest system with a backdoor so we can fiddle with it from the outside. Here, the backdoor is obviously a Guile REPL,

Re: [PATCH] gnu: Add r-coda.

So, we do need r-lattice when actually using the module.. I attached yet another patch. >From bc85f769c42418b307339aaafb2f3785a7a897e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roel Janssen Date: Wed, 4 May 2016 15:53:45 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] gnu: Add r-coda. * gnu/packages/statistics.scm

Dear Guix, Yet another patch for an R package. Kind regards, Roel Janssen >From ff2b4d8a0bc1ecf1dcc3a6ce8f3e457910e7aa33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roel Janssen Date: Wed, 4 May 2016 15:45:09 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] gnu: Add r-mvtnorm. * gnu/packages/statistics.scm

Re: [PATCH] gnu: Add r-coda.

I improved the patch by removing r-lattice because that is not needed, and I made a complete sentence in the description. Here it is: >From aedf6029283733a19941de2d2b641f87790189d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roel Janssen Date: Wed, 4 May 2016 15:39:18 +0200 Subject: [PATCH]

Re: [PATCH] gnu: jemalloc: Update to 4.1.0.

Hmm, that mail went out a bit too rushed. I updated jemalloc to a newer version so it supports the sdallocx calls. I have not yet tested them with the other packages that depend on it (mariadb, blender) Regards, Jelle 2016-05-04 12:51 GMT+02:00 Jelle Licht : > Date: Sun, 1

Re: rust work in progress conflicts (was: Re: LLVM: "FileCheck" is missing)

I have taken the liberty to try my hand at finishing this, as I figured it would be a good way for me to get more familiar with 'the Guix way' of packaging things. Wow, did I misjudge this rabbit hole though. It seems to be the case that rust needs the (most recent) snapshotted binary stage-0
