Cuirass is a continuous integration tool using GNU Guix. It is intended as a
replacement for Hydra.
Requirements
============
Cuirass currently depends on the following packages:
- GNU Guile 2.0.9 or later
- GNU Guix (and all its development dependencies)
- GNU Make
- Guile-JSON
- Guile-SQLite3
- Git
A convenient way to install those dependencies is to install Guix and execute
the following command:
$ guix environment -l build-aux/guix.scm
This will build and enter an environment which provides all the necessary
dependencies.
Build Instructions
==================
When all the dependencies are available on you system, in order to build and
install Cuirass, you can proceed with the usual:
$ ./configure && sudo make install
An alternative way is to directly install Cuirass in your Guix profile, using:
$ guix package -f build-aux/guix.scm
To build it, but not install it, run:
$ guix build -f build-aux/guix.scm
Example
=======
A quick way to manually test Cuirass is to execute:
./pre-inst-env cuirass --specifications=examples/hello-singleton.scm --database=test.db
This will read the file "examples/hello-singleton.scm" which contains a list of
specifications and add them to the database "test.db" which is created if it
doesn't already exist.
'cuirass' then loops evaluating/building the specs. The database keeps track
of the specifications in order to allow users to accumulate specifications.
To resume the evaluation/build process you can execute the same command
without the '--specifications' option:
./pre-inst-env cuirass --database=test.db
