User-agent: | mu4e 1.8.6; emacs 29.0.50 |
Thanks for the review, some notes/questions inline below. [Maxime Devos]:
The 'patches' field is delayed, not thunked, so only the first system+target it sees will take effect. This will break things if for whatever reason you compute the derivation of the package for multiple systems in the same process.
Where can I read up on 'delayed' vs 'thunked' to understand that concept? I have no idea what it is at the moment and the manual does not mention this.
To solve things, I recommend:
1. Inform upstream that the test (or the code it tests) is broken on ppc64le, such that a better test can be devised and everyone (notonly Guix) benefits,
This has been done. Their reply, in short: ppc64 is not on their supported platforms list and they delegate the fix to others.
