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 - Guile-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 Contributing ============ See the manual for useful hacking informations, by running info -f doc/cuirass.info "Contributing"
