Hi
This patch almost work.
I really tried hard understanding what made cups fail after modifying
the
configure flags and found lines in two makefiles under /notifier:65
and
/scheduler:159 to be patched.
I'm not sure what the specific problem is. If you share the error
messages we may be able to give specific advice.
How do I best create a patch for those?
This is my approach. There may be a better approach but this does work.
$ tar xf $(./pre-inst-env guix build --source foo) && cd foo
$ git init && git add --all && git commit -m "Initial import of
upstream sources"
$ # make changes
$ git add --update && git commit && git format-patch HEAD^
Then, I move the patch into the Guix source tree, add it to the package
definition and gnu-system.am, and see if it works as expected.
Thanks.
I realize that I'm way in over my head in trying to get this
cups-package to work.
Could somebody mentor me on this one?
Outstanding issues are:
1) understanding whether patching of the makefiles is necessary given
that what we want is it to log to /var/log/cups/? In the case yes I
would like to patch the makefiles.
2) understanding how to code the package object to put the cups.conf
locally in .guix-profile/etc/cups/cups.conf and if it should be a
symlink to the store or an editable file?
Looking at vpnc in
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/vpn.scm I do
not quite understand how 2) is achieved as it is not that clearly
documented and might be buggy (see other thread). Could somebody point
me to a package object that successfully does this?
