Hello Guix! As a followup to our recent discussion¹, I pushed the following commits to ‘core-updates’:
16111ad11c gnu: gcc: Phases no longer return a Boolean. 3504e39a5d gnu: base, gcc: Removing trailing #t from snippets. 325d00e619 packages: Ignore return value of origin snippets. 4cebe82fa6 build-system/texlive: Phases no longer return a Boolean. 49eadd270c build-system/minify: Phases no longer return a Boolean. 112982526f gnu: base, commencement: Remove trailing #t from build phases. 04baa011e9 build-system/gnu: Ignore the result of phase procedures. With these changes, the return value of origin snippets and build phases is now ignored. It had been deprecated, with a warning emitted at build time, since March 2018 (notably commit daac9c77b9ed25a3c0edf843fdfe5e209ebef58f). The introduction of ‘invoke’ (commit 3f65c190d23296e7e718c3deff413e8beb61d8ba), which would raise an error when a program exits with non-zero, was also an enabler. Because of that I’m quite confident that breakage is unlikely, but we’ll keep an eye on it. I only removed trailing #t in a couple of files unlikely to result in merge conflicts down the road, as Marius rightfully suggested on IRC. That’s it! Thoughts? Comments? #t!
