Hi Is there any infrastructure to run a system-wide test suite, or at least a per-package test suite? I'm not thinking of 'make check' that is run during build, but of something similar to Debian's debci/autopkgtest to test that an installed package works as expected (which may include running the same self-checks as 'make check' would, but on the installed package).
When designed for Guix, it could be even better than debci/autopkgtest, it could be something the Guix user could invoke on an installed system to verify that all the installed packages passes self-tests -- I miss that functionality from debci/autopkgtest. I'm considering packaging libgssglue for Guix and do some Kerberos related work on other related packages, but having confidence of any changes without proper testing of the resulting installed package is fragile. I'm sure other more complex parts of Guix could benefit from similar testing too. A system-wide testing of the published QEMU image would be useful, to gain confidence that we don't introduce regressions into a future release of the QEMU image. Maybe this already exists, and if so my question/request should be converted into a request for publicity around the feature and a pointer to its documentation. :) /Simon
