README

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
  - Git

A convenient way to install those dependencies is to install Guix and execute
the following command:

  ./build-aux/guix-env

This will build and enter an environment which provides all the necessary
dependencies.

Example
=======

A quick way to manually test Cuirass is to execute:

  ./pre-inst-env cuirass --specifications=tests/hello-singleton.scm --database=test.db

This will read the file "tests/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
