Hi David and thank you for the new Haunt release.

You need not care about it on old Guile IMHO, but in case you do,
check is buggy now.

guix shell --container -D guile2.2-haunt autoconf automake
./bootstrap
./configure
make
make check

The problem is that tests/helper.scm’s test-end returns unspecified.
This also breaks the check for haunt-0.2.6 on Parabola GNU/Linux-libre.

This seems to be a bug in Guile’s SRFI-64 implementation, fixed with
the later Guile commit f10bc1a86.  If I change Guix to use a patch of
the first hunk of that commit for Guile@2.2.7, it works.


Note that

guix build guile2.2-haunt \
--with-source=guile2.2-haunt='https://files.dthompson.us/haunt/haunt-0.2.6.tar.gz'

does not run tests at all according to its log file.  Neither does
guix build haunt.


Sorry for reporting this late.

Regards,
Florian
