From 1b846da8c372bee78851439fd9e72b2499115e5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathieu Lirzin Date: Sun, 28 Feb 2016 23:11:36 +0100 Subject: utils: Use '@' for separating package names and version numbers. This provides the ability to use numbers in package names. Fixes . * guix/utils.scm (package-name->name+version): New procedure. * gnu/packages.scm (%find-package): Add a FALLBACK? keyword argument. Use the previous method when no package is found. (specification->package+output, specification->package): Adapt documentation to new syntax. * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix package, Invoking guix import): Likewise. * guix/ui.scm (package-specification->name+version+output): Likewise. * guix/scripts/import/hackage.scm (show-help): Likewise. * tests/guix-build.sh: Adapt to new syntax. * tests/guix-lint.sh: Likewise. * tests/guix-package.sh: Likewise. * tests/ui.scm ("package-specification->name+version+output"): Likewise. * tests/utils.scm ("package-name->name+version"): Likewise. * NEWS: Mention new syntax. --- doc/guix.texi | 12 ++++++------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/guix.texi b/doc/guix.texi index 44653efc6a..082fe5a103 100644 --- a/doc/guix.texi +++ b/doc/guix.texi @@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ Copyright @copyright{} 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 Ludovic Courtès@* Copyright @copyright{} 2013, 2014, 2016 Andreas Enge@* Copyright @copyright{} 2013 Nikita Karetnikov@* -Copyright @copyright{} 2015 Mathieu Lirzin@* +Copyright @copyright{} 2015, 2016 Mathieu Lirzin@* Copyright @copyright{} 2014 Pierre-Antoine Rault@* Copyright @copyright{} 2015 Taylan Ulrich Bayırlı/Kammer@* Copyright @copyright{} 2015, 2016 Leo Famulari @@ -1285,14 +1285,14 @@ The @var{options} can be among the following: Install the specified @var{package}s.
