Subject: [bug#70499] [PATCH v2 0/3] Lint package order.

Hi Herman,

Herman Rimm <herman <at> rimm.ee> skribis:

Nice.

I’m not sure I understand.  The alpabetical checker is part of another
patch set, right?  (I know I’ve seen it, but I’m afraid I’ve lost track
of it. :-))

Anyway, we can and should discuss ‘--whole-file’ independently of the
alphabetical-order checker.

>   guix: Move ‘package-location<?’ to (guix packages).
>   ui: Make 'user-module' parameter of 'load*' optional.
>   scripts: lint: Add 'whole-file' option with ordering lint.

This LGTM modulo minor issues:

  • The second patch looks unrelated to ‘--whole-file’, I’d drop it from
    this series.

  • The third patch misses just one thing: a test in
    ‘tests/guix-lint.sh’.

Could you send an updated patch series?

Thanks, and apologies for the delay!

Ludo’.
