Adding spinneret to quicklisp-to-nix-systems.txt

Development

Hi all,

I’m trying to update the nyxt pkg in a local tree. The newer 2.2.0 tag has a dependency on the quicklist system spinneret which seems to be having difficulties figuring out how to get that integration fixed up.

After some mangling, I’m trying to figure out why quicklisp-to-nix is failing. The docs suggest using quicklisp-to-nix-system-info to figure out why the system is failing to install.

Here goes:

nix-shell --pure --run 'quicklisp-to-nix-system-info  --verbose spinneret'

And here I kinda am getting lost. It looks like FUN-INFO is being overwitten and failing. Any ideas? Am I totally headed in the wrong direction?

its something to do with parasitic systems
putting

"spinneret/cl-markdown"
"spinneret/ps"
"spinneret/tests"

into *blacklisted-parasites* in system-info.lisp seemingly works, but I don’t know what happens if nyxt starts using the parastitic bits.

Thanks, this seems to indeed fix the spinneret problem and allows us to update quicklisp and nyxt: quicklispPackages: 2021-10-21 -> 2021-12-09 by sternenseemann · Pull Request #151221 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub
