[bug#29745] [PATCH 0/3] Disallow phase returning <unspecified>.

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi,

> Patch 1 modifies gnu-build-system to explicitly check the return value of each
> phase for an unspecified value, and if found consider that phase to have
> failed.
>
> Patch 2 fixes several phases in gnu-build-system by making them return #t
> instead of an unspecified value.
>
> Patch 3 fixes the phases in several packages to return #t instead of an
> unspecified value. I was testing patch 1, by trying to build bash. In doing
> so, I found that the custom phases of many packages were not properly
> returning #t, and fixed all those packages. No doubt, there are many more
> packages that need fixing.

this is a step in the right direction.  Thank you for these patches.  In
my opinion, this can go straight to core-updates, but as it is a change
with wide-ranging consequences, I’d prefer for Ludovic to confirm that
it’s okay.
