Mere Pkgd Harness
@jeremy/mere-pkgd-harnessv2026.07.19.1
01README
Local integration-test harness for the mere <-> pkgd package-publish pipeline: builds both binaries, runs pkgd as a real background process against scratch directories, publishes a real signed test package to it over HTTP, and verifies the result — without touching the real /mere on the host.
02Release Notes
Fix false-positive startup: fail when pkgd never creates its socket, terminate the child, and only record a reachable instance.

Global Arguments
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| mereRepoPath | string | Local git checkout of codeberg.org/merelinux/mere to build from |
| pkgdRepoPath | string | Local git checkout of codeberg.org/merelinux/pkgd to build from |
| scratchDir | string | Root scratch directory for this harness run — everything lives under here, nothing touches the real /mere |
fn hash_source(url: string)
Download a source URL to a temp file and compute its blake3 hash via the mere binary
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| url | string | URL to download and hash |
fn build()
Compile mere (zig build) and pkgd (go build) from their local checkouts
fn start()
Generate a throwaway signing key and start pkgd as a background process against fresh scratch directories
fn publish_test_package(recipePath: string)
Build a real signed test package via `mere dev build` and POST it to the running pkgd instance's /publish
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| recipePath | string | Path to a recipe.kdl to build, e.g. a small recipe from the recipes checkout |
fn verify_published(packageName: string)
Confirm a package landed in the published repo.db (queried directly, sidestepping any HTTP-layer caching)
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| packageName | string |
fn verify_properties(packageName: string)
Verify that a package's properties column in repo.db contains the expected recipe metadata (description, url, licenses, source_urls)
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| packageName | string |
fn stop()
Kill the running pkgd instance and remove all scratch directories
