Very neat! I knew about version-major+minor, but not this one.

I will try it out. Given the build time and the fact that parallel builds do not work (but they seemed to have worked for John last year, I have no idea why there is a problem now), things advance at a very leisurely pace. Now that I deleted my which.go, I need to recompile with the which from base. So this will be the build process for tonight, tomorrow, I can try out something else :-) On Mon, Jun 01, 2015 at 02:52:05PM +0200, John Darrington wrote: > Obviously any exercise in Free Software is "doable" (we have the source code!) > but, my experience in packaging for Guix tells me that it can be very easy to > fall into the trap of making changes to the upstream packages which > effectively > forks them. Then we become the maintainer of a forked package. Of course that is something we should avoid. With a bit of luck here, though, libreoffice will compile with a non-patched xmlsec tarball. After all, we will not install binaries or scripts from xmlsec (at least I hope so), so maybe the patch-shebang phase is not really required. We will see. Andreas
