Hello all, I have been playing around with the 'guix import' tools to see how easily I can get some package definitions. In the process of trying to package https://github.com/Spotifyd/spotifyd with 'guix import crate spotifyd -r' I found that one of the nested dependencies, libpulse-sys@0.0.0 did not work with the automatic importer because it does not have a license in its crate https://crates.io/crates/libpulse-sys/0.0.0.
Obviously it would be ideal to get whoever is using this out-of-date library in their package to update their dependencies so this is entirely avoided, but short of that has there ever been discussion on how to handle 'license-less' packages? I haven't seen any in my short time lurking on this list. It seems to be a rigid requirement for the crate importer.
