Hello Guix,
We distribute emacs packages from gnu/elpa by downloading .tar files
from there: I’m thinking about emacs-ggtags.
My first concern is, what emacs-ggtags 0.9.0 corresponds to exactly ?
There is no 0.9.0 tag in upstream github reposotory, and, if I
understand it correctly, elpa just mirrors it
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/elpa.git/log/?h=externals/ggtags
So what exactly 0.9.0 is ? They bump on the 2018-07-26. Does it refer
to something more recent ? How to know ? This is for sure elpa
related, ... but we are distributing packages based on their criteria.
It would be great to understand how it goes (at this point, I cannot
clone elpa, for some reason).
My second concern is, how do we distribute some more up to date (think
emacs-magit), if we use a .tar from elpa ? When developer decides not
to / forgets to tag a new release, how do we proceed ? Do we use
elpa.gnu.org/devel instead ? I cannot see any example of guix sources.
Best,
C.
