The example I know of is Dolphin, a video game console emulator. >> + ;; No versioned archive available. >> + (uri "http://www.lonesock.net/files/soil.zip";) > > Normally, this would not work: As soon as a new version comes out, we would > lose the old one, except for a copy on hydra that might be garbage collected. > So I think it would be preferable to use an svn checkout. > > In this particular case, since there are no new releases, the argument > becomes moot...
