Hello! I'm trying to add a patch to 'gzip', but it causes an infinite loop and eventually the system runs out of memory.
It can be reproduced by adding this hunk:
modified gnu/packages/compression.scm
@@ -215,6 +215,7 @@ adding and extracting files to/from a tar archive.")
(method url-fetch)
(uri (string-append "mirror://gnu/gzip/gzip-"
version ".tar.xz"))
+ (snippet '(#t))
(sha256
(base32
"16h8g4acy7fgfxcjacr3wijjsnixwsfd2jhz3zwdi2qrzi262l5f"))))
[back]I guess this is because gzip itself is a patch input. Is this something that can be fixed, or do we have to use "patching phases" in these cases?
