Hi. I noticed this bug because it was mentioned in the guile-gnutls packaging:
;; url-fetch is used here to avoid a circular dependency with ;; git-download, see https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63331 (method url-fetch) (uri (string-append "mirror://gnu/gnutls/guile-gnutls-" version ".tar.gz")) I wonder if we couldn't use the 'git archive' guile-gnutls-vX.Y.Z- src.tar.gz tarballs instead of the 'make dist' guile-gnutls- X.Y.Z.tar.gz. Is there a reason the 'make dist' tarball is prefered here? Both tarballs are published as release artifacts: https://codeberg.org/guile-gnutls/guile-gnutls/releases I opened a merge request to make this change, and it do seems to build, but I would appreciate if someone could tell if adding autoconf+automake as dependencies causes problems for a potentially early bootstrap project like guile-gnutls? https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/1779 /Simon
