For 1 and 2 I agree. I wasn't sure about the relation and exact reasons, which is why I asked to make sure someone didn't miss something. Thank you for answering this part of my message. By the way as a general note regarding gnurl (gnURL ?), if this bug is fixed before the next release (of cURL), I can use "make dist" again: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2016-12/msg00218.html (quoting) “ltmain.sh” is instantiated from a template by libtool. It originally contains a /bin/sh shebang, and I think it should not be patched when installed to /gnu/store/…-libtool-2.4.6/share/libtool/build-aux/ltmain.sh This seems like a bug to me. Definitely: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ head -1 $(find $(guix build libtool) -name ltmain.sh) #!/gnu/store/qkw4zrwfybxww8f56nkb6hggxambk89b-bash-4.4.0/bin/sh --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- > (*) For example, Apple appstore forbids GPL, but AFAIK not LGPL.
