Speaking of java, I have a file gnu/packages/javac.in which is under version control, and which is required to compile guix. It has been introduced there:
commit 74574fd1e3fad5e0c1d061ce194e47dde0f7f175 Author: Ricardo Wurmus <[email protected]> Date: Tue Dec 23 12:31:50 2014 +0100 gnu: Add GCJ * gnu/packages/gcc.scm (gcj-4.8, ecj-bootstrap-4.8): New variables. * gnu/packages/javac.in: New file. Should this not be handled as a patch to one of these packages? Andreas
