That’s good, thanks. The patch looks pretty good to me now, except maybe for this + (uri + (let ((name-version-tar + (string-append name "-" version ".tar.gz"))) + (string-append + "http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/"; name "/" + name-version-tar "/" + "e089b28a0267faabdb6c079ee173664a/" + name-version-tar))) I find the let binding a bit too ... much :) But if nobody else has a problem with this, I wouldn’t complain. Thanks! ~~ Ricardo
