So there are only two options. 1. Create a patch for the package - that means bump up the version in the Cargo.toml and fix all the stuff in the code so that it works. Then send this PR to the project and include the patch in patches directory. 2. Include the required package definition in the Guix cargo-*.scm file even if there is a version similar to the one that I package or if the version is an older one. The substitution is possible only in rare cases. This is also probably applicable to other languages, right? > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Regards > > Hartmut Goebel > > | Hartmut Goebel | [email protected] | > > | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
