Packing dockapps for GNU Guix
Hello, Hopefully this is the right mailing list for my request. I want to package wmbattery (and other dockapps) for GNU Guix. I noticed when downloading the source code for wmbattery from http://windowmaker.org/dockapps/?name=wmbattery that the tarball is generated on request, which changes the checksum of the file each time it is downloaded. GNU Guix requires each package to have a checksum to check the source code download against, so this is a bit problematic. Is there a way that this might be changed? If not, is there another place I can get the dockapps from? -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
