mass-renamed emacs-packages from "foo" to "emacs-foo". Unfortunately,
some package definitions use the package-name for building the URL.
That is for example the case in emacs-magit:
(define-public emacs-magit
(package
(name "emacs-magit")
(version "2.13.0")
(source (origin
(method url-fetch)
(uri (string-append
"https://github.com/magit/magit/releases/download/"
version "/" name "-" version ".tar.gz"))
Thus, it can no longer be built:
Starting download of /gnu/store/h01ag9sr8nxiqbnlblmxplnv43a2005j-emacs-magit-2.13.0.tar.gz
From https://github.com/magit/magit/releases/download/2.13.0/emacs-magit-2.13.0.tar.gz...
ERROR: download failed "https://github.com/magit/magit/releases/download/2.13.0/emacs-magit-2.13.0.tar.gz" 404 "Not Found"
Pierre, could you have a look into it?
Thanks
Björn

Oopsy, missed that indeed! xD
Sorry for the trouble, will fix as soon as possible.
By the way, I think using "name" for URLs is a bad practice, we only need
"version" there. What do you people think?

I agree. Whenever I've seen 'name' being used in URL definitions in the
past I wondered what the point is, since our naming doesn't necessarily
align with the name of the file to be downloaded.

I totally agree! I don't like this practice very much.

Very often the name we use, except for language specific packages, is the same
as upstream uses. "name" can be shorter than "whatever-long-name".
