Hmm, that still means there’s a bug with top-level file handling in
(guix union). I’ll investigate later.
A few comments:
> + (copy-file (string-append out "/link/libnetpbm.a")
> + (string-append out "/lib/libnetpbm.a"))
> + ;; copy static library
This comment should be just above.
> + (system* "rm" "-r" (string-append out "/link"))

This reminds me we need an ‘rm -rf’ in (guix build utils). (There’s one
using ‘file-system-fold’ in mysql.scm, if you’re curious, but it’s OK to
call out to Coreutils in the meantime. ;-))

The comment should be above, and you could instead write:
(with-directory-excursion out
(for-each delete-file
'("config_template" "pkginfo" "README" "VERSION")))
> + (license gpl2)
It seems to be more complex than this. Some files in lib/ have this:
** Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and its
** documentation for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted, provided
** that the above copyright notice appear in all copies and that both that
** copyright notice and this permission notice appear in supporting
** documentation. This software is provided "as is" without express or
** implied warranty.
Others in analyzer/ have GPLv2+, others have this:
All work has been contributed to the public domain by its authors.
Debian lists a number of other issues, including unknown-status and
non-free parts:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/n/netpbm-free/netpbm-free_10.0-12.2/libnetpbm10.copyright
The software black-list (http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Software_blacklist)
doesn’t mention it.
So perhaps we should remove things that Debian remove, and use something
more representative in the ‘license’ field?
(You really picked up a hard one. ;-))
Thanks,
Ludo’.
