When importing a package from MELPA, the source for generated package
definition points to a (potentially unstable?) MELPA URL.

However, looking at (guix import elpa), it has a ‘melpa-recipe->origin’
procedure, which calls the ‘git-repository->origin’ procedure, which
returns an origin that uses ‘git-fetch’.
#+begin_src scheme
(define (git-repository->origin recipe url)
"Fetch origin details from the Git repository at URL for the provided MELPA
RECIPE."
(define ref
(cond
((assoc-ref recipe #:branch)
=> (lambda (branch) (cons 'branch branch)))
((assoc-ref recipe #:commit)
=> (lambda (commit) (cons 'commit commit)))
(else
'(branch . "master"))))
(let-values (((directory commit) (download-git-repository url ref)))
`(origin
(method git-fetch)
(uri (git-reference
(url ,url)
(commit ,commit)))
(sha256
(base32
,(bytevector->nix-base32-string
(file-hash directory (negate vcs-file?) #t)))))))
(define* (melpa-recipe->origin recipe)
"Fetch origin details from the MELPA recipe and associated repository for
the package named PACKAGE-NAME."
(define (github-repo->url repo)
(string-append "https://github.com/" repo ".git"))
(define (gitlab-repo->url repo)
(string-append "https://gitlab.com/" repo ".git"))
(match (assq-ref recipe ':fetcher)
('github (git-repository->origin recipe (github-repo->url (assq-ref recipe ':repo))))
('gitlab (git-repository->origin recipe (gitlab-repo->url (assq-ref recipe ':repo))))
('git (git-repository->origin recipe (assq-ref recipe ':url)))
(#f #f) ; if we're not using melpa then this stops us printing a warning
(_ (warning (G_ "Unsupported MELPA fetcher: ~a, falling back to unstable MELPA source.~%")
(assq-ref recipe ':fetcher))
#f)))
#+end_src
‘melpa-recipe->origin’ is used in the ‘elpa-package->sexp’ procedure,
and takes precedence over the ‘url-fetch’ origin. Meaning that
‘melpa-source’ must have been #f, otherwise it shouldn’t have used
’url-fetch’.
#+begin_src scheme
(define melpa-source
(melpa-recipe->origin melpa-recipe))
(values
`(package
(name ,(elpa-name->package-name name))
(version ,version)
(source ,(or melpa-source ;here
(let ((tarball (with-store store
(download-to-store store source-url))))
`(origin
(method url-fetch)
(uri (string-append ,@(factorize-uri source-url version)))
(sha256
(base32
,(if tarball
(bytevector->nix-base32-string (file-sha256 tarball))
"failed to download package")))))))
...))
#+end_src
What’s weird is that calling ‘elpa->guix-package’ in the REPL generates
a package definition that uses ’git-fetch’ instead of ’url-fetch’

Okay, so new findings:
When the (guix import elpa) module has been compiled, the generated
package definition uses ‘url-fetch’ to fetch the source.

However, if the (guix import elpa) module hasn’t been compiled, say I
just add a dummy comment to it, then the generated package definition
uses ‘git-fetch’ instead of ‘url-fetch’. Notice the messages emitted by
Guile.

I came up with a hack to fix the issue, see the diff below
diff --git a/guix/import/elpa.scm b/guix/import/elpa.scm
index c0dc5acf51..0d07b4b35e 100644
--- a/guix/import/elpa.scm
+++ b/guix/import/elpa.scm
@@ -335,7 +335,8 @@ the package named PACKAGE-NAME."

(define melpa-recipe
- (if (eq? repo 'melpa)
+ ;; XXX: Otherwise (eq? repo 'melpa) always seems to return #f.
+ (if (force (delay (eq? repo 'melpa)))
(package-name->melpa-recipe (elpa-package-name pkg))
#f))
I am not sure if this is a good workaround, though. Any thoughts?

This is a miscompilation error that
d21353adea700b7f008d7a9f047d9f8b9c422cfb works around, presumably the
same as <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/48368>.
Thanks,
