Hi Hilton,thank you for your swift response and guidance. I'll attempt to send a patch.I already started to set up my local environment.On Sat, 12 Aug 2023 at 18:12, Hilton Chain <hako@ultrarare.space> wrote:Hi Piotr,

It seems that emacs-orderless in Guix wasn't really updated to 1.0,
only the version field was changed.

That's not enough, the hash in (sha256 (base32 [...])) needs changing
as well.
And when updating an untagged revision to a tagged release, we usually
drop the outer let form, and use the value from version field for
commit.
For example, the original definition:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-public emacs-orderless
(let ((commit [...]))
(package
(name "emacs-orderless")
(version [...])
(source
(origin
(method git-fetch)
(uri (git-reference
(url "https://github.com/oantolin/orderless")
(commit commit)))
(file-name (git-file-name name version))
(sha256
(base32 [...]))))
[...])))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
would be changed to:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-public emacs-orderless
(package
(name "emacs-orderless")
(version "1.0")
(source
(origin
(method git-fetch)
(uri (git-reference
(url "https://github.com/oantolin/orderless")
(commit version))) ; <- see here
(file-name (git-file-name name version))
(sha256
(base32 [...])))) ; <- hash is changed as well
[...]))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
BTW the hash can be obtained with `guix hash' [1]:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
git clone https://[...] emacs-orderless
cd emacs-orderless
git checkout 1.0
guix hash -rx .
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Would you like to get familiar with the process by going through the
way [2] to make your first contribution? ;)
I can send a patch if you prefer, and it may take a few days to get
the change into Guix.
Thanks

(Not sure why this issue isn't on the mailing list, but is available
in Debbugs. Still under moderation?)
