For example, I borrowed the technique used by emacs-pdf-tools to package=20 emacs-telega, resulting in both packages failing to build: Here is the code for emacs-telega: https://git.sr.ht/~brettgilio/cfg/tree/master/channel/non-gnu/packages/emac= s-xyz.scm#L99 The issue is in this phase for both emacs-pdf-tools and my channel=20 package: (add-after 'compress-documentation 'emacs-set-emacs-load-path (assoc-ref emacs:%standard-phases 'set-emacs-load-path)) Resulting in: starting phase `emacs-set-emacs-load-path' Backtrace: 5 (primitive-load "/gnu/store/5b1p1gsvfyi4fbx4s42rhab2dns=E2=80= =A6") In ice-9/eval.scm: 191:35 4 (_ _) In ice-9/boot-9.scm: 829:9 3 (catch _ _ # =E2=80=A6) In srfi/srfi-1.scm: 863:16 2 (every1 # =E2=80=A6) In=20 /gnu/store/zmkgrvvhmrix2b1z7id6zrg9bb7qxzdl-module-import/guix/build/gnu-bu= ild-system.scm: 839:30 1 (_ _) In unknown file: 0 (_ #:source "/gnu/store/qw8xbmk6ryl9a2jrp0gip3yffmsdix=E2=80= =A6" =E2=80=A6) ERROR: Wrong type to apply: #f If we suspect that changes are going to be non-backwards compatible=20 could we use the news system to pass along that message? Much=20 appreciated. Thanks. Brett Gilio
