Re: getting started with the texlive importer

Hi Guix,

I have been able to run the texlive importer after making some changes
to guix/import/texlive.scm:

          (build-system texlive-build-system)
          (arguments ,`(,'quote (#:tex-directory ,(string-join (list
component id) "/"))))
          (home-page ,home-page)

This successfully produces a definition, albeit without the hash field.

So it seems that the procedure 'download-svn-to-store ' is the source
of the original error.  Any ideas on how to fix?
