Actually I think that this particular patch could be replaced by
script snippet (untested) in spec:
for dir in doc emacs gnu nix; do
sed "s@%D%@${dir}@g" "${dir}/local.mk"
done
Furthermore, it requires usually fix once per release - when user run
`guix pull', it becomes irrelevant what is user running (but daemon
changes).
I must say I'm impressed by the effort to fully maintain CentOS 7 to
2020. If you don't want to go package way (which I think is
prefferable) I'm not against the reverting patch anymore.
Best regards,
S_W
