Is this intended? Concrete example (using refresh to a specific version): Package "xlsxio" has no version 0.2.30. When trying to refresh to this version, the github updater comes first and of course fails to get this version. Then the generic-git updater is triggered and tries to get the version. IMHO each package should be handled by a single updater. What do you think? BTW 1: There are other packages which are handled be several updaters: If you sum up the percent valued of "guix refresh --list-updaters" you will get about 140%. Anyhow the generic-git updater contributed with about 30% to this amount. BTW 2: Which updater is used for each package is non-deterministic. -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goebel@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
