Yep!

Definitely not: it=E2=80=99s essentially a debugging statement, and it=E2=
=80=99s only
visible in the build log.

+                 ;; See <http://icl.cs.utk.edu/lapack-forum/archives/lapac=
k/msg01383.html>.
+                 'configure 'remove-non-free-files

It=E2=80=99s a case where =E2=80=98guix build -S=E2=80=99 will return the s=
ource including the
non-free files, which is clearly not what we want (though I gather that
the next upstream version of LAPACK will be fixed, right?).

Two things we could do: (1) add a =E2=80=98snippet=E2=80=99 field in =E2=80=
=98origin=E2=80=99, which is
where the =E2=80=98remove-file=E2=80=99 calls would appear, (2) host a free=
d version
under alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/mirror.

Hmm I=E2=80=99ll see if (1) can be implemented before 0.5 without triggerin=
g a
full rebuild.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
