Dear Guix,

I would like to add 4store.  The official website is currently offline,
but there is an effort going on to get it back on line:
  https://github.com/garlik/4store/issues/137

Therefore, I would like to propose to keep the dead website link as this
should sort itself out in time.

I had to patch some build system files to avoid the need for Git and to
avoid "mkdir -p /var/lib/4store".

Now that I've triple-checked the patch, I hope everything is fine.

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,
Roel Janssen

Why use this commit instead of the last release?

I think this makes sense. Try to remember to follow up on the resolution
of that bug report :)

Thanks, it's super annoying when the git metadata is required.

Dear Leo,

Thank you for taking the time to review my patch.

I like especially these subtle changes/fixes:
- run-time configurable HTTP log directory:
  commit 1725502cf01130ee80cf9b72249bbfc0f61f17fb
- Fix for potential pointer arithmetic error:
  commit 6e2b4a70d4934484706a67b688ac30f3ca7baf98

The changes between the official release and this version are not that
large.  It probably isn't a problem to package the latest official
release either, if that is preferable.

Ok, I will try to remember that. :)

Thanks again for your time.

It's true, those are nice changes to have. But then again, most of our
packages have some nice changes between the latest release and HEAD.

The best solution would be for 4store to issue a new release, especially
if that pointer arithmetic issue is a real problem. Can you ask them if
they are planning a new release soon?

Right.  I think it's too soon for a new release, as there are many
outstanding bugs to be fixed.  I reverted the version of my patch to the
latest official release.

I also changed the home-page link because 4store.org is still down and
it doesn't look like that is going to change any time soon.

I attached a new patch that should be fine.  When I applied the patch
myself I got two warnings about trailing whitespace.  I tried a modified
patch without spaces after the make target names, but it failed to apply
the patch when building 4store.  Therefore, I left the whitespace as is,
and I think we should leave the warnings be.

Thanks for your time and effort!

Kind regards,
Roel Janssen

So, no luck persuading them to issue a new release with those bug fixes?

Thanks for your work on this!

Okay, that makes sense. I tend to push back on packaging version control
snapshots, partially in an effort to prod upstream authors to release
with their bug fixes. But, if it's not time to release, it's not time to
release.

Maybe letting them know that we've packaged 4store will encourage them
:)

I thought about this case some more, and if you think there are some bug
fixes that should be applied to our package in the form of patches, that
works for me.

Okay.

I usually ignore those warnings in patch files.

Likewise!
