The reason is that elpa.gnu.org archives previous auctex versions with a .tar.lz extension. This throws out the Guix package source definition, which expects a .tar extension. I have considered a few ideas to solve this: i) track the last-but-one auctex version in Gnu Elpa. This way all versions would have the same extension. However, would the url-fetch method cope with the .tar.lz format? ii) use the git-fetch method with the upstream repository. However, the upstream version tag at http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/auctex.git is a smaller number than the Gnu Elpa version tag. This would result in an apparent downgrade. Would that be permissible? iii) use the git-fetch method to clone the auctex branch of the elpa.git repository (along the lines of 'git clone --single-branch -- branch externals/auctex .../elpa.git). As far as I can see this is not currently possible. Are there any insights or suggestions? Best regards, Paul.
