Subject: [bug#54311] [PATCH] gnu: tint2: Update to 17.0.2.
Date: Wed, 09 Mar 2022 21:57:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <45349612-98FB-4846-96C1-38A229245BED@tobias.gr> (raw)

What Maxime means is that some forges (like GitHub) generate these archives on the fly, instead of the author uploading a 'stable' file. You can usually tell them apart by the URL, but I forget GitLab's conventions.
These archives might be cached for a while but if they are regenerated the hash could change even if the unpacked data didn't. This has happened in the past and breaks e.g. guix time-machine even if 'fixed' on master.
Hence we prefer git-fetch when available, or tarballs that look human-generated.
Kind regards,
T G-R
