Hello Dale, Thanks for the updated patch. I will suggest another few improvements, then I think it should be good to go. :-) Dale Mellor writes: > From b1506404e27552a171fe535144b2d11b6aa67cfa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 > From: Dale Mellor > Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2020 23:53:07 +0100 > Subject: [PATCH] gnu: Add curlpp library. > > * gnu/packages/curl.scm (curlpp): New variable.

Also, license:x11-style is a procedure that takes two arguments: an URI and optionally a comment. However reading the source files, it looks like the standard "Expat" license, so you can use license:expat instead. Can you send an updated patch? TIA!
