Hi Guix,

Here's a patch to add pbgzip.  Lint complains that there is no release 
on the Github page, but there's nothing I can do about it.

Kind regards,
Roel Janssen

I think using (git-version VERSION REVISION COMMIT) is preferred.
Something like (git-version "0.0.0" "0" commit).

Use (git-file-name name version).

IIRC, phases don’t have to return #t, so you could remove ‘zero?’.

Builds fine, but I haven’t tested it.

Try running (system* "does-not-exist").  It will fail by returning
something non-zero.  If I recall how to call "invoke" correctly,
I would recommend (invoke "sh" "autogen.sh") here.  "invoke" raises
an exception when the command fails, instead of returning something.

Greetings,
Maxime.

While we're at it, can this phase replace 'bootstrap? It seems to me we
shouldn't need both phases.

This indeed seems to be the best thing to do.  I attached a new patch.

I had to leave autoconf and automake in the native-inputs because
otherwise the command "aclocal" and "autom4te" couldn't be found.

Thanks all for the feedback!  I hope this new patch is fine.

Kind regards,
Roel Janssen

Sure. I usually don't change descriptions as given by the creators of
the software, but I applied your suggestion.

Thank you for the elaborate suggestions!

I attached another version of the patch, which I hope is fine now. :)
