[bug#62154] [PATCH 0/4] gnu: inetutils: Update to 2.4.

[Felix Lechner via Guix-patches via <guix-patches@gnu.org>]

Below please find a patch to update GNU Inetutils to the latest version.

There are some remaining 'lint' warnings.

> gnu/packages/admin.scm:937:12: inetutils@2.4: label 'coreutils*' does not match package name 'coreutils'

I was unable to convert the regular inputs due to the asterisk in coreutils.

> gnu/packages/admin.scm:948:5: inetutils@2.4: proposed description:
>      "Inetutils is a collection of common network programs, such as an ftp
> client and server, a telnet client and server, and an rsh client and server."

The suggested description leaves out the 'hostname' command.

> gnu/packages/admin.scm:900:12: inetutils@2.4: source not archived on Software Heritage and missing from the Disarchive database

We could pull the sources from Git, but Guix seems to prefer tarballs.

Finally, there is a compilation warning related to the ordering of
(define-public ...). 'shadow' follows immediately below.

> guix build: error: gnu/packages/admin.scm:897:2: package `inetutils@2.4' has an invalid input: #<package shadow@4.9
> gnu/packages/admin.scm:955 7f15cd722c60>"

Felix Lechner (4):
  gnu: Update inetutils to 2.4; use tar.xz.
  gnu: inetutils: Convert to gexp.
  gnu: inetutils: Use new-style inputs.
  gnu: inetutils: Apply formatting rules (non-functional change).
