Subject: Package definition - argument, fix for wrong file format before unpack
Date: Sat, 21 May 2022 20:16:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3eceaea9454f82f2d8c28af880f82ecb@sumou.com> (raw)

Hello everyone:

I'm trying to build some old apps - one of them is an emacs package only 
available now via the archive.org Wayback machine.

The problem is though that the download is an xxxx.tar.gz file in name - 
in fact it is really only a tar archive. So guix build fails with wrong 
file format error. Concretely - it is this file: 
https://web.archive.org/web/20110104020844/http://taiyaki.org/elisp/mell/src/mell-1.0.0.tar.gz

I think I should add some "(arguments" lines in the package recipe - 
replacing the unpack phase? However not sure exactly how - am searching 
but haven't found any examples fixing for such a problem.

Could someone advise me - how to specify the file should be unpacked as 
really just a tar archive so that the build can then proceed?

Many thanks.
