bug#30345: guix refreh --type=kde does not update all KF5 packages

[Hartmut Goebel]

Hi,

I'm again experiencing issues with "guix refresh" and KDE packages:

./pre-inst-env guix refresh --update --type=kde

does not update

* kirigami: the archive is named "kirigami2-*"

  For this, I thought there is some way to tweak guix, but I did not
find it in the manual.

* kdelibs4suport and all other "porting Aids" living in the
sub-directory "/portingAids"

This is like bugs [25020] and [29071]. 25020 says,
026f6a42b680207a59beadf0b0b9cc1753f55605 should solve part of the issue,
but if you look at the second line for the "guix refresh" output in
[#31], you can see that it does not handle the sub-directory

bug#30345: Other KDE updates are not working, too

[Hartmut Goebel]

I jsut discovered that

- kpmcore
https://download.kde.org/stable/kpmcore/3.3.0/src/kpmcore-3.3.0.tar.xz

- libkomparediff2 (even after switching the URL to mirror://kde/

are not updated, too.

Running

./pre-inst-env guix refresh -u kpmcore

Hi Hartmut,

Did you try setting the ‘upstream-name’ property as we discussed several
times I think?

Indeed, I’ve added it now.

When looking at [#31] I don’t see any problem.  Can you be more
specific?

You reported issues with the KDE updater several times, but we seem to
be running in circles here.  We now have three bug reports on the same
topic, which makes it harder for me to keep track of things.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

bug#30345: guix refreh --type=kde does not update all KF5 packages

[Ludovic Courtès]

Also, any updates on using mechanisms other than FTP to determine what
versions are available upstream?

We discussed that and I updated the GNOME and GNU updaters to no longer
use FTP: <https://bugs.gnu.org/28159>.  Could you see how this can be
done for KDE?  Perhaps that will involve discussing with upstream to see
if they already publish package metadata in some form.

TIA,
Ludo’.
