guix import texlive fails because of svn

[Matthew Leach]

Hi Guix,

I'm trying to import a texlive package with the command: `guix import
texlive savetrees'.  I get the following output:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
following redirection to `https://ctan.org/xml/1.2/pkg/savetrees'...

I have subversion installed and when I try to execute the subversion
command manutally it succeeds:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
matthew@picard ~ $ svn export --non-interactive --trust-server-cert -r 49435 svn://www.tug.org/texlive/tags/texlive-2018.2/Master/texmf-dist/source/latex/savetrees /tmp/foobar

A    /tmp/foobar/savetrees.dtx
A    /tmp/foobar/savetrees.ins
Exported revision 49435.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Hi Matthew

I had the same problem some days ago:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2020-01/msg00017.html

The logs are really similar, and we both performed the same svn command
successfully.

I still am unable to run the TeX Live importer though. Were you able to
make it work after sending this message to the list?

I'm afraid that I've had no success in getting this working.  I'm still
unable to 'guix import' packages from TeXlive.  If you find a solution,
please let me know!

Looking at the strace output I see that SVN complains about the temp
directory already existing.  This happens in download-svn-to-store in
guix/svn-download.scm where we generate a temporary directory and pass
it as an argument to build:svn-fetch.

Yes, this must be a bug.

Hi Ricardo,

This looks like a good opportunity for me to try to start hacking on
Guix itself. I've contributed with some patches to packages before, but
I'd  also like to start working on Guix.

I'll try to fix the issue in the next days and prepare a patch. How does
that sound?

Just saying this so we don't work on the same issue and have duplicate
effort.

Thanks for coordinating.  I haven’t yet found time to work on this, so
I’ll gladly leave this up to you.

Thanks!
