Tidy is an application/library for fixing problems with HTML markup that
is depended on by a number of other projects. However, tidy hasn't been
updated since about 2009 and does not provide release tarballs. There's
only a CVS repo, and it seems impossible to download a tarball snapshot
of a specific revision.
Their homepage is here: http://tidy.sourceforge.net/
Debian hosts a tarball for their source package, but we probably don't
want to rely on that.
I'm not sure how to proceed. Thoughts?

I had packaged it in Nixpkgs and I ended up using a CVS checkout.
However, you would need to first write (guix cvs-download), based on
(guix svn-download). :-)

Thanks, I will do that. Or, if someone else beats me to it that is
fine, too. :)
