Hi Pierre,

Pierre Neidhardt <mail@ambrevar.xyz> skribis:

> * gnu/packages/backup.scm (libarchive)[inputs]: Include zstd.
> [arguments]: Build against zstd.

Here you=E2=80=99re modifying =E2=80=98libarchive=E2=80=99, which has tons =
of dependents.

If you instead modify =E2=80=98libarchive-3.3.3=E2=80=99, you=E2=80=99ll be=
 able to apply it
directly on master, and follow up with a patch to apply the changes on
=E2=80=98libarchive=E2=80=99 itself in =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
