I tried several things, the most promising (I think) being this: (define-public pomdappi-dist (dist-package pomdappi (origin (method git-fetch) (uri (git-reference (url "@REPO@") (commit "@COMMIT@"))) (sha256 (base32 "@COMMIT_BASE32@")) (snippet #~(symlink #$(plain-file ".tarball-version" "@VERSION@") ".tarball-version"))))) However, I get "guix build: error: invalid name: `.tarball-version'" when running guix build. My idea was to create a file in the store containing the fixed string @VERSION@, and then symlink it withing the source as ".tarball- version". Could someone help me? divoplade
