Hi,
I'm trying to package some emacs libraries that appear not to have a
GNU style installation procedure. Given that MELPA is unusable, I'm
trying to use 'git-fetch'.
The package 'emacs-dash' (see attachment) works as expected. However,
the package 'emacs-s' also downloads 'dash' and not 's'. I cloned with
git the two repositories with the given URLs and they definitely are
different.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Fede
P.S. The hash of 'emacs-s' is wrong. It is a copy of the one for
'emacs-dash' and I will change it once I manage to download the right
repo.

Are you deleting the '.git' directory before computing the hash of the
directory? That is a necessary step.
Consider this a call for someone to extend 'guix download' to work
with Git repositories so people don't have to do this tedious process.
Any takers?

Thanks for the suggestion! Probably I didn't explain well... see the
reply to Ludovic.

Both recipes are telling that they use the same source. So the daemon
cleverly saves one download since it already has the thing with that
hash on disk. See? :-)

Thanks for the reply!
I thought about this and, before posting, I also tried with an hash
where the first character was changed from '0' to '6'. It gave the
same result, even after deleting any existing 'emacs-dash' and
'emacs-s' derivation in the store. In my understanding that shouldn't
happen. Is that correct?
By changing the hash to a totally different one (a string of '6's) it
downloads the right repo. As expected, it complains about the hash and
gives me the right one which I can copy into the package recipe.
(That's The Lazy work-flow :-).)

Fede

Right, but we’d have to check the exact sequence of actions that you
took.

Heh. :-)
It’s a good idea to clone by hand though and check the signatures if
there are signed tags or commits (“trust on first clone”), but I’m
afraid this is not commonplace.

Basically I did:
1. write the package for emacs-dash
2. guix build emacs-dash
3. copy emacs-dash and make emacs-s out of it, keeping the hash unchanged
4. guix build emacs-s
Boom: in the generated derivation I find dash.el instead of s.el.
5. change the first char of the hash 0->6
Boom: same.
6. change the full hash to a sequence of 6s.
OK, now I get the expected result.
7. change hash, rebuild and inspect.

Fede

So you’re saying the two hashes that differed by one digit were
considered the same, essentially.
Could you check if there’s a simple way to reproduce it?
Thanks,

May I ask, why are you trying to use 'git-fetch'? There are releases
for both "dash" and "s":
