Hello Antero,
Thank you for the patch. Sorry for the delayed reply, holidays and
such. I was able to apply your patch and build a form package.
A few comments:

This may be better as a comment near the `supported-systems` field,
along with a short summary of which tests fail on other systems.

This commit is downstream from the 4.3.0 release, so we should include
in a comment the rationale for not using just the 4.3.0 release
tarball.

This snippet appears to be related to the specifics of this package
build? E.g. if someone were to grab the source with `guix build -S
form`, they would not be able to have valgrind support, correct? If
that's the case, perhaps it would be better to apply this substitution
in a build phase.

For some other maths packages that have both a serial and MPI versions,
we've usually provided two packages. See e.g. `petsc` and `petsc-
openmpi`. This can be useful if someone does not need a full MPI-
capable version of form, and the separation is easily achieved.
Also, I see the default compilation flags include `-march=native`,
which will most likely cause a problem with build farm substitutes or
`guix challenge`. Could you figure out have to override these flags?
Guix usually assumes `SSE2` capabilities for x86_64 targets, iirc.
Bonus points for enabling a "tunable" package (c.f. "Package
Transformation Options").

Maybe we should use https://www.nikhef.nl/~form/ instead? This is the
URL specified in the included manpage.

Hello,
I think this package should be in algebra.scm, not maths.scm.
The names are not completely logical, actually maths is all maths that
is not algebra (and a few packages are already in the maths module although
they should not be).

No, it's disabling a failing test that has a known problem (memory
leak). Added a comment with the explanation.

Moved the openMPI version to the parform package.

I used the other homepage so people can skip the weird "license
agreement" page at https://www.nikhef.nl/~form/. But I changed it to
your suggestion in v2.
Thanks for the review.

Test failures should also be fixed at build time. Other than that, you
could also try to fix the memory leak that causes the failure via a
patch.

It does, but not for i386 to i686, which also often see sse2 flags in
build systems.

Calling the GPL a license agreement is weird, and it doesn't help that
https://www.nikhef.nl/~form/maindir/ also refers to it. Perhaps we can
raise an issue about that upstream?

Fixed the test failure at build time in v3.

I did some benchmarks on a few workloads with millions of terms. The
"tunable" optimizations didn't consistently improve the
performance. Sometimes it would be a couple percent faster, sometimes
slower. So I didn't mark the package as tunable.

I would prefer not to bother upstream further regarding the website,
since I already had to ask them to change an invalid license statement
in a file header (which they did).

Antero,
Thank you for your effort in this review.

I was watching my system load while `parform` was running its tests, and things did not
seem compute bound, so the package being not tunable seems fine to me.

Version 1 of the GPL used the term "license agreement" when describing itself, so the
phrasing is not *super* weird, just maybe a bit outdated. There are also plenty of free
software projects, e.g. nodejs, that present users with an "accept this license agreement"
prompt in their M$ installers.
I've pushed these patches in
15ee08ebf23ea6bc5be9fa157889419aa079076a and
31bed61b8278d3736cc29055d60db068a1160071
with a small adjustment to appease `guix lint`:
