Thanks! For me also, it builds well, but I cannot install it: $ guix-package -i netpbm error: build failed: build of `/nix/store/h2s02132641hvaqr03q96i97dydlqm4i- user-environment.drv' failed. Maybe because of the extraneous files? > There are extraneous file in the root of that directory: > bin/ config_template include/ lib/ link/ man/ misc/ pkginfo > README VERSION > Ideally, it’d be great to (re)move them.

Well, it was simply obtained from the download link of the "Advanced" field at http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/getting_netpbm.php The link is http://netpbm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/netpbm/advanced?view=tar which would download a tarball with the name "advanced?view=tar", and with the hash changing every time (I did not understand why). So I downloaded it manually and renamed it. It is really an official release with a regular version number, not simply an svn/git checkout. The version number is recorded in a file in the tarball (which was part of the download, I did not add anything). > (Eventually, we’ll have an ‘subversion-fetch’ method, in addition to > ‘url-fetch’, which could be used in such situations.) Before that, https would be nice! > Thanks, and congratulations given how painful it looked! Yes, it was quite amazing; once more, we should be grateful to the GNU build system... Andreas
