Hello,
When building "emacs-org-contrib" on core-updates-frozen, the following
message is printed:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

That's because
"/gnu/store/r3v4gkqqbxp2w739a0llvk9nrda9xn89-org-plus-contrib-20210809.tar"
is empty. I believe this is a consequence of:
cfcead2e515c0dae02127e5a76496463898be6b6, and in particular this
section:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; If SOURCE is a directory (such as a checkout), return a
;; directory. Otherwise create a tarball.
(cond
((file-is-directory? #+source)
(copy-recursively directory #$output
#:log (%make-void-port "w")))
((not #+comp)
(copy-file file #$output)) <---------- We should call repack
instead here for raw tarballs?
(else
(repack directory #$output)))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Maxim, could you please have a look?
Thanks,
Mathieu
