In some cases the "guix import go" command fails when attempting to checkout the source for a module using a tag which does not exist in the repo.
Upon further investigation, I have found guix/import/go.scm will use the version string as tag. While this works most of the time, some module vendors use a different tagging scheme. For example, the azure-sdk-for-go repository contains many modules and the version tags are namespaced by module name. The tag for version v1.3.0 of azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/storage/azblob is storage/azblob/v1.3.0. $ curl -s 'https://proxy.golang.org/github.com/!azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/storage/azblob/@v/v1.3.0.info' | jq { "Version": "v1.3.0", "Time": "2024-02-12T16:20:44Z", "Origin": { "VCS": "git", "URL": "https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go";, "Subdir": "sdk/storage/azblob", "Ref": "refs/tags/sdk/storage/azblob/v1.3.0", "Hash": "d5dfa9296a115cc5094b14198b7114a64a490994" } } I have a patch to fix this, but I would like to discuss the approach before submitting it. Should I reply to this bug report with the patch? Here is the backtrace when attempting to run import on storage/azblob $ guix import go github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/storage/azblob Backtrace: 14 (primitive-load "/home/rfb/.config/guix/current/bin/guix") In guix/ui.scm: 2324:7 13 (run-guix . _) 2287:10 12 (run-guix-command _ . _) In guix/scripts/import.scm: 80:6 11 (guix-import . _) In ice-9/boot-9.scm: 1752:10 10 (with-exception-handler _ _ #:unwind? _ # _) In guix/scripts/import/go.scm: 116:29 9 (_) In ice-9/exceptions.scm: 406:15 8 (go-module->guix-package* . _) In ice-9/boot-9.scm: 1752:10 7 (with-exception-handler _ _ #:unwind? _ # _) In guix/import/go.scm: 532:19 6 (go-module->guix-package "github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-f…" …) In guix/git.scm: 295:4 5 (update-cached-checkout _ #:ref _ #:recursive? _ # _ # _ …) 281:19 4 (resolve _) In git/reference.scm: 60:8 3 (_ _ _) In git/bindings.scm: 77:2 2 (raise-git-error _) In ice-9/boot-9.scm: 1685:16 1 (raise-exception _ #:continuable? _) 1683:16 0 (raise-exception _ #:continuable? _) ice-9/boot-9.scm:1683:16: In procedure raise-exception: Git error: reference 'refs/tags/v1.3.1' not found
