Well, I think you can avoid the extraction. Something like:
exec wget -qO- $1 | tar tz
I have some tiny Guix script that extract the source URL from a package,
but I am not happy with it. Other said, from my point of view, the most
annoying part is to form the PyPI URL, i.e., get $1. :-) For instance, I
have something like,
guix download $(guix repl -- pypi.scm pygls@.13) | tar tz
and we could imagine a better UI. It could be nice to have an
extension, say “guix upstream”, that does some of the left part of the
pipe.
Cheers,
