I am preparing my first package. I have questions about the output of
guix lint.
I have done:
`guix environment guix`
`./bootstrap`
`./configure --localstatedir=/var`
`make`
`make check`
On a new git branch I have added emacs-ace-link to emacs-xyz.scm which
is:
(define-public emacs-ace-link
(package
(name "emacs-ace-link")
(version "0.5.0")
(source
(origin
(method url-fetch)
(uri (string-append "https://github.com/abo-abo/ace-link/archive/";
version ".tar.gz"))
(file-name (string-append name "-" version ".tar.gz"))
(sha256
(base32
"0zcwz46lrfcmnv90wkhns03vmh3qjdd2m2qvfvs3wkyz5gh783rl"))))
(build-system emacs-build-system)
(propagated-inputs
`(("emacs-avy" ,emacs-avy)))
(home-page "https://github.com/abo-abo/ace-link";)
(synopsis "Quickly follow links in Emacs")
(description
"Currently, to jump to a link in a @file{Info-mode}, @file{help-mode},
@file{woman-mode}, @file{org-mode}, @file{eww-mode}, @file{compilation-mode},
@file{goto-address-mode} buffer, you can tab through the links to select the
one you want. This is an O(N) operation, where the N is the amount of links.
This package turns this into an O(1) operation. It does so by assigning a
letter to each link using avy.")

I have three questions about the output of:
`./pre-inst-env guix lint emacs-ace-link`
1) What is the significance of:
;;; note: source file /home/guix/u/guix/guix/gnu/packages/image-processing.scm
;;; newer than compiled
/home/guix/u/guix/guix/gnu/packages/image-processing.g
o
;;; note: source file /home/guix/u/guix/guix/gnu/packages/image-processing.scm
;;; newer than compiled
/run/current-system/profile/lib/guile/2.2/site-ccache/
gnu/packages/image-processing.go
This shows up many times for different scm files.
2) How should this be addressed?
gnu/packages/emacs-xyz.scm:1099:5: emacs-ace-link@0.5.0: the source URI should
not b
e an autogenerated tarball
Line 1099 is referring to origin.
3) How should this be addressed?
/home/guix/u/guix/guix/gnu/packages/emacs-xyz.scm:1095:2: emacs-ace-link@0.5.0:
line
1113 is way too long (417 characters)
Line 1113 is referring to the text of the description.
Looking at other packages in emacs-xyz.scm there are other packages that
have longer descriptions than the one here for emacs-ace-link.
