[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

This is my first packaging attempt, so careful critiques are very welcome.

The package definition itself is pretty bog standard, apart from how the "doc" output is supplied. Upstream provides the official documentation as a pdf offered separately from the source. I decided to include this as an input and manually copy it over. Upstream does also have a repo with the TeX sources. Would it be better to typset it directly instead?

Also, regarding my `install-doc' phase, is the way I copy over the /gnu/store/<hash>-metamath.pdf file reasonable? Unfortunately, `install-file' doesn't allow renaming the destination, so I had to mimic its effect. Is there a better, or more idiomatic way to do this kind of thing?

Anyway, cheers and guix!

Certainly. I removed the book-revision and book-version bindings, since
they were not used in the current package definition, tweaked a bit the
description, and applied your patch.

I hope we can have the book either as a doc output, or as a separate
package, bundled at some point. Meanwhile, I'm closing this bug report.
