Hello,

Overall LGTM, modulo the following minor issues:

Normally, we only provide upstream releases.  If you think we need this
specific commit, could you add a comment explaining why?

Please leave the base32 sha256 string where it’s used, within the
(base32 …) expression (it’s a macro that decodes base32 at
compile-time.)

It would be best to run tests.  Alternatively, if this is not feasible,
please add a comment explaining why we’re skipping them.

Please write full sentences, as per
<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Synopses-and-Descriptions.html>.

Is it GPLv2-only?  Unless it’s explicitly stated, it’s probably
GPLv2-or-later (‘license:gpl2+’).

Could you send an updated patch?

Thanks!

Ludo’.
