Cool!

Just a remark about [PATCH v2 3/3] gnu: Add scilab.

+    (source
+     (origin
+       (method url-fetch)
+       (uri

+                       version "/scilab-" version "-src.tar.gz"))

Is the URL stable?  It looks like the Cloud solution of Dassault
Systèmes, right?  Dassault Systèmes being the maintainer, right?

Well, the main development repository seems gitlab.com, right?

    https://gitlab.com/scilab/scilab

Why not rely on this gitlab.com URL?  Tarball if the Git history of the
repository is too heavy.  For example,

    https://gitlab.com/scilab/scilab/-/archive/5.5.0/scilab-5.5.0.tar.gz

Although some files are only in the outscale link,
