I only rarely submit patches that don't at least build for myself.
Pushed and done.

Yeah, I doubt that they'll reuse it this late in the game, but you're
right that we're basically walking on dreams rn.

Hi,
I am proposing to remove the package python-pyxel. The rationale is:
+ Broken [1] since months
+ Update needs “some” work
+ Two years without an update
+ An issue about upstream source
Therefore, if someone is interested, please update it. Else I will
remove it.
Some more explanations for the interested reader about unavailable
source. :-)
If I read correctly, ‘python-pixel’ had been added and never modified
since then.

Two years later, an user gets the source of “python-pyxel” because the
Guix project still stores it. But we cannot predict when the store of
the build farms will be garbage collected and this checkout substitute
will disappear making this package broken for many Guix revisions.

$ guix build python-pyxel -S --no-substitutes
The following derivations will be built:

Now, one can think it is a classic hash mismatch. Arf, foolish no!
Upstream is managing using the worse workflow I have seen.
Here is the history of tag v1.4.3 replacement:

v1.4.3 7d27898e218d6b4cb62779dc22b409d02860f155 27 December 2021
v1.4.3 be75b724cae9e10e56a82a5421f9dd65390f1a06 22 September 2022
v1.4.3 be75b724cae9e10e56a82a5421f9dd65390f1a06 today
And surprise surprise:

Because of this, there is a mismatch. However, good news:

The ’snippet’ is now unnecessary. The build fails though.
