        that's a tabulation

Reported by `guix lint`:

gnu/packages/build-tools.scm:1027:0: xmake <at> 2.8.6: tabulation on line 1027, column 0

There is a test directory so the tests should not be disabled.

> +    (home-page "https://xmake.io/")

`guix lint` reports that:

gnu/packages/build-tools.scm:1023:5: xmake <at> 2.8.6: permanent redirect
from https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake.git to
https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake

> +    (synopsis "Cross-platform build utility based on Lua")

Please expand a bit on that description. What are the features of xmake
for instance?

> +    (license gpl3+)))

There's an issue preventing this from compiling. You should use
licence:gpl3+. By the way, it seems to be license:asl2.0 rather than
license:gplv3+.

Please make sure that `make` reports no error on your package.

Don't hesitate to ask if some remarks are unclear :)

Thanks,

Mathieu
