Hi,

PIERRE AUGIER <pierre.augier <at> univ-grenoble-alpes.fr> skribis:

> I studied `guix download -h` which shows that `guix download` only supports Git repositories. Since there is `hg-download`, it would make sense that the command `guix download` support Mercurial.

Indeed, only Git is supported at this point.  Supporting Mercurial and
other VCSes would be nice though there’s no plan to do so at this point
(Git support was a low-hanging fruit since Git is already tightly
integrated).

Thanks,
Ludo’.
