Omar, thank you for sending a revised patch.  I have a few comments
relating to style and one unanswered question from our last exchange.

> Subject: [bug#72925] [PATCH v3] adding jpm package

In v4, could you please update the commit message to conform to the
ChangeLog format as noted in
<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html>.
Please see
<https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Change-Logs.html#Change-Logs>
for additional details.  If you're using magit,
`magit-generate-changelog' can help with this.

In your case the commit will probably look something like:
#+begin_quote
  gnu: Add jpm.

  * gnu/packages/lisp.scm (jpm): New variable.
#+end_quote

There are no build errors with this, however, it's not clear how to
verify that the runtime behaviour of jpm is as expected.  After
installing janet and jpm in a guix profile, running a command such as:

#+begin_src sh
  jpm install sh
#+end_src

Results in the following:

#+begin_example
  $> jpm install sh
  error: Read-only file system: /gnu/store/ffmis4y6rld42biqx5lq4nvsjp0bqiq6-jpm-1.1.0/lib/janet/.cache

#+end_example

Could you please share an example code snippet which can be used to
verify correctness of the installation?

Additionally, it seems that the jpm repository comes with a test
(./test/installtest.janet and ./testinstall).  However, it doesn't seem
like we're running it during the build.  Could you please share the
reasons why?  If possible, we should enable and run these tests.

V3 doesn't cleanly apply due to whitespace issues on this (^) line.
Please fix.

On a related note, in case you're not aware, please observe all the
steps listed in
<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html>.
Steps 3 and 4 recommend invoking guix lint and guix style which, unless
I'm mistaken, would've caught this issue.
