Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] Fix annoyances of Git and update to 2.46.0
Date: Thu,  5 Sep 2024 17:34:47 +0200

Hi,

Since changes to the package Git imply large rebuilds, this series integrates
submission #72413.

Change since v2: Restore the ’origin’ of git-manpages under native-inputs.

Commit f288604428e9c8f096ec9e0eccf207e079806271 moved the origin inside the phase.

+                (mkdir-p man)
+                (with-directory-excursion man

+                   "tar" "xvf"
+                   #$(origin
+                       (method url-fetch)
+                       (uri (string-append
+                             "mirror://kernel.org/software/scm/git/"
+                             "git-manpages-" version ".tar.xz"))
+                       (sha256
+                        (base32
+                         "0xsqakgy0s60zpa13ilj6zj420kdh8pf4v3nrp1nziwj8ja4qymw"))))))))

And this appears to me a bad idea, because 1. it makes harder to know what are
the inputs and more importantly 2. it is hidden from procedure
’package-direct-sources’, which means it will not be archived.

Cheers,
simon
