Working on core-updates, I noticed this in the list of substitutes to be
downloaded:

We should track these down and give them some real file names
eventually.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I noticed I made the same mistake with one of my packages.
Guix lint tells when such a thing occur.

Maybe we could use guix to check for these, and some
other things could also be spotted.
WDYT?

Many of them are probably parts of texlive.

Agreed, I think.

I don't see how defaulting to ‘...${VCS_TYPE}-checkout’ ever makes sense
or saves effort.

We should be able to improve the quality of these guesses: the
repository URI is about as likely to be foo://bar/<package>... as a
regular tarball URI.

Or we make a file-name mandatory for certain methods.

*goes to look at the actual code*,

I agree that some heuristics to figure out the file-name from (svn-reference-url ref) would be nice.

It's not that important that the store filenames are meaningful to humans, it's just nice-to-have.  So I'd say heuristic it and be done with it.

On second thought, maybe even default file-name to the Guix package name (if possible at this point in Guix).  The hash value will make it unique regardless (for example if there are multiple svn-download blocks in the same package)

Ok, I started a guix lint on 0.14.0.1183-1b321.
Will attach log here asap.

Here is the lint log, it did not run to completion, it has an error at the
end.

I started ‘guix lint’ after my first message too; with some luck it will
(eventually...) complete.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Efraim made several commits in March 2018 that gave descriptive
file names to the SVN checkouts of packages in (gnu packages tex).

I haven't noticed any more mystery svn-checkouts since then, so I'm
closing this bug.
