Hello,

Thank you for your patch.  This looks like an interesting tool!  I
test-compiled this, and I have a couple comments.

"We" don't used signed-off-by like this (signed-off-by is used by the
committer who is pushing your patch); you can leave it out.

2.0.4 is available; is there a particular reason for using 2.0.3?

Is there a reason why this is propagated?  It seems like babeltrace uses
it for the libraries and headers only, so it should probably be in 'inputs'.

  guix gc --references /gnu/store/mm02i199mwwqgazk6fphz6rka8ga4fh6-babeltrace-2.0.3

says that babeltrace retains a reference to glib, so it should probably
be a regular input as well.

$ ./pre-inst-env guix lint babeltrace
/home/sarah/guix-apply/gnu/packages/linux.scm:8170:17: babeltrace <at> 2.0.3: sentences in description should be followed by two spaces; possible infraction at 174
/home/sarah/guix-apply/gnu/packages/linux.scm:8169:14: babeltrace <at> 2.0.3: no period allowed at the end of the synopsis
/home/sarah/guix-apply/gnu/packages/linux.scm:8169:14: babeltrace <at> 2.0.3: synopsis should not start with the package name
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Synopses should reduce to a noun; open-source is implied by its
inclusion in Guix; the pronunciation is more suited to the description,
but may not be necessary at all.

Consider: "Trace manipulation toolkit" or "Trace manipulation toolkit
with Python bindings" (depending on what the focus should be on)

In the description, it may be worth mentioning that it provides the
command-line tool "@command{babeltrace2}"; consider referencing the
manual page for wording.

You could even start with something like:

"Babeltrace 2 is a framework for viewing, converting, transforming, and
analyzing traces.  It is also the reference parser implementation of the
Common Trace Format (CTF), produced by tools such as LTTng and barectf.
This package provides a library with a C API, Python 3 bindings, and the
command-line tool @command{babeltrace2}."

That's just an example though!  It could definitly be improved.

Hope that helps,

Hi!

Sorry for the late reply, I've never received the ML messages!  I had to
check the web interface to see your comments.

I will apply them soon and CC you on v2 of this patch :-)

Regards,
Olivier

Thanks for this, and to Sarah for the nice review!

I've pushed this as-is to master as

Happy hacking!
