Subject: refresh can't update profanity
Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2023 00:26:19 -0400 (EDT)

I'm using ./pre-inst-env guix from commit 
19a7a824c35eae56ce56e2a460042fb7e2129234. `guix refresh -u profanity` 
doesn't seem to be able to find the new tarball for download. However, if 
I do the update by hand, `guix build` knows how to download the tarball. 
The profanity source record looks like this:

"""
 (source
     (origin
       (method url-fetch)
       (uri
        (string-append 
"https://profanity-im.github.io/tarballs/profanity-"
                       version ".tar.gz"))
       (sha256
        (base32
         "14n45zwc6fxjargqhwqan8fyb7x0ql0hmw56rbjkjfkhpba2qmks"))))
""""

Here's refresh getting confused:

"""

Best,
Jack

Hm, it seems it was a bug when using the
release-monitoring-url property and the code in import-html-release from
(guix gnu-maintenance.)

I've tested with my series at https://issues.guix.gnu.org/65230 and I'm
happy to report it resolves the issue:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix refresh -u profanity

/home/maxim/src/guix/gnu/packages/messaging.scm:2132:13: profanity: updating from version 0.13.0 to version 0.14.0...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It could do with a review :-).

I've now installed this series with commit

Closing!
