Dear list,
In my list of packages, I find older versions of Boost. Specifically,
version 1.57.0 and version 1.56.0. In Guix we've got version 1.60.0.
I would like to add the older versions as packages as well, and my
current approach is to inherit most of the 1.60.0 package:
(define boost-1.57.0
(package (inherit boost)
(name "boost")
(version "1.57.0")
(source (origin
(method url-fetch)
(uri (string-append
"mirror://sourceforge/boost/boost_"
(string-map (lambda (x) (if (eq? x #\.) #\_ x)) version)
".tar.bz2"))
(sha256
(base32
"0rs94vdmg34bwwj23fllva6mhrml2i7mvmlb11zyrk1k5818q34i"))))))
Is this a workable approach? If not, how could I go about adding
multiple versions?
My other questions:
- What is the convention with the Scheme variable name for the package?
- Should I distinguish the package name in its version?
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards,
Roel Janssen
