bug#42162: Recovering source tarballs

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi Timothy,

I hope you’re well.  I was wondering if you’ve had the chance to fiddle
with Disarchive since the summer?

I’m thinking there are small steps we could take to move forward:

  1. Have a Disarchive package in Guix (and one for guile-quickcheck,
     kudos on that one!).

  2. Have a Cuirass job running on ci.guix.gnu.org to build and publish
     the disarchive-db.

  3. Integrate Disarchive in (guix download) to reconstruct tarballs.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’, who’s still very much excited about these perspectives!
