Hi,
I did a "guix pull" today and found out that I couldn't build my profile
because the source for LibreOffice 5.4.7.1 is missing. It seems to have
been removed from the various mirrors. I've fixed the LibreOffice
problem by bumping the libreoffice package to 5.4.7.2 in commit
7376ba4cd4d07b5640ab49acad371a8ef3f090bc. Before doing this, I verified
that (1) it builds and (2) the LibreOffice programs still work when
installed.
The LibreOffice version scheme is described here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#Version_scheme
It looks like version 5.4.7.2 is supposed to be the 2nd release
candidate of the 7th bugfix release in the 5.4 series. This appears to
be the ChangeLog going from 5.4.7.1 to 5.4.7.2:

These changes seem minor, as expected.
Is there any reason we shouldn't just use the latest LibreOffice
release, which appears to be 6.1.0.0?
FYI, when I asked on the LibreOffice IRC channel, they told me that old
releases can be found here:
http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/5.4.7.1/src/libreoffice-5.4.7.1.tar.xz
Maybe we should add the "old" archives (and mirrors thereof, if any
exist) to the list of mirrors, so that when they remove a published
release, we have a chance of automatically fetching it from the "old"
archives. What do you think?
