Hello Guix!
You may remember the ‘archival’ checker for ‘guix lint’:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/37224
As noted in that issue, its main limitation is that it cannot perform
“save” requests for source tarballs. Thus, tarballs that aren’t already
on SWH don’t get archived.
The issue mentions writing a “lister” for the SWH code base (in
Python). Good news! lewo of NixOS has started writing such a thing:
https://forge.softwareheritage.org/D2025
It should be able to ingest data in a format similar to what we provide
at <https://guix.gnu.org/packages.json>.
It’s not done yet, so you’re welcome to give a hand on the Python side
or to adjust the format of ‘packages.json’, and to chime in in the issue
above!
Ludo’.
