What have been done recently for case where the upstream is not
available anymore is: convert to Git and save to Software Heritage.

For instance, see commit 74cb33c22818b25d1b9c6d576352fc8249832d34 and

   <http://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/43426>

especially this snippet:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ (cd /tmp; tar xf $(guix build -S gdsl); guix hash -r /tmp/gdsl-1.8)
0a52g12d9sf9hhcyvwfd7xdazj2a9i9jh97cnlqf2ymvwnvjk1g0
$ guix hash -r $(./pre-inst-env guix build -S gdsl)
0a52g12d9sf9hhcyvwfd7xdazj2a9i9jh97cnlqf2ymvwnvjk1g0
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Obviously, need tweaks for the issue at hand. :-)

All the best,
