[bug#63545] [PATCH 1/3] gnu: heimdal: Build from Git.

[Josselin Poiret]

Hi Felix,

I am no user of Heimdal, but this looks good to me apart from some
nitpicks below.

No need to use commit+revision for fixed releases, unless upstream has
the bad habit of moving their upstream tags. I see the tag
heimdal-7.8.0, which you should use in (commit ...), possibly with
(commit (string-append "heimdall-" version)).

This would lead to a very ugly version string for what is actually
7.8.0, no need to change this.

The other patches seem fine, although I think you don't need to go as
far as make the indentation change its own patch (and by dropping the
commit+revision thing, there shouldn't be one).

I haven't tried building this yet though, will let QA go over it.

Best,
