bug#25020: guix refresh does not discover updates if URLs are "non-standard"

[Hartmut Goebel]

Hi,

I just updated kde-frameworks to 5.28 and found that not all updates
have been discovered.

Those where the URL is following the standard schema where found:
"mirror://kde/stable/frameworks/" (version-major+minor version) "/" name
"-" version ".tar.xz"))

Those having a different name of the archive or having an additional
directory behind the first version-part have not been found.

Update found for:

    (name "extra-cmake-modules")
    (version "5.27.0")
    (source (origin
              (method url-fetch)
              (uri (string-append
                    "mirror://kde/stable/frameworks/"
                    (version-major+minor version) "/"
                    name "-" version ".tar.xz"))

Update not found for (archive-name has "5" appended):

    (name "oxygen-icons")
    (version "5.27.0")
    (source (origin
              (method url-fetch)
              (uri (string-append
                    "mirror://kde/stable/frameworks/"
                    (version-major+minor version) "/"
                    name "5" "-" version ".tar.xz"))

Update not found for (additional directory level):

    (name "kross")
    (version "5.27.0")
    (source
     (origin
       (method url-fetch)
       (uri (string-append
             "mirror://kde/stable/frameworks/"
             (version-major+minor version) "/portingAids/"
             name "-" version ".tar.xz"))
