Hi,

Great job!

Unfortunately, it’s become commonplace to publish nothing else than a
Git tag.  Now, in those cases, we could also use ‘git-fetch’, which
wouldn’t be affected by problems with generated tarballs.

Thoughts?

The code looks nice!

I’ve checked the hashes by running:

  ./pre-inst-env guix build -S --no-substitutes csound fritzing erlang \
     font-google-material-design-icons ogre java-plexus-interpolation \
     antlr3 yaml-cpp libgit2  --max-jobs=2

and everything went well.
