> Hello Guix!
>
> This patch series adds the Software Heritage (SWH) client library initially
> discussed at:
>
>   https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-11/msg00285.html
>
> Furthermore, it uses it in (guix git-download) to download code from SWH
> when it is unavailable upstream and on our servers.  This bit relies on
> the “vault” API of SWH, which allows you to fetch a checkout as a tarball.
> Not all revisions are readily available as tarballs, understandably, so
> the vault API has a mechanism that allows you to request the “cooking”
> of a specific checkout.  Cooking is asynchronous and can take some time.
>
>   https://docs.softwareheritage.org/devel/swh-vault/api.html
>
> When downloading over SWH, the ‘swh-download’ procedure first resolves
> the tag (if it’s a tag), then tries to download the corresponding tarball
> from the vault.  If the vault doesn’t have it yet, it sends a cooking
> request and waits for it to complete by periodically checking the cooking
> status.
>
> In the future, we should provide a “lister” and “loader” so that SWH can
> regularly obtain a list of Guix packages with their source URL and
> commit/tag:
>
>   https://forge.softwareheritage.org/T1352
>
> The SWH team is also considering pre-cooking all VCS tags such that
> every time we refer to a tag, we can be sure its contents are already
> available in the vault:
>
>   https://forge.softwareheritage.org/T1350

> Feedback welcome!
