Yep!

Definitely not: it’s essentially a debugging statement, and it’s only
visible in the build log.

+                 ;; See 
<http://icl.cs.utk.edu/lapack-forum/archives/lapack/msg01383.html>.
+                 'configure 'remove-non-free-files

It’s a case where ‘guix build -S’ will return the source including the
non-free files, which is clearly not what we want (though I gather that
the next upstream version of LAPACK will be fixed, right?).

Two things we could do: (1) add a ‘snippet’ field in ‘origin’, which is
where the ‘remove-file’ calls would appear, (2) host a freed version
under alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/mirror.

Hmm I’ll see if (1) can be implemented before 0.5 without triggering a
full rebuild.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
