Re: [PATCH] gnu: libarchive: fix issue 696 in v.3.2.1

[Carlos Sánchez de La Lama]

Hi Leo,

just found this pending issue. My patch was merged into libarchive trunk
on 11th December, too late to make it into libarchive-3.2.2. It will be
public when 3.3.x series comes out (any time soon), so I guess it does
not make sense to fix on GUIX side anymore (would be better to update
librachive version).
