Well, I have not yet did my homework on the topic, neither asked on
#swh-devel.
Probably not!
In any case, we should find a way because there are a lot of Subversion
sources.

Since “guix lint -c archival” I should have forgotten to submit the
request via their Web interface. Now, it is scheduled:

I agree.
Well, the shutdown of the INRIA’s GForge is a concrete deadline to add
the support of Subversion (and Mercurial) sources to:
- fallback to SWH
- guix lint -c archival
I am working on it. :-)
All the best,
