"Description a sentence" is not a meaningful English sentence.

Excuse my brevity. It should have been "The description of a package
should at least be a meaningful English sentence."

I suggest to use the previous commit, for two reasons :
- it is a tagged commit, so you can set `version' to "1.1" instead of
the ugly (git-version ...) stuff;
- the current commit only adds a donation link to the README.

The synopsis shouldn't start with an article, here "A".

You may want to use guix lint to double-check this.

Actually, the 00152aa deleted the donation link. It didn't add it.
Either way, the commit is about "money", and that's a sensitive thing
so it's better to respect its intention.

I disagree. Guix usually sticks to actual releases, unless there's
a really good reason not to, such as a major bug in the last release. In
this situation, the last commit is not even a feature, so it's better to
just package the 1.1 release.

Note that if the last change was that important for the author, they
would have made a release out of it. I don't think Guix would offense
anyone by providing real 1.1.

Sticking to actual releases makes sense for packages that follow a
"release-has-a-version" policy, which is common for big & popular
ones.

But there's a number [see below] of smaller, less popular elisp
packages with infrequent contributions where the author doesn't really
bother with a strict "tagged-releases" policy. Sometimes it's
forgotten over the years, so "rolling-releases" become the norm.

IMO that's the case for our
done on May 1, 2018. That's over five years ago. Waiting for 1.2
doesn't make sense. It's probably not happening anytime soon, not even
soon-ish, even though the 00152aa seems to be important.

Cheers

The original zap-to-char doesn't provide much. The enhancement - our
zop-to-char doesn't improve the situation either.
The same goes for zap-up-to-char and zop-up-to-char. So asking me to
come up with one is... sigh, anyway here you go.

I did and... hmm looks like it's time to visit the ophthalmologist again.

I reworked the patch and I'm resending it in the attachment.

You are right in that it does make sense to not only consider releases,
but Nicolas has already named a reason to do so among several valid
reasons. "It fixes a donation link in the README" is, in my humble
opinion, not that. Now you might want to question whether packaging a
five to seven year old package itself has any technical merit, but I'm
personally quite relaxed w.r.t. that concern.
