Should we add more inputs? Then this: starting phase `check' t/01_load.t .......... ok t/zy_pod_coverage.t .. skipped: Test::Pod::Coverage 1.00 required for testing POD coverage t/zz_pod.t ........... skipped: Test::Pod 1.00 required for testing POD Similarly, add (native-)inputs? Concerning these, I ran this command: $ guix gc --references /gnu/store/r8lbv88cg2nqkk0a2hjcvrs0z3ljqrcy-perl-alien-wxwidgets-0.69 /gnu/store/a41jn9pcrgpkgba6vpd3m56r0fsczsv2-wxwidgets-gtk2-3.0.5.1 /gnu/store/r8lbv88cg2nqkk0a2hjcvrs0z3ljqrcy-perl-alien-wxwidgets-0.69 So wxwidgets-gtk2 should be a normal, non-native input. Why -gtk2? Does this warrant a comment? Concerning normal vs. propagated inputs, I must confess my ignorance of perl; do all perl packages need to be propagated? I would suggest insignificantly beefed up descriptive fields: (synopsis "Module for building, finding and using wxWidgets binaries") (description "Alien::wxWidgets can be used to detect and get configuration settings from an installed wxWidgets package.")
