Hi Corentin,
I applied your patch with the minor changes below and with a commit log
closer to our conventions (see
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html>.)
Thank you!
Ludo’.
PS: I cannot push it right now because git.sv.gnu.org is currently
unavailable.
PPS: The email address that you used, <address@hidden>, is invalid; I
hope you’ll get this message somehow. :-)
