This syntax had been deprecated since 2016-02-28.
* gnu/packages.scm (%find-package): Remove #:fallback? parameter and handling.
* tests/guix-build.sh: Remove test for "time-1.7" syntax.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix lint): Update 'guix lint' output in example.
This is a followup to 8a54c0ec69.
* tests/guix-build.sh: Allow 'guix build -S' to succeed with source-less
packages. Check that the result is the empty string.
This provides a way to mark a package as superseded by another one.
Upgrades replace superseded packages with their replacement.
* guix/packages.scm (package-superseded, deprecated-package): New
procedures.
* gnu/packages.scm (%find-package): Check for 'package-superseded'.
* guix/scripts/package.scm (transaction-upgrade-entry)[supersede]: New
procedure. Call it when 'package-superseded' is true.
* tests/guix-build.sh: Add test for a superseded package.
* tests/packages.scm ("package-superseded")
("transaction-upgrade-entry, superseded package"): New tests.
Fixes a typo introduced in 1b846da8c3 that
would lead to a backtrace when using the deprecated syntax.
* gnu/packages.scm (%find-package): Turn the first argument to
'call-with-values' into a thunk. Use #:select instead of '@' to select
the right 'package-name->name+version' procedure.
Reported by Mark H Weaver.
* guix/scripts/build.scm (options->derivations): When SRC and GRAFT? are
true, use the source of P's replacement.
* tests/guix-build.sh: Add test.
This provides the ability to use numbers in package names.
Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/19219>.
* guix/utils.scm (package-name->name+version): New procedure.
* gnu/packages.scm (%find-package): Add a FALLBACK? keyword argument.
Use the previous method when no package is found.

'gexp?'.

* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix build): Document '-e gexp'.
guxi build: Allow gexps to be passed to '-e'.
* guix/ui.scm (%guix-user-module): New variable.
(read/eval): Pass it as the second argument to 'eval'.
* guix/scripts/build.scm (options/resolve-packages): Add case for
'gexp?'.
* tests/guix-build.sh: Add tests.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix build): Document '-e gexp'.
* guix/monads.scm: Unexport 'lower-inputs' and 'derivation-expression'.
(text-file*): Add comment about the switch to 'gexp->derivation'.
(lower-inputs): Add comment about its doom.
(derivation-expression): Likewise.
* guix/gexp.scm (lower-inputs*): Rename to...
(lower-inputs): ... this. Update callers.
* tests/monads.scm (derivation-expression): New procedure.
* doc/guix.texi (The Store Monad): Use 'gexp->derivation' instead of
'derivation-expression'. Remove documentation of
'derivation-expression'.
* guix/ui.scm (read/eval): Use THE-ROOT-MODULE so that macros are
properly expanded.
* tests/guix-build.sh: Use 'gexp->derivation' instead of
'derivation-expression'.monads: Hide 'derivation-expression' and 'lower-inputs'.
* guix/ui.scm (read/eval): New procedure.
(read/eval-package-expression): Use it.
* guix/scripts/build.scm (derivations-from-package-expressions): Rename to...
(derivation-from-expression): ... this. Accept procedures, under the

(guix-build): Ditto.
* tests/guix-build.sh: Add test.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix build): Augment description of '-e'.

Use it instead of using `find-packages-by-name' directly.
Suggested by Andreas Enge <andreas@enge.fr>.
* tests/guix-build.sh: Add tests.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix-build): Add `coreutils-8.20' as an
example. Fix guile-1.8 example.

error message when SOURCE? is #t and P has no source.
* tests/guix-build.sh: Add test.
