[bug#54974] [PATCH] added btop

[Greg Hogan]

Hi Wil,

I had recently looked at adding this package so I happen to have a few comments.

v1.2.6 was released last week.

Is it preferable to "(delete 'check)" the test phase or specify the "#:tests? #f" argument?

Instead of the "replace 'install" lambda, I had done:

  #:make-flags (list (string-append "PREFIX=" (assoc-ref %outputs "out")))

which is both shorter and to my understanding more generic (more adaptable to future additional binaries or libraries, though this package will likely only ever have a single binary).
