This is a "meta" bug to keep track of the progress of packaging GNU MediaGoblin, a platform for publishing images/audio/video etc. See https://mediagoblin.org/ We have a guix-env.scm in the upstream source which should always have the latest copy of our packaging progress and instructions to run it: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/mediagoblin.git/tree/guix-env.scm Current plan is: 1. Add OGG support to libsndfile which is needed to package python-soundfile [patch 47210] 2. Package python-soundfile (see above). After this the test suite should pass 100% with pytest installed from PyPI [patch 47181] 3. Work out why python-pytest-6/python-pytest-xdist/python-pytest-forked in Guix seem to be incompatible. After this our test suite should run 100% with only dependencies from Guix! 4. Package MediaGoblin itself. The build process is ./configure/make which is a bit weird for a Python project. 5. Get a basic Guix service working, with sqlite3 and without the offloaded media transcoding currently using Celery/RabbitMQ. 6. Rewrite MediaGoblin's JavaScript code not to use jQuery. Maybe improve the no-bundled-JavaScript video/audio playing experience. 7. Work out why H264 support is missing. 8. Either package RabbitMQ (probably hard) or rewrite MediaGoblin's processing backend from Celery/RabbitMQ to RQ/Redis. Celery has been implicated in many bugs anyway, so there may benefits to the project to doing this anyway. 9. Figure out how to deal with translations. 10. Add a PostgreSQL database to the Guix service instead of sqlite3. 11. We win. Maybe :)
