Kitty terminal new package, symlink problem

Kitty terminal new package, symlink problem

Hi Edison Ibáñez if you see this,
I am unsure if my reply on debuggs was sent, i am yet to get a email 
address that supports git send-email,
It seems that go embed does not support symlinks and in the kitty build 
dir, "/src/github.com/alecthomas/chroma/v2/**" the embed-ed files are 
symlinks to the chroma store directory.

https://pkg.go.dev/embed
"Patterns must not match files outside the package's module, such as 
‘.git/*’ or symbolic links. Patterns must not match files whose names 
include the special punctuation characters " * < > ? ` ' | / \ and :. 
Matches for empty directories are ignored. After that, each pattern in a 
//go:embed line must match at least one file or non-empty directory. "

I was just looking at what is the process which creates the link, it is 
possibly line 232 ( in my checkout) of guix/build/go-build-system
```
   (let ((dest (string-append (getenv "GOPATH") "/src/" unpack-path)))
     (mkdir-p dest)
     (if (file-is-directory? source)
         (copy-recursively source dest #:keep-mtime? #t)
         (unpack-maybe-strip source dest)))

```
there is not a symlink function call, i think build systems are 
inherited so maybe it is in a containing build system.

Im going out now but this seems to be the cause of the failure.

Also if anyone sees this and has an invite to riseup email service ( 
should the service be capable of handling another stranger) then please 
may i have a invite?, google sux
Thanks!

I know that this is not the main point of your email (hence changing the
subject), but I would like to chime in on how I get my gmail to work git
send-email. The easiest way is to just have it use another program. In
my case I use msmtp.

In your ~/.gitconfig:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[sendemail]
	smtpserver = /usr/bin/msmtp
	smtpserveroption = -a
	smtpserveroption = gmail
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

For ~/.msmtp
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
defaults
auth           on
tls            on
tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
logfile        ~/.msmtp.log

# Gmail
account        gmail
host           smtp.gmail.com
port           465
tls_starttls   off
from           username@gmail.com
user           username@gmail.com
passwordeval    "pass username@gmail.com"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The actual password that you put in your password manager in this case
would be an app password [0].

This setup works for me for a bunch of different email accounts across
gmail/live/ymail

Along those lines, when this email address used to be hosted on Gmail 
infrastructure, I used sendgmail, which is specifically designed for git 
send-email and implemented using the Gmail API.

I packaged it for Guix at the time: 
https://packages.guix.gnu.org/packages/sendgmail/

There are instructions for obtaining the necessary API key at 
<https://github.com/google/gmail-oauth2-tools/tree/master/go/sendgmail>, 
and I saw just now that there were some commits several years of 
inactivity! (During that time, I changed hosting for this email address, 
so I haven't used sendgmail lately.) One commit obsoletes our 
"sendgmail-remove-domain-restriction.patch", and it looks like others 
may be necessary to satisfy new authentication requirements imposed by 
Google.

Hello thank you for the response
A issue for me was the need for 2fa, but thankfully the sendgmail approach seems to work without that by using a gmail dev api setup.
All the best

Thank you this works nicely and seems to bypass the need for 2fa

msmtp can be configured to use 2fa using the tool mailctl.

Mailctl is not currently packaged in guix, but see
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/65976 for a half-year-old that adds it.

on that topic: does anyone feel like reviewing these patches?

nice to hear that things are working!

Kind regards,
