Hello,

I'm a new Guix user and I created a package for Seren, a P2P VoIP
conference program which uses Opus as codec.

I would like to thank the for helping me on IRC.

You made a new "seren.scm" file, but didn't add a standard header (with
copyright, license, etc.) to it.  Also new files should be registered in
"<guix>/gnu/local.mk".

However, there is no need to put this pakcage into a separate module.  I
think (gnu packages telephony) is a suitable module for it.

The commit message should look like this.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
gnu: Add seren.

* gnu/packages/telephony.scm (seren): New variable.

Usually instead of deleting 'check' phase, we disable tests, so it
could look like this:

      (arguments '(#:tests? #f))  ; no "check" target

If you want to make separate paragraphs here, use additional newlines:

    (description
     "Seren is a simple VoIP program based on the Opus codec that allows
you to create a voice conference from the terminal, with up to 10
partecipants, without having to register accounts, exchange emails, or
add people to contact lists.

All you need to join an existing conference is the host name or IP
address of one of the partecipants.

Seren creates a dynamic peer-to-peer network of equivalent nodes which
exchange text and audio data using a UDP connection, and offers the user
the ability to change the quality/bitrate on the fly, encrypt the
traffic and record the calls.")

(Though I think this description is a bit long, but it's probably OK)

> +    (home-page "http://holdenc.altervista.org/seren/")

The rest looks good to me, could you send an updated patch?
And thanks for contributing!

Ping!  Hello again, are you willing to send an updated patch, putting
'seren' in "gnu/packages/telephony.scm" and making other changes
according to
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-05/msg00173.html>?

Sorry for bothering, your patch is mostly OK, but it would be nice if
seren was in (gnu packages telephony) module, thanks!

Sure! I'm really sorry, I had too much to work. I'm going to send an
updated version this evening.

Hi!  If you have some problems, you can ask for help on
<help-guix@gnu.org>.

I think you forgot to Cc guix-devel list, so I do it.

It's not a problem that you didn't test if it can be built, I'll do it,
but... could you send an updated patch?  (See the comments below)

Not a big deal, but the commit message should be:

gnu: Add seren.

* gnu/packages/telephony.scm (seren): New variable.

Putting it into (gnu packages telephony) module means to put it into
"gnu/packages/telephony.scm" file which already exists.  Sorry for not
being clear about it.

I didn't meant this, see above.  In Guile (foo bar baz) module always
means that a module file is "<...>/foo/bar/baz.scm".

No, not arguments inside arguments, this should be simply:

I put it to (gnu packages telephony) module and made the other changes I
mentioned, and committed as 319ac02b5¹.
