Hi Guix,

attached are two patches: one for freepats and another for the MIDI
player TiMidity++.  TiMidity++ comes with a simple configuration file
referencing the freepats configuration, so it's usable out of the box.

I think this is a bit too much, as it also copies COPYING and README.
I would suggest to only copy the patch folders Drum_000 and Tone_000 and
freepats.cfg.

Hi again,

thanks a lot for the two packages, they work for me. Nevertheless two
comments.

Back to names... I would call this "timidity". The package guidelines only
state that underscores are replaced by "-", but the general idea would be
to replace special characters with dashes, and to rather drop them at the end
(or beginning) of a package name.

It is a bit strange to have config files in /share and not in /etc, but that
is indeed where by default timidity looks for its config file. Nevertheless,
I would use
  (string-append (assoc-ref %outputs "out") "/etc/timidity")
and then add the configure flag
  (string-append "--with-default-path=" (assoc-ref %outputs "out") "/etc/timidity")

Is copying the license and the readme file a problem?  In my teensy
store I count 382 readme files alone.  It doesn't seem unusual to
include the readme.

The homepage of TiMidity++ says

    TiMidity++ is based on TiMidity 0.2i, written by Tuukka Toivonen
    <tt@cgs.fi>*1, released on 1995. No new version of this original
    project is developed since then. Development has been continued by
    Masanao Izumo et al. in the new project named TiMidity++. ++ is to
    show the difference from original project.

I'd rather not change the name.  For reference, Fedora calls the package
"timidity++" as well.

I don't mind either way, but I do agree that coercing TiMidity++ to look
in a more traditional location for the configuration file sounds like a
good idea.

I think it is not good style. And it can create collisions if several packages
are installed. If someone installs the package, he will end up with
share/README and share/COPYING in his profile.

I see.  Wouldn't it be better to place the README in
share/doc/{timidity,freepats}/README rather than removing it?

I think it is unusual, but could be done for freepats, which has no other
documentation (apart from "guix -s freepats", that is, so one can find the
information inside the system). Timidity installs its man pages, so nothing
needs to be done there.

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 593 bytes --]


Attached are two new patches for Freepats and TiMidity++.

The contents of the Freepats tarball are now unpacked to
$out/share/freepats/, so there should be no conflicts anymore.

In TiMidity++ I removed the Tcl/Tk interface and added the ncurses
interface instead (the Tcl interface didn't actually work but the
ncurses interface does).  I also enabled the server mode to be built.
The default path to the configuration file is now set to
$out/etc/timidity/timidity.cfg.

If you insist I can rename both package and variable from "timidity++"
to "timidity".

What do you think?

~~ Ricardo
