Hi Hartmut,

A second dependancy is "sequoia-openpgp", which requires rhe lalrpop
parser generator for building.

Now when building `sequioa-sqv`, I need to add all these dependencies again:=


- nettle-src, since it is "optional" for nettle-sys - and the phase was
not executed.
- bindgen, since it is required to build nettle-sys
- lalrpop, since it is required for building sequoia-openpgp

That is a lot of work! I know because I did all of those for pijul in this c=
hannel github.com/jsoo1/guix-channel.  Want to compare notes? What are you w=
orking on?=20

Also I found the recursive crate importer very helpful, even if it was imper=
fect. Are you using the importer or doing the work by hand?

And as Efraim mentioned, optional dependencies in the cargo sense are not op=
tional for guix definitions.

Good luck,

John
