I have a working package (last tested a while ago, some third party hashes would need updaring, and there may be new build failures, but i played it in the past) in my repository at https://gitlab.com/pkill-9/guix-packages-free/tree/master/pkill9/packages/openra, however the third party .Net libraries aren't built from source because I couldn't get mono to build them from source. I believe Mono is too old on Guix to build them.
Another issue to note is that i had to wrap xdg data dirs to point to generated mono certificates.
Another issue is that maxmind geoip database is used during build, but the url constantly updates and they dont provide previous versions. best solution would be patch openra upstream to provide option not to use geoip database, or to grab it at runtime.
I don't believe there are any licensing issues with using maxmind's geoip database in guix, can't remember though.
