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 i= n the past) in my repository at https://gitlab.com/pkill-9/guix-packages-fr= ee/tree/master/pkill9/packages/openra, however the third party .Net librari= es 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 gener= ated 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 soluti= on would be patch openra upstream to provide option not to use geoip databa= se, or to grab it at runtime. I don't believe there are any licensing issues with using maxmind's geoip d= atabase in guix, can't remember though.
