The attached patch publicly defines freedink-engine and freedink-data.
This resolves many of the issues described in #43061. This patch,
combined with patch #43193(sent earlier today), can close #43061.

Now I’m confused: how does it help to make freedink-{engine,data}
public?

Is it intended? Looks like inheriting avoids duplicating fields, no?
Thanks,

Other than making guix more consistent in publicly defining game data
packages (0ad-data and megaglest-data are public, and I like that -- I
could write a good article about why, which I think would be a worthy
entry in the guix blog, especially after #43193 is applied), there are 4
reasons for this change:
-> freedink-dfarc has problems locating the editor, installed in
freedink-engine. I guess we could also fix this by making
freedink-engine an input to freedink-dfarc and splicing a reference to
it into the default configuration?
-> Unless freedink-data is public, `guix build --source freedink-data`
fails, and `guix build --sources=all freedink` does not build a source
for freedink-data. I think future users who want to alter the freedink
data would appreciate the ability to use guix to get the data. Also,
it's pointless to use the editor on the installed freedink-data because
it's read-only when it's installed.
-> Back when I was fixing freedink, I found it difficult to debug
without freedink-engine being public, because freedink does nothing with
the freedink-engine source.
-> Freedink-engine installs desktop files to launch freedink without
freedink-dfarc or the console. This is actually a new issue I will
address in an updated patch: the desktop files fail because the data
location is not hard-coded. I think the freedink desktop file can be
patched if freedink-data is an input, but, like I said above, it's
pointless to use dinkedit on a read-only directory, so I intend to
remove it.

Oops! I did not intend to leave (inherit freedink-engine) in a comment.
I initially commented it out because freedink does nothing with the
source anyway, and I wanted to see what would happen if I removed the
inheritance. I guess I forgot to remove the semicolon and other additions.
As noted above, it is easiest to use freedink-dfarc to launch the
editor, but freedink-dfarc must be told what editor to use, and it is
easier to identify it if the editor is installed in a profile (or
included as an input). Also, freedink-engine includes (broken) desktop
files. Since freedink just installs a wrapper script around the engine,
and does not include the editor or any desktop files, perhaps it would
be better to put the wrapper script in freedink-engine (thus fixing the
desktop file), completely remove the freedink package, and rename
"freedink-engine" to just "freedink"? But freedink-dfarc would still
need to be able to launch freedink without pointing to any read-only
data if a user wants to test the edited freedink data.

OK, makes sense—thanks for explaining.

OK. If you send an updated patch, I’ll happily apply it, then!

Maybe, sounds like a reasonable option.

The patch does not do this. For now, I don't have the time (and probably
won't have much time until late December), so I'll leave it as a to-do
item for anyone who wants to accomplish this.
