Hi,

Adding files to another package is not possible.
Packages usually have a search path environment variable for plugins. I
don’t see one for cyrus-sasl (I just grepped for “getenv” so I might
have overlooked it). The “Guix way” would be to have cyrus-sasl honor,
say, $CYRUS_SASL_PLUGIN_PATH and look for plugins in those directories,
add a search path to the package¹, and have the plugin installed in
$prefix/lib/sasl2 like you did.
Could you check whether cyrus-sasl already has such a mechanism, or add
one (possibly discussing with upstream), and send updated patches?
Nitpick:
> + (description "XOAUTH2 mechanism plugin for cyrus-sasl.")
Also, please improve the description².
Thanks in advance,
Ludo’.
