I tried to reproduce this locally, but I couldn't build it due to
missing dependencies.  Can you attach a patch that applies cleanly to
master, or a file that contains package definitions for all of the
dependencies that are not yet packaged, or more detailed instructions?

I haven't used any of the importers yet, so I'm not sure how to use it.
Are you supposed to invoke "guix import gem foo" from a Guix checkout?

Thank you,
