Hi!
I have this external drive formatted in HFS+ (Apple's filesystem).
I'd like to write to it.
It seems that I'd need the hfsprogs package (to be confirmed).
It's under APSL license.
The discussion here:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hfsprogs/
underlines that the original source code is not meant to be compiled on
GNU/Linux (to be confirmed) and that it requires a fork and some
patches.
Thoughts?
If no one sees a problem with it, I'll package it.

The APSL v2 (but not v1, apparently) is a free software license:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#apsl2
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/apsl.html
So, as long as hfsprogs is available under the APSL v2 and it does not
contain any thing that might go against the FSDG (e.g., "A free system
distribution must not steer users towards obtaining any nonfree
information for practical use, or encourage them to do so."), it's
probably OK to include in Guix.
For reference, the FSDG can be found here:
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html
