Finally! ;)

It's a pretty small change, just adding a leaf package, but I figured
since it's adding a package I maintain the project of, best to get
review.

I don't know if it works in this particular case, but I thought that
normally 'bootstrap' would automatically do that already?

Nesting different forms of quasiquotation seems to be disliked (at
least according to a mini poll I did on #guix some time ago),
apparently

(arguments
  (list #:phases
        #~(modify-phases ...)
        #:make-flags
        #~(list ...)))

seems to be the way to go?

Can be simplified to (inputs (list guile-3.0))?

Maybe mention that it can network with non-Guile goblin peers as well
(e.g. Racket?), assuming that's correct?

Ah yeah, seems to work without it...!

Cool, done.  For (inputs ...) anyway... the above native-inputs did
still seem needed, presumably because we *are* running the bootstrap
code in this case.

It's true, but more accurately, it will be true in the next version,
since guile-goblins v0.8 doesn't have finished networking support.
But yes, that's coming, so I put this comment above the description:

    ;; In guile-goblins 0.9, OCapN support will be added (it already
    ;; exists in racket-goblins).  At that point we should add the
    ;; following to this description:
    ;;
    ;;   Goblins allows for cooperation between networked programs
    ;;   in a mutually suspicious network through OCapN, the Object
    ;;   Capability Network.  This includes collaboration across
    ;;   runtimes; for instance, programs written in the Guile and Racket
    ;;   versions of Goblins are able to speak to each other.

And we can do that then.  As said in the other email, I don't think this
is far away.

Thanks to both Maxime and Ludo' for reviewing!  I pushed it upstream.
Happy hacking with guile-goblins... if someone does anything with it,
let me know.  The next release will be the first big guile-goblins
release to celebrate, but was eager to get what we have up there. :)

I'm not seeing "--target" in  the invocation of "$(GUILE_TOOLS)
compile", so I don't think that currently it will cross-compile
correctly.  Could you add a --target=... in the Makefile.am?

Greetings,
Maxime.

That can come upstream in the next version of Goblins IMO.

Cool, I added it to commit 6664daa27e9b3eb3220ba83d9c874b730e792f90 in
guile-goblins.  However I was just mimicing guile-gcrypt, so I'm not
sure if it's right:

#+BEGIN_SRC diff
diff --git a/Makefile.am b/Makefile.am
index b8d4944..b056337 100644
--- a/Makefile.am
+++ b/Makefile.am
@@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ EXTRA_DIST = $(SOURCES) $(NOCOMP_SOURCES)

 SOURCES = goblins.scm \
           goblins/ocapn/crypto-stubs.scm \
#+END_SRC

Should that be sufficient?

Notably, the Makefile.am here was bootstrapped using guile-hall, so my
suspicion is that this is an update that should be made in guile-hall's
templates also, then everyone can benefit.

The next release of Goblins should be due out very quickly, I think, so
we'll be able to take advantage of it then.

I think so (untested)?

Agreed.

Yes, that LGTM, provided GUILE_TARGET is properly computed, like in
Guile-Gcrypt’s ‘configure.ac’.

Thanks,

Woohoo, awesome!

I agree with the minor issues Maxime noted, but otherwise looks great
to me!  Go Spritely, go!!
