Patch is attached for new package `hackrf'. Installing this package
installs the userspace hackrf utilities and C library. To install the
hackrf udev rules, you must add this package as a system service via
modify-services. E.g.:
'''
(services
(modify-services
(append
#| your other services |#
(udev-service-type config =>
(udev-configuration (inherit config)
(rules (cons hackrf
(udev-configuration-rules config)))))))
'''
And also you need to add your local user to the `dialout' group. I did
a simple test with my HackRF One and hackrf_info was able to detect the
board, indicating that package works on x86_64.

Hi,
thanks for the patch!
Please, if possible, ask upstream to provide a release.
It's not a good idea to use a random git commit in an official GNU distribution--
much better to just have them release a version.

Please document that in the description so it's not lost (description
can do texinfo markup).

HackRF team says they are preparing a new release, but it may be a few
weeks yet.

I have asked many times about the new release over the last few months,
and each time hackrf team says it is a week or so away. But their last
git commit was in February. Requesting to please proceed with the
latest commit as represented in this patch. I have added information to
the description as requested.
Using the old 2018 release would be unsatisfactory due to an annoying
bug related to maintaining connections to hackrf devices.
As an additional motivation for adding this, I believe you need
libhackrf installed to use hackrf with gnuradio, through the osmocom
interface. (I'm not at the moment quite clear on what exactly you have
to enable in the gnuradio package definitions to link those together.)
E.g., https://packages.debian.org/stretch/gr-osmosdr

I noticed that the package definition builds 'lib/libhackrf.a';
installing static libraries is usually disabled for Guix packages.
Also, some of the lines of the package definition are indented with tabs
instead of spaces, and the commit message is missing the
" * gnu/packages/radio.scm (hackrf): New variable." line.

In theory, adding the hackrf package as input of the gnuradio-osmosdr
package should be enough (the library should be auto-detected when
compiling and the support activated).
However, I don't have the hardware to test if it really works.

Can those minor tweaks be added by whomever is applying the patch, or
do I need to submit a new patch?
