As with Guix still being very much a growing project, we all know the excitement and struggle that comes with the repository lacking some essential packages we are accustomed in a transition. My peers and I use the Matrix protocol for most of our communication as a secondary option to IRC and Email. I have been contemplating which Matrix client would be easiest to package for Guix and have decided on Nheko, which is free software. This client has most of the necessary components already packaged on Guix with the exception of a few. Thankfully, those missing packages are also free software. So, in total, I would be looking at packaging three or four components. I am wondering if there are any other Matrix users who have any objections or agreement to this possibility. Anyways, carry on. https://github.com/mujx/nheko -- Brett M. Gilio Free Software Foundation, Member https://gnu.org/s/guix/ | https://emacs.org
