I read a little about these Google GWT (http://www.gwtproject.org/gettingstarted.html) and Google GIN (https://gwtplus.github.io/google-gin/site/index.html) packages. Both pieces of software are licensed asl2.0. From what I could tell reading the documentation for GWT, it doesn't appear to need to be built. Atleast with my monkey patching I noticed it complaining that: Buildfile: build.xml does not exist! The same thing happens with GIN, but I have never used either of these tools so I'm in the dark with respect to their typical behavior. I tried to build both of these packages, but I don't really know what I'm doing. I put the package definitions I wrote in a snippet on the Debian pastebin here: https://paste.debian.net/1128951 Maybe it may at least save someone a minute or two? > I won=E2=80=99t be able to work on this soon (probably not before March),= but I > can lend a hand to whoever would like to package RStudio now. Thanks for the offer of help. I look foward to when RStudio is merely a ~guix install rstudio~ away. Best Regards, Kyle
