Hi Guix I'm packaging go-github-com-burntsushi-locker, this is the package definition: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (define-public go-github-com-burntsushi-locker (let ((commit "a6e239ea1c69bff1cfdb20c4b73dadf52f784b6a") (revision "0")) (package (name "go-github-com-burntsushi-locker") (version (git-version "0.0.0" revision commit)) (source (origin (method git-fetch) (uri (git-reference (url "https://github.com/BurntSushi/locker") (commit commit))) (file-name (git-file-name name version)) (sha256 (base32 "1xak4aync4klswq5217qvw191asgla51jr42y94vp109lirm5dzg")))) (build-system go-build-system) (arguments '(#:import-path "github.com/BurntSushi/locker")) (home-page "https://github.com/BurntSushi/locker") (synopsis "Manage named ReadWrite mutexes in Go") (description "Golang package for conveniently using named read/write locks. These appear to be especially useful for synchronizing access to session based information in web applications. The common use case is to use the package level functions, which use a package level set of locks (safe to use from multiple goroutines simultaneously). However, you may also create a new separate set of locks test. All locks are implemented with read-write mutexes. To use them like a regular mutex, simply ignore the RLock/RUnlock functions.")

Thanks! Gio [1] it takes more than five minutes just for the description: I will diligently do it for all my packages :-)... but it's a little bit discouraging :-S [2] https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Synopses-and-Descriptions.html#Synopses-and-Descriptions -- Giovanni Biscuolo Xelera IT Infrastructures
