Hello guix,
Attached is a patch to include passmenu, a dmenu interface to the pass
password store.
I was not quite sure how to structure this patch, as it basically installs
and wraps a shell script from the `password-store' sources. We could
instead include it as a separate output of our `password-store' package,
but I already had it like this in my GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH and I was not even
sure if that approach was in general preferable.

I don't think wrapping it with dmenu in PATH is necessary. Users of this
script are expected to have dmenu from before, and may want to use
another implementation (e.g. rofi), another version, etc.
Can you try to simply add a phase to the normal password-store package
that copies this file to out/bin? We can probably avoid the wrapper too
by giving it the full path to `xdotool`, e.g.:
(substitute "passmenu"
(("xdotool") (string-append (assoc-ref inputs "xdotool")
"/bin/xdotool")))
Adding 'xdotool' adds ~8MiB to the password-store closure size, so I
don't think we need a separate output either.
Thanks!

It just fell through the cracks, thanks for reminding me :-).
I still needed to address some of Marius' concerns though...

While I agree with your general thoughts, wasn't guix supposed to
prevent this ad-hoc mishmash of software? If someone wants to use
another implementation (e.g. rofi), they could just create their own
package that inherits from `password-store' and overrides the "dmenu"
input. Case in point, I am not currently a user of dmenu (besides
indirectly through the passmenu script).
If people still see Marius' proposed solution as preferable, I am also
okay with that.

This seems nicer indeed.

Fair enough.

Thank you for the review.

In the "rofi" case it would be overriding dmenu and providing some extra
command-line arguments, but overall I agree with you and don't really
have a strong opinion. To my knowledge there is no established policy
for when to allow "impurities" (aka unqualified paths), but optional
dependencies often get a free pass.
I'm happy either way, so do what you think is best :)

In the end, I simply added dmenu to the list of `inputs' and replaced my
calls to `wrap-program' with a `substitute*' call. Pushed as 177475cfb5
to master.
Someone wanting to make use of an alternative to dmenu could just
inherit from `password-store' in order to override the relevant inputs
and/or phases. The closure size of password-store went from ~421MB to
~440MB, but as it is not a dependency of any non-password-store related
items, this should not be a big problem.
Thanks again for the guidance and reminders.
