Hi,
Iiuc, this is a client to connect to a service that runs diffoscope for you. But we already have diffoscope, so what's the point? Also this looks like saass to me, so I think we should refrain from adding it to guix. What do you think?

Yes, that's the jist of it. The main advantage is that it has a much
smaller dependency chain locally.
I find it useful on some of the not-particularly-fast ARM systems I've
been running GNU Guix, where storage may be limited or slow, and
substitutes may not be available as often, and build times
are... remarkable.

It is essentially SaaSS. The server-side is at least licensed under the
AGPL, if that mitigates concerns somewhat.
I'm not sure it supports it out of the box yet, but I suspect upstream
would be amenable to patches to make it easy for people to run their own
"diffoscope" services.
> What do you think?
I thought it was useful enough to be worth submitting, though I'd
understand if it's deemed inappropriate for GNU Guix. Still learning the
ropes. :)
live well,

I'm not completely sure either, that's why I was asking for a second
opinion ;)

Also, I think it's better to replace "diffoscope client" with something
like "client for the remote diffoscope service located at [...]" since
diffoscope is not inherently a client-service tool. Also it would be
great to mention the full diffoscope package :)
Can you send an updated patch?

Yes, and diffoscope runs can also be really expensive. It's nice to
offload them.
Also, if the service makes statements about whether submissions are
logged or made public, can you put that in the package description?

We can have SaaSS in Guix. There are already some packages that are
SaaSS. So I think this package is okay.
It's "extra okay" in my opinion since the service is AGPL, part of
Debian, and we have a package for the tool in question.
Guix is developed under the Free System Distribution Guidelines, which
don't mention remote services or SaaSS at all:
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.en.html
And some discussion on the subject of services in the context of free
software that largely reflect how we handle SaaSS in Guix:

I couldn't really think of a straightforward way to mention the
diffoscope package, but the attached patch updates the synopsis and
description to address the other mentioned issues.

Thanks for sharing your perspective and links to further reading on
these issues! It really helps to get a feel for the norms of the

Okay, sometimes these non-code parts are actually the hardest! :)
I pushed as commit 706460a35754a47bf832a40de4f22271e7088226 with the
changes below.
I found that the software didn't work without the requests module, and
that the man page was being installed to a location that is not
idiomatic for Guix.
`trydiffoscope --webbrowser foo bar` is super nice!

Indeed.

Thanks!

I was surpised it worked without it for me (I had seen that it used
requests); could my user profile have somehow leaked python-requests

I wondered why it wasn't showing up in MANPATH... now I know, thanks!
/usr/share is a hard habit to break. :)

I actually don't know how Python looks up module dependencies so... not
sure :) Depending on how you tested the package, it could be that the
requests module was propagated (installed into your profile) by another
package and that trydiffoscope found it there.
