dear fellow hackers,

i'm wondering what happened to the go-ethereum package.

i'm new to guix. i came over from nixos to package the bee client of swarm (https://www.ethswarm.org/). i made a package/service for it on nixos, but the module/service handling there is not flexible enough, and i got discouraged by the seemingly pointless struggle with it.

go-ethereum is a dependency of bee, or more specifically, the clef binary of the go-ethereum project.

this issue is marked CLOSED, but i don't see go-ethereum anywhere in the repo, even though the go importer seems to have been merged.

is there something i can do to help? shall i test this package on guix HEAD? or shall i just wait patiently?

any guidance is appreciated,

- attila

Hi,

Thanks for your interest.

As Marius wrote when closing the patch submission:

To properly package go-ethereum, you will need to declare each
dependency as separate packages.  See e.g. 'syncthing' for an example.
Unfortunately there is no importer for Go yet, making it a rather
tedious task.

The issue is marked closed because it was an incorrect way to package
it.  The Go importer is indeed merged.  Maybe, you could give a try
via this way.

From my opinion, you would get more answers asking on the mailing
guix-devel or on the IRC channel #guix than by unarchiving this "old"
submission. :-)

All the best,
