[bug#67515] [PATCH 00/91] Add Mission Center and its dependencies

[Sergio Pastor Pérez]

Good evening!

After some time I've managed to package Mission Center[1] and its
dependencies. The dependency tree turned out to be massive *cries on rust*.

I've decided to package this as an example on how to build a rust application
which relies on the meson build system, I believe as of the time of writing we
don't have any.

Most of the dependencies are rust related. In order to alleviate the load on
the rust-team I've tried to avoid, wherever possible, the use of flags such as
`#:skip-build? #t` or `#:tests? #f`. I also ensured that the different
additions updated older versions with the appropriate inherit keyword.

You would notice that in order to package `mission-center`, some ugly hacks
where required. Hacks such as providing the sources of `nvtop-src`. The
application uses some of those source files to build certain internal modules.

Also, I could not find any appropriate way of packaging `pathfinder` with our
current rust build system. This package is problematic since its a
multi-workspace rust repository, where each module is interdependent with each
other.

All quirks aside, I think It would be nice to have Mission Center in Guix
since It's usually distributed as a Flatpack and serves as an example on how
to package a piece of software with such an esoteric build.

Thanks,
Sergio.

[bug#67515] Add Mission Center and its dependencies

[Steve George]

Hi Sergio,

Bumping this, are we still interested in packaging this?

I guess the GNOME team merged a while ago, so it would need a new series with updates. And since it's Rust everything with have new versions =-)
