There were some issues with the build system and the organization of the
source code that I initially struggled with.  I think this is very good
news.

Thank you!

With that in mind, as part of the evaluation, the Ring team agreed to
create a build system that conforms to GNU standards.  They're likely to
wrap their CMake system, but hopefully this change will make it easier
to package in the future.

I don't know the timeline, though.

Thank you, Leo!  I like the Guix project and its community and will
definitely be back.

All the best,
Lukas

Hi Lukas, there's really no need to apologize. We are happy for any help
we can get :)

I'm sure somebody will be happy to pick this up! Thank you for your work
so far!

I wish you good luck and I hope to see you again when you have more free
time.

Hello,

I would like to apologize for my long silence.  I am currently facing
somewhat of a crisis in my professional life, which is taking a lot of
my time and energy.

I agree this is very exciting.  Unfortunately, I am afraid that I will
not have the time to finish this patch series in the near future.  I
have been working on this in my spare time which I have to dedicate to
other purposes right now.  I am very sorry about this.

If anyone would like to work on this patch series, please feel free to
claim it as your own. I hope my work will be of some use.  If nobody
picks it up, I will be very happy to come back to it, but that will most
likely not happen within the next two months.

I am sorry to tell you this only now, I should have come forward with
this earlier.

Best,
Lukas

What's the status of this patch series?  Especially since Ring just
recently became an official GNU package [1], it would be super nice to
have it in GNU Guix!

[Patch 0/10] Add Ring

[Lukas Gradl]

Hello Guix!

The following patch series adds Ring, a distributed multimedia
communications program.

There is one issue that I can not figure out: The program ring.cx throws
an error if evolution-data-server is not installed in the same profile.
I hence propagated evolution-data-server, but this does not seem to
solve the issue.  If evolution-data-server is installed, it works fine.

Thank you for any feedback!

Best,
Lukas
