This is great news!  I still have my 32-bit Thinkpad X60 with Libreboot,
although I haven't used it in several years.  It might be time to
resurrect it.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen.  It's quite a milestone.

Yes!

Thanks, Efraim!

So yeah, I'm Ekaitz Zarraga, my IRC nickname is just `ekaitz`, and I've 
been contributing to Guix for long time directly and also tangentially.
Maybe you know me because I've been working during the last years on the 
RISC-V bootstrap, porting old compilers to RISC-V so we could use them 
to bootstrap Guix and other distros (there are some talks out there in 
the wild about it, if you want to see my face and listen to my broken 
english). On Guix, I started the `zig-build-system` and worked in many 
random packages since 2019 (5 years already!).


I'm a freelance engineer so I have some freedom to spend time on Guix 
and other free software projects, like Guile (we need to talk about 
that) and many more. Feel free to ping me anytime!


Thanks all!

Ekaitz

Re: Problem building rust application

That is a known issue with Cargo [1], optional dependencies which are
not used need to present anyway. It is also the reason why there are
many Guix packages that are only useful for macOS or Windows IIUC.
kanata is not a library, so removing the lines in Cargo.toml like Efraim
suggested is probably easier (otherwise it would have to be done as a
snippet or patch). I didn't manage to do it with substitute* though,
because that does the replacements line by line.

I also noticed that version 1.7.0-prerelease-2 depends on Rust 1.79,
where the behavior of temporary lifetimes in `if` and `match`
expressions was changed [2]. With version 1.7.0-prelease-1 (the packages
are attached), the build was however sucessful with the default Rust
version in Guix (1.77). The kanata-* crates do not follow semver, so I
had to match their versions.
