Adding files to another package is not possible. Packages usually have a search path environment variable for plugins. I don’t see one for cyrus-sasl (I just grepped for “getenv” so I might have overlooked it). The “Guix way” would be to have cyrus-sasl honor, say, $CYRUS_SASL_PLUGIN_PATH and look for plugins in those directories, add a search path to the package¹, and have the plugin installed in $prefix/lib/sasl2 like you did. Could you check whether cyrus-sasl already has such a mechanism, or add one (possibly discussing with upstream), and send updated patches? Nitpick: > + (description "XOAUTH2 mechanism plugin for cyrus-sasl.") Also, please improve the description². Thanks in advance, Ludo’. ¹ https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Search-Paths.html ² https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Synopses-and-Descriptions.html
From: Peter Polidoro <peter@polidoro.io> I am trying to get OAuth2 working for mbsync so I can check an email account that has discontinued basic authorization. Following these steps: https://github.com/harishkrupo/oauth2ms/blob/main/steps.org I am at the point of needing the xoauth2 sasl plugin to make mbsync work with the XOAUTH2 AuthMech. Perhaps that is already a part of Guix, but I was unable to find it. Here is an implementation of the xoaut2 sasl plugin that I attempted to package: https://github.com/moriyoshi/cyrus-sasl-xoauth2 It seems to compile correctly, but I was unsure of how to do the configuration in order to make it install into the proper location. It defaults into installing it to: /usr/lib/sasl2 Perhaps it instead needs to go into the /lib/sasl2 directory within the cyrus-sasl package, but I do not know how to specify that in this package's configuration. I assume that if cyrus-sasl is able to detect and use this plugin then it will have the ability to use XOAUTH2 making mbsync work correctly, but that would have to be tested to make sure more configuration is not needed.
