Your patch looks good in general, though I haven't had a chance to try building and running it yet. Maybe just a couple of things: - I think it would be "New variable" rather than "New variables" in the commit message. Not that this is a big deal, and I could fix it. - It would be good to test if it can run with freedoom (a libre doom content replacement for doom that's functionaly similar). My guess is that the one change would need to be adjusting where the default searched WAD path is. freedoom and gzdoom both add a reference to /share/games/doom so I'm guessing that's how it's found. However I'm not positive about that. Looking good though in general!

Otherwise, if you'd be willing to fix it when merging, that'd be great. > - It would be good to test if it can run with freedoom (a libre doom > content replacement for doom that's functionaly similar).

GZDoom adds a reference to /share/games/doom because it bundles a .pk3 file containing some port-specific things which ends up in the store, and my understanding is that Freedoom updates DOOMWADDIR and DOOMWADPATH to point to where the wads are in the profile, so I don't think patching the search paths is necessary. Thanks for reviewing this! Jakob

So, seems good! I pushed the patch to Guix master... chocolate-doom is now part of Guix :) Congrats on getting in your first package! Great work, Jakob. - Chris
