Raghav,
Thanks for the patch! Amazing that this wasn't in Guix yet. Even
more amazing that I didn't package it.

You've been around long enough to know how we package git releases
:-) Certainly not like this.
More like
;; Comment explaining why we use a git snapshot.
(let ((commit "12a22e…")
(revision "0"))
(package …
(version (git version "2.1.…" revision commit))
please.
Upstream[0 ]says there's a 2.1.6 version, but it may exist nowhere
but in the author's mind. If you do find a tarball, tag, or
corresponding commit, use it, or explain in a comment why 12a22e
is better.

Write ‘; no test suite’ instead, which is to be expected from a
package like this.
‘No target’ makes it sound like who knows, there might be tests,
but there's no make rule to run them, so we don't. Not a good
look.

…is too vague. And this is worse:
+ (description "Eject allows removable media (typically a
CD-ROM, floppy disk,
+tape, or JAZ or ZIP disk) to be ejected under software control.
The command can
+also control some multi-disc CD-ROM changers, the auto-eject
feature supported
+by some devices, and close the disc tray of some CD-ROM
drives. ")
I know this is upstream's handiwork; not yours, but crikey.
Always feel free to edit the hell out of these texts. ‘Software
Foo allows gizmos to be frobbed under software control’? → ‘Foo
frobs gizmos’. Done.
A quick attempt with some inspiration from Debian:
(synopsis "Eject and safely disconnect removable media")
(description
"This little program will eject CD-ROMs and other ejectable
removable media.
It can also set the auto-eject feature, close the tray of some
CD-ROM drives,
and select the active disc in supported multi-disc changers.
You can also use @command{eject} to properly disconnect external
mass-storage
devices like mobile phones, digital cameras, or portable music
players.")

I wasn't able to apply & test this patch; I guess ‘udevil’ is
still under review. I don't have time to review it as well.
Please: try to add new packages in alphabetical order, NOT blindly
to the beginning or end of files. For once, this has nothing
(well, less) to do with my obsession for ordnung. It makes
annoying issues like this less likely.
It doesn't matter that most package .scm files are an unordered
mess: if you'd added eject near the beginning and udevil near the
end, the two unrelated packages wouldn't conflict.
Kind regards,
T G-R

Hmm, how is this different to util-linux's eject ?
Hi Danny!
> Hmm, how is this different to util-linux's eject ?
There is no difference, but for some reason SpaceFM use this as dependency.
This is has been packaged for the sole purpose of SpaceFM (#40753). :-)
Regards,
RG.

Wouldn't it be nice to do that in Guix too? Maybe you can see how they did it? Greetings, janneke

Maybe you can see how they did it? Thanks for the info. I tried and it works. But I am wondering why to use 'util-linux' package just for one utility. This 'eject' package will be smaller dependency than 'util-linux' package. What do you think? Regards, RG.

On the second thought, 'util-linux' is better maintained. So I'll close this ticket. Regards, RG.
