Hi, Jacob Hrbek <kreyren@rixotstudio.cz> skribis: > + (home-page "https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks") > + (synopsis > + "A simple wrapper for running Winetricks commands for Proton-enabled games.") > + (description > + "This package provides a simple wrapper for running Winetricks commands for > +Proton-enabled games.") I did not understand much of this description so I dig a bit and found that Winetricks is a requirement for Protontricks, and that Winetricks is a script to download non-free Windows software¹. Did I get it right? If that characterization is correct, we will not included in Guix as it would contradict the Free System Distribution Guidelines (FSDG) that the project follows, specifically the bit about not providing “recipes for installation of particular nonfree programs”. Thanks, Ludo’. ¹ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks

E.g., one of its main uses is to install Microsoft's .NET implementation instead of Mono (this was at a time when it didn't have a free license IIRC). More contemporary, going by https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/blob/master/files/verbs/dlls.txt , it downloads many other Microsoft things -- while some of them might be free, I would expect most of them to be non-free. To compare with another distro, in Debian, it is sorted in 'contrib'. Also, going by a 'Re: Hostile takeover of the matrix room', you are banned. That means you aren't allowed to send messages to Guix anymore. Given there appear to be some technical problems involving debbugs, I'll try setting up a local filter. Greetings, Maxime.
