[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi all!

This patch adds the 'playerctl' command line utility for controlling media players that support MPRIS.  As this is my first attempt at packaging software for Guix, please let me know if anything can be improved.  I've run through most of the steps in the packaging checklist of the manual so I feel pretty confident that it's in good shape.

Also, this is my first contribution to a GNU project (!!) so please advise if I need to follow any "new contributor" protocol.

Thanks!

David

Looks like you followed the protocol perfectly well!  :-)

Applied with the minor changes below: the ‘file-name’ issue was reported
by ‘guix lint’, and the license is LGPLv3-or-later because source file
headers carry the “or any later version” wording.

Thank you!

Thanks so much Ludo! I wasn't sure about whether the license included future versions, will keep an eye on the file headers in the future.
