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

Patch for tilibs2 libraries is attached. These are dependencies of
tiemu, a program that emulates Texas Instrument calculators, which I
hope to be packaging soon.

And yes, somebody with sufficient guile-foo could reduce a few lines
I'm sure by stuffing the repeated source object into a variable. I
don't have time for code golf but feel free to make the adjustment
yourself.

Guix lint gives no errors except that the source archive is not in the
software heritage database. I don't know how to fix that.

Attached is another patch to add tiemu package definition.

Note that there is a significant bug included: the pedrom files
included with tiemu mysteriously cannot be loaded in tiemu itself,
which is quickly noticed because one of the main menu options is to
load these files. However, I know tiemu itself is working because I was
able to load pre-built pedrom images from the original pedrom package.

I could maybe work on fixing that problem someday, though I don't know
if Guix likes the idea of having any pre-built images in a package,
even though the source is included with them. Maybe those could just be
removed some day along with the menu option to load them.

In any case, we could not include pedrom images from the original
packages as those are built with one non-free component, a standard
library which I think has some kind of modification restriction.

Hi Christopher,

Apologies it's taken so long to take a look at this patch.

I had to split your patch in to 4 commits, so that each commit is just
adding one package [1]. I also wrote individual descriptions for each
package.

1: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html

I've pushed them to master as e5bbb4662fd3198c036d2b7732694159d4c79346.

Hopefully myself or someone else can take a look at the tiemu patch
soon.

Thanks,

Chris
