Hi Jacob,

This one will likely be impossible to package for guix until we find a way to deal with js deps better.

Even nix has trouble packaging element-desktop properly:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/112946

Here are some options for matrix clients that would be more viable to get into guix:

http://issues.guix.gnu.org/51520 (weechat matrix)

gomuks:

https://github.com/tulir/gomuks

fractal:

https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/fractal/

matrix-commander:

https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/matrix-commander/

Would you like to work on any of them?

I'd be happy to help out in this effort.

all best,

jgart

This one is blocked for now because we don't have a way to build and package python projects with pyproject build system.

We'd have to package nio which requires it.

Hi,

I am closing for the very same reason as #54064 [1].

Cheers,
