Matrix & Nheko Packaging

[Brett Gilio]

Hi all,

In my time using GuixSD I have had some relative success in not 
only
learning the environment, but also getting some of my peers to 
switch.
As with Guix still being very much a growing project, we all know 
the
excitement and struggle that comes with the repository lacking 
some
essential packages we are accustomed in a transition.

My peers and I use the Matrix protocol for most of our 
communication as
a secondary option to IRC and Email. I have been contemplating 
which
Matrix client would be easiest to package for Guix and have 
decided on
Nheko, which is free software.

This client has most of the necessary components already packaged 
on
Guix with the exception of a few. Thankfully, those missing 
packages are
also free software. So, in total, I would be looking at packaging 
three
or four components.

I am wondering if there are any other Matrix users who have any
objections or agreement to this possibility.

Anyways, carry on.
