[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

This is a "meta" bug to keep track of the progress of packaging GNU
MediaGoblin, a platform for publishing images/audio/video etc. See
https://mediagoblin.org/

We have a guix-env.scm in the upstream source which should always have
the latest copy of our packaging progress and instructions to run it:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/mediagoblin.git/tree/guix-env.scm

Current plan is:

1. Add OGG support to libsndfile which is needed to package
python-soundfile [patch 47210]

2. Package python-soundfile (see above). After this the test suite
should pass 100% with pytest installed from PyPI [patch 47181]

3. Work out why python-pytest-6/python-pytest-xdist/python-pytest-forked
in Guix seem to be incompatible. After this our test suite should run
100% with only dependencies from Guix!

4. Package MediaGoblin itself. The build process is ./configure/make
which is a bit weird for a Python project.

5. Get a basic Guix service working, with sqlite3 and without the
offloaded media transcoding currently using Celery/RabbitMQ.

6. Rewrite MediaGoblin's JavaScript code not to use jQuery. Maybe
improve the no-bundled-JavaScript video/audio playing experience.

7. Work out why H264 support is missing.

8. Either package RabbitMQ (probably hard) or rewrite MediaGoblin's
processing backend from Celery/RabbitMQ to RQ/Redis. Celery has been
implicated in many bugs anyway, so there may benefits to the project to
doing this anyway.

9. Figure out how to deal with translations.

10. Add a PostgreSQL database to the Guix service instead of sqlite3.

11. We win. Maybe :)

Hi,

I'm going to close this ticket for now in order to focus the issue
tracker on things that need to be reviewed and merged immediately.

Feel free to create a new issue when the mediagoblin package and/or
service are ready to have patches reviewed for inclusion in upstream
Guix.

Thanks!
