Candidate

Canonical upstream: https://github.com/N0NJY/mushtato
Packaging target: v1.9.3 (2026-07-30)
Category: MUD client
Tags: mud-client, desktop, Python, MUSH, scripting, TLS, SSH
Primary language/build ecosystem: Python, pyproject
License: MIT with a third-party license inventory
License evidence: https://github.com/N0NJY/mushtato/blob/main/LICENSE
Expected Guix packaging difficulty: moderate

User-facing deliverable

Cross-platform Python MUSH client inspired by Potato and TinyFugue, with sandboxed Python scripting.

Packaging approach

Package with pyproject-build-system, recursively add missing Python dependencies, install desktop integration, and test fresh-profile writes outside the store.

Known blockers and investigation points

Audit the third-party inventory and verify the GUI/toolkit, SSH, TLS, and sandbox dependencies available in Guix.

Acceptance checks

Pin an immutable upstream release or commit and record a real Guix source hash.
Build without network access using Guix-provided dependencies; do not download runtimes or plugins during the build.
Preserve all applicable project and bundled-component license notices.
Verify the installed launcher/version output and run an offline protocol smoke test against a local fake MUD endpoint where the platform permits it.
Keep profiles, logs, maps, plugins, and other mutable state outside the store.

Existing-package coverage

Checked on 2026-08-22 against GNU Guix, Nonguix, Guix Science, Guix HPC, Guix Past, Guix R Us, and RDE, plus all states of this repository issue tracker. No same-upstream package or existing ticket was found. GNU Guix already packages TinTin++ and POWWOW; this candidate is distinct.

Implemented and published in signed commit 0e1b2a61984bd6c196bf9d780d32859bac230e1d.

Evidence:

Packages annotated tag v1.9.3 at commit 3fc327a07efff7b421c24022f017b3837add3dec, NAR hash 11hs8k41mfc3a25qhs6vig3g3np6g7lmymbzfvjbfz2al2s661ai (MIT/Expat).
Adds hash-pinned RestrictedPython 8.5 and google-re2 1.1.20251105, using Guix re2-next/Abseil and the Guix PySide6, AsyncSSH, and platformdirs graph. Applicable Qt and dependency notices are installed.
Real output: /gnu/store/ym90z4s41psgxvb72pgy4f3ipz41ikg5-mushtato-1.9.3.
Reproducibility build passed all 258 engine tests, covering loopback TLS, SOCKS4, SSH and TLS key/certificate changes, Telnet, RE2 bounds, and sandbox cases.
Smoke proves real first-run settings persistence from empty XDG state, then runs Xvfb GUI and fake MUD inside a user-mapped loopback-only network namespace. It contacts no public MUD.
Focused no-network lint and independent review passed.
