Candidate

Canonical upstream: https://github.com/mudpuppy-rs/mudpuppy
Packaging target: current main (active; no tagged release)
Category: MUD client
Tags: mud-client, terminal, TUI, Rust, Python, scripting
Primary language/build ecosystem: Rust/Cargo with Python integration
License: MIT
License evidence: https://github.com/mudpuppy-rs/mudpuppy/blob/main/LICENSE
Expected Guix packaging difficulty: moderate

User-facing deliverable

Terminal MUD client with a customizable TUI and embedded Python scripting.

Packaging approach

Package a pinned commit and complete Cargo lock graph offline; wire Python embedding and runtime modules explicitly.

Known blockers and investigation points

No release, mixed Rust/Python build, and interactive behavior require a local fake-server smoke test.

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 39c843139d.

The channel now packages immutable upstream commit 3199e83e6173df178f17906b721630d927789c87 with its complete 283-crate Cargo.lock graph, builds and tests offline against Guix Python, preserves the MIT and locked-component notices, and keeps mutable state in user-selected config/data directories.

Validation completed:

real no-substitutes build; 29/29 upstream tests
reproducible guix build --check
focused no-network lint
three consecutive fresh-HOME PTY smokes against loopback-only fixtures
embedded Python handler response after observable Telnet DO CHARSET setup
self-signed TLS peer rejected with a certificate-verification alert and matching application log
representative Rustls Apache/MIT notices present in the installed output
exact staged/commit secret scans clean
remote SHA and GitHub signature verification confirmed
