Candidate

Project: DRL (DoomRL)
Candidate upstream/homepage: https://github.com/chaosforgeorg/doomrl
Discovery evidence: Wikipedia
Reported license: GPL-2.0
License status: reported free license; verify exact terms and asset coverage against the pinned upstream source

Scope

Package the independently playable roguelike from source. The canonical repository, latest stable release, source hash, complete dependency closure, and relationship to parent games or sibling forks must be established before implementation. Do not substitute an opaque prebuilt binary.

Research checklist

Identify the canonical maintained source repository and immutable release/commit.
Verify the exact FOSS license for code and every installed font, tile, sound, map, documentation, and bundled dependency.
Check GNU Guix and the channel audit set for an equivalent same-upstream package.
Determine the offline build system and source closure, including submodules or language registries.
Identify updater, telemetry, runtime download, mutable-state, and network behavior that needs Guix integration.

Acceptance checks

guix lint -L . <package> has no package-specific findings.
guix build -L . --no-grafts <package> succeeds without network access or opaque binaries.
Upstream tests run where available, and guix build -L . --no-grafts --check <package> verifies reproducibility.
A fresh HOME/XDG smoke test starts a real local game, exercises meaningful gameplay or save/load behavior, and proves no store writes.
Installed license and third-party notices cover the shipped closure and assets.

Goocastle recorded disposition: blocked.

Terminal duplicate: the candidate URL https://github.com/chaosforgeorg/doomrl resolves to the maintained ChaosForge repository https://github.com/chaosforgeorg/drl (the old and new URLs expose the same refs). The authoritative stable source is tag 0_10_11 at peeled commit 90b797888be2550454b2b4b7d0df6aa9ef5b71ac; its revision-local LICENSE is GPL-2.0, its tracked graphics license is CC BY-SA 4.0, and its build metadata requires Free Pascal, Lua 5.1, make, and the separately fetched FPC Valkyrie source. FPC Valkyrie is independently pinned at tag 0_10_11, commit f89735a741a968997656c2d48a003ec569db7f22, with its own revision-local MIT LICENSE. The source has no Git submodules; optional audio is identified only as downloadable external material and platform/proprietary binaries are in ext, so the viable console treatment is the already-present source package’s drl identity with excluded optional assets. The local channel already contains that equivalent at tay/packages/drl.scm, with tests/drl-smoke.sh, runtime contract package drl/--guix-smoke/DRL_GOOCASTLE_RUNTIME_OK, and .goocastle/evidence/issue-680.png. GitHub issue https://github.com/htayj/guix-channel/issues/680 is closed (2026-09-03); its delivery comment explicitly records verified guix build --check -L . --no-grafts drl, offline lint, the isolated runtime marker, and the reviewed screenshot. It was the implementation ticket for the same DoomRL/DRL research outcome, so unattended delivery for active issue #334 would create a second package ticket for an already delivered equivalent. This is unblocked only by a materially distinct upstream version/update, a separately justified variant, or a bounded remediation of a demonstrated defect in closed delivery #680; none is present in #334.
