Hi Maxime!
Snippets can be G-expressions. Personally, I'd go with a G-expression
instead of an S-expression, because
* that makes it more obvious it is staged code, and not, say, SXML
* G-exps are cool [citation needed]
+ (build-system go-build-system)
+ (arguments [...])
I see. Would you be able to illustrate with a snippet please? I haven't
used G-exps much.
A bit large, but all the code there seems required
Seems ok, though not being able to build i18n files is a bit
unfortunate.
Yeah. TypeScript shenanigans with the i18n.
+ (synopsis "White-label VPN client by LEAP")
About ‘White-label’: this seems an odd thing to say about software.
Here is a definition, in case we are talking about different things:
From Wikipedia
(https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=White-label_product&oldid=1028825641):
‘A white-label product is a product or service produced by one company (the
producer)
that other companies (the marketers) rebrand to make it appear as if they had
made
it.[1][2] The name derives from the image of a white label on the packaging
that can
be filled in with the marketer's trade dress. White label products are sold by
retailers
with their own trademark but the products themselves are manufactured by a
third party.[3]’
bitmask isn't a product or a service, it's just software.
It is also not sold. I don't see how ‘white-label’ can apply to bitmask.
Also, I don't see what value adding "White-label" to the synopsis
provides to users(*).
(*) Here, ‘users’ are all people using Guix. Including people hacking on Guix
(‘developers’).
I'd drop "White-label" from the synopsis.
I used white-label because bitmask is neither a service provider on its
own nor tied-to/developed-for specific provider. Whichever supported
provider is chosen the application name, icons, logo etc becomes that of
the provider. In other words, the app re-brands itself based on chosen
VPN provider.
But I'll change the while-label to generic, in the synopsis.
Regards,
RG.
