Not yet. I have a lot going on '(family-time meeting evening-routine sleep morning-routine job) and will not be able to send the patch to guix-patches until after 6PM UTC-6 tomorrow (I think that's midnight UTC 27 August). If I find time to send a patch before then, I will. After that, I do not have control over when the patch will be merged. It will have to be reviewed, and I might have to change it to fit the coding style a little better. (My patch adding rednotebook still hasn't even been reviewed more than a month after I sent it, but usually patches are reviewed and pushed quickly.) I'm sorry :(

Great news! I got cvassistant working! I will send the patch when I have time. Nicolas Goaziou, I could not have done it without your template, so I want to include your info in the copyright section of cvassistant.scm. If that's ok with you, what should I put? -- -Jesse

I looked into this. the quazip package produces libraries called
quazip5, not quazip-qt5. make expects quazip-qt5 because of a line in
CVAssistant.pro:
LIBS += -lquazip-qt5
Replace this line and we can move to the next problem in building
cvassistant.

In order to get you, or someone else, started, here is a draft for the
package:
(define-public cvassistant
(package
(name "cvassistant")
(version "3.1.0")
(source (origin
(method url-fetch)
(uri (string-append "mirror://sourceforge/cvassistant/"
"cvassistant-" version "-src.tar.bz2"))
(sha256
(base32
"1y2680bazyiwm50gdhdd4982ckbjscrkbw2mngyk7yw708iadvr7"
(build-system gnu-build-system)
(arguments
`(#:phases
(modify-phases %standard-phases
(add-after 'unpack 'remove-donation-banner
;; Remove dialog box with a donation link, as suggested by
;; the INSTALL file.
(lambda _
(substitute* "controllers/mainwindow.cpp"
(("#(define NO_DONATION_PROMPT)" _ line) line))
#t))
(add-after 'unpack 'fix-quazip-directory
;; Without it, build process fails with "fatal error:
;; quazip/quazipfile.h: No such file or directory".
;;
;; FIXME: insufficient! It fails later with "ld: cannot
;; find -lquazip-qt5".
(lambda _
(substitute* "models/resumedocument.h"
(("quazip(/quazipfile\\.h)" _ suffix)
(string-append "quazip5" suffix)))
#t))
(replace 'configure
(lambda _ (invoke "qmake"))
(inputs
`(("qtbase" ,qtbase)
("quazip" ,quazip)
("zlib" ,zlib)))
(home-page "https://cvassistant.sourceforge.io/";)
(synopsis "Job application organizer")
(description "Whether you're looking for a job or trying to help
a friend to find one, CVAssistant is a tool for you. It helps you by

application process. It:

advertisement.

@end itemize")
(license license:gpl3+)))
Unfortunately, it fails to build with "ld: cannot find -lquazip-qt5".
This is probably related to this part of the definition:
(add-after 'unpack 'fix-quazip-directory
;; Without it, build process fails with "fatal error:
;; quazip/quazipfile.h: No such file or directory".
;;
;; FIXME: insufficient! It fails later with "ld: cannot

(lambda _
(substitute* "models/resumedocument.h"
(("quazip(/quazipfile\\.h)" _ suffix)
(string-append "quazip5" suffix)))
#t))
I'm quite certain this is not too hard to solve. You may want to
investigate a bit further, or ask for help through IRC, etc.

Re: CV Assistant
Hey Raghav! Thanks for your time and patience with Guix. I love to see you continue to use it! Do you think you could try packaging CV Assistant yourself? I suggest packaging it yourself for several reasons: - Guix is an incredibly hackable system. If nothing else, I enjoy working on and owning my own system. Not only can you make the system what you want, but it is fun to work on. - You may find confidence to package your own packages in the future. It seems like you are very curious about a lot of linux software and writing packages is an excellent way to get a deeper understanding of various software ecosystems. - Did I mention it is fun? Lisp is an excellent language and using it will teach you a lot. I hope you will at least try someday.

CV Assistant
Hello Guix! I just came across this amazing and elegant piece of software "CV Assistant" (https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/CVAssistant). I badly need that for my current situation. I ask for help to anyone who could port this software to guix ASAP. I am damn sure that this will be so helpful to other users as well. :) Please and Thank you!
