I meant this part:
(define-public cmake
(package
(inherit cmake-minimal)
(name "cmake")
(arguments
(substitute-keyword-arguments (package-arguments cmake-minimal)
((#:configure-flags configure-flags ''())
`(append ,configure-flags
;; Extra configure flags used to generate the documentation.
'("--sphinx-info"
"--sphinx-man"
"--sphinx-html")))
Do you think it would make sense to do something similar with GLib,
and "hiding" the normal variant?
