bug#72962: php-8.3.10 build failure

[Marek Paśnikowski via Bug reports for GNU Guix]

Good morning or afternoon.

I am not able to update my system due to the following build failure:

standard output context
~
The following derivations will be built:
  /gnu/store/m7jd9csjwb8yvznassm2mgkx8nyx9m0q-easyeffects-7.1.7.drv
  /gnu/store/1gr6a27wls2xlykjqkgy51pxv8c5hfmi-lsp-plugins-1.2.15.drv
  /gnu/store/gxjs8dzg8gmif2gj1ybkxxzv623qpq4q-php-8.3.10.drv
~

build log context

configure: error: Package requirements (gdlib >= 2.1.0) were not met:

Package 'freetype2', required by 'gdlib', not found
~

I checked with the source code of (gnu packages php) — freetype does not
exist in the file.

I apologize for not posting a patch, but I am still wrapping my head
around concepts more fundamental than patch submission.  For example, I
think it is a good idea to Cc the PHP team here, but failed to find
documentation on how to identify the team’s email address.

Hi Marek,

Good news!  I've merged this issue with the likely cause and a possible 
fix.

Teams don't have addresses/aliases, so you could have kept looking.

The teams are defined[0] in the Guix git repository, to facilitate 
automation[1] integrated with ‘git send-email’, and to keep one 
consistent source of truth.

If those examples look too complicated, ignore them, and just manually 
look up your favourite team members :-)

Kind regards,

T G-R
