Would it be possible for the grafts to keep a symlink (somehow registered to be part of the grafted fontconfig so that guix gc doesn't remove it) instead of patching the binaries? /gnu/store/-fontconfig-2.11.94 -> /gnu/store/-fontconfig-2.11.94 Best regards, -- Edwin Török | Co-founder and Lead Developer Skylable open-source object storage: reliable, fast, secure http://www.skylable.com
