Hi Guix, wterm fails to start on the core-updates-frozen branch (commit ddbc3a6f4ca2605d8102aa659389300f97d715ac) in both sway and gnome wayland sessions: ``` $ wterm wl_registry@2: error 0: invalid interface for global 11: have xdg_wm_base, wanted zxdg_shell_v6 # wayland_create_context: No wl_drm global # wayland_create_context: No wl_shm global # wld_wayland_create_context: Could not initialize any of the specified implementations Can't create wayland context ``` However, wterm seems to be unmaintained upstream [0], so maybe this is not somethint that we want to fix in Guix.

I vote that we remove wterm from guix. It is still unmaintained at the github link below. And it doesn't ever run properly. > [0] https://github.com/majestrate/wterm/issues/24 > > Best, > Jack

Perhaps we could mark it as deprecated and point to Foot or WLTerm instead.

This sounds like the right thing to do. Either of you feel like practicing a 'simple deprecation'? ;-) Kind regards, T G-R Sent on the go. Excuse or enjoy my brevity.
