But the work in wip-libreoffice is more a quick proof of concept, getting as quickly as possible to a compiling libreoffice. Fo= r the two dependencies I added, I needed to fill in fields (synopses and/or = descrip- tions), enable the tests and make them work, and add optional inputs (= which apparently were not needed for libreoffice, but should be there for a = complete package, that is presented to the user and not only an input to libreo= ffice). =20 As I see it, we should not simply merge the wip-libreoffice branch, bu= t pick up the added dependencies one by one and turn them into proper patches= for new packages. =20 I agree. =20 The most problematic dependency was nss which has since been added to maste= r. I don't know, but I suspect it might need tweaking to play nicely with libreoffice. Libreoffice has some tests which run during the build phase, and others whi= ch run=20 in the test phase. It was one in the build phase that was crashing. I didn't have a machine that was up to the job of building everything local= ly. So I had to rely on hydra. The Libreoffice devs refused assistance after I described how Guix worked.
