Subject: Separate packages for wayland variants
Date: Mon, 2 Jan 2023 14:49:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2a3eaf45-075c-ff88-21b3-9b4ec66145c0@web.de> (raw)
Happy new year fellow Guix hackers,
I wonder how we usually deal with package variants for wayland support.
In my case I want to make keepassxc working more nicely on sway. It is
as simple as adding `qtwayland-5` to its input list. Increasing its size
from 1271.8 MiB to 1303.5 MiB.
Indicators for a separate wayland package:
* size gets increased noticeable
* "enabling" wayland breaks X.org
* launching for wayland requires certain environment variables (like
icedove-wayland with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1)
Indicators for an all-in-one package:
* size increase relative small
* package works with wayland or X.org
* reducing duplicated build runs and space on disk with almost identical
package variants
Any guidance on this topic is appreciated :)
~Jonathan
