Status update: there’s now ‘librsvg-for-system’ used in a variety of
places, which selects librsvg 2.40 (in C) on non-x86_64 systems:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?h=core-updates-frozen&id=8477a6d743f3068e449402ade739355878242377
It’s used in a number of places, including GTK+, Emacs, Mate, and Xfce:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?h=core-updates-frozen&id=2561f2720f6afdab47991e6430dc8a1215a27bc7
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?h=core-updates-frozen&id=3bd7ce60530ad363e235f458ecbe2bcc9454242a
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?h=core-updates-frozen&id=efbaa5fcc8caeae7228c8f06c13879e7e920f5ea
We can now build Mate and Xfce on i686, with SVG support in GTK+
(without that I suppose they’d be next to unusable because many/most
icons are SVGs these days.)
What we still cannot build is GNOME, and it seems to be out of reach
because gnome → gjs → rust… unless we can use an older GJS or even
Duktape?
It’s a problem because GDM is in ‘%desktop-services’.
Ludo’.
