GNOME updates

GNOME updates

[宋文武]

Hi!  With the help of ‘guix refresh -t gnome’ I update many GNOME
packages to latest (the 3.20 release) in the ‘gnome-updates’ branch.

Also:
  glib: Disable tests in build phases instead of patches.
  gtk+: Enable SVG support. (by using gdk-pixbuf+svg)
  gtk+-2: Look in system data dirs for themes. (by Jookia)

I have build some packages locally (nautilus, gnome-terminal) but not
all,  I request to start a job for it on hydra.

Please review, thanks in advance!

I think the non-trivial changes have already been discussed and LGTM.

I’ve started a jobset: <https://hydra.gnu.org/jobset/gnu/gnome-updates>.
Please keep an eye on it (M-x guix-hydra-jobsets FTW! :-)) and check for
build failures.  You can merge it as soon as it’s built, if nobody
objects.

Thank you!

Thanks!  but the jobset get:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
hydra-eval-guile-jobs returned signal -1:
timeout
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Indeed, this is a bit embarrassing, but the graft code was causing
things to be built during the evaluation, which is why it took so long
(Mark had noticed it a while back, in fact.)  Commit
9c3bb4c54d67899394af81c819fe60f391e35edf fixes it.

Also, “make hydra-jobs.scm” now reproduces the evaluation step that
happens on Hydra and catches problems like this one (note to Mathieu:
take a look at this, will be helpful for your project ;-)).  It runs in
~8 minutes on my laptop.

Next time something goes wrong on Hydra, this will facilitate debugging.
It will also help profile things.

I have already take a look, however I will need to look at it again to
actually understand it.  :)
