Re: Packing Emacs 28.0.91 with native compilation

[Ryan Prior <rprior@protonmail.com>]

Hey André, glad you're working on this!

I have an Emacs package with native-compilation, pgtk, sqlite3, xinput2, and xwidgets that I call "emacs-edge" and have been using daily with Spacemacs. [1]

Hope you're able to get yours working, I'd love to move back to an upstream Guix package instead of limping my own thing along.

Cheers,
Ryan
