I understood the process.  I realize that i have done the same changes like the patch you have given as well. This means i can go ahead with similar process to update any packages on the basis of the manual you shared below. I suppose i cannot update Polari in gnome.scm as well until the core-updates branch merges with master. > > This is due to the fact that many (some thousand) packages depend on > meson.

For more information see > point 8 at > http://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html#Submitting-Patches I now understood why this happened. Ealier when i went through this manual i couldnt get the essence of it. Do I have to close this issue as it is no longer relavent. > > Good night > Jonathan > > -- Regards NagaMalli
