Hi,

Carl Dong <contact@carldong.me> skribis:

> * gnu/ci.scm (%core-packages): Add 'glibc-2.28', a toolchain with
> default 'gcc', and a toolchain targeting 'glibc-2.28'.

The problem is =E2=80=98%core-packages=E2=80=99 is only built when we expli=
citly choose
the =E2=80=9Ccore=E2=80=9D subset in CI (which we do only when experimentin=
g with
=E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99 early on); in other cases, all the public pa=
ckages get
built and =E2=80=98%core-packages=E2=80=99 does not matter.

Would it be an option to have:

  (define-public gcc/glibc-2.28
    (make-gcc-libc gcc glibc-2.28))

in (gnu packages base), or does that create circular dependency issues
(I don=E2=80=99t think so, but better be safe)?

If we did that, that package would automatically picked up in CI.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
