Dear Guix,
Orbit2 is an old, unmaintained package that was used for the Gtk+2 stack, as
far as I understand. We still have Gtk+2 around, mainly for OCaml lablgtk2
(and _3, yes).
On gnome-team, this package fails to build on 32-bit systems. I fail to
understand why it would fail on gnome-team and not on master. If I
understood, maybe a clear solution would appear. As of now, I can see
different mitigations:
— pretend there is no problem, skip the failing tests (they are everywhere, so
maybe skip tests entirely) and ship it;
— remove it (I can’t see it on Debian, for instance);
— fix the test crashes (I won’t, and it is unmaintained);
— mark it as unsupported.
I went with the last option because I feel it is the most neutral thing to do.
What do you think?
Best regards,
Vivien
