Hi

I tried to update polari package description in gnome. It resulted unmet
dependency that meson should be greater than .51 where existing package
description was lower. So i have updated the package description in
build-tools.scm and sending the patch. Once this is done i will try
updating polari.


I guess i am following the correct method.

Hello Naga,

yes, you are following the correct method for submitting patches.
Although we already have meson at version 0.53.2, just not in the master
branch yet.

It is only in the core-updates branch:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?h=core-updates&id=275f874958ddbbb68ddce93be2cb65bec7ac1bd4

This is due to the fact that many (some thousand) packages depend on
meson. So if we update meson, we have to rebuild all those packages.
This should not happen on the master branch. For more information see
point 8 at
http://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html#Submitting-Patches

Good night
Jonathan

Thank you.

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.

I now understood why this happened. Ealier when i went through this
manual i couldnt get the essence of it.

Closing, as it sounds like this isn't relevant any longer.
