Hello, hakers!
I want to build a package 1 that depends on package 2.
To be more precise, I want Liferea without webkit. Older versions allow you
to use gtkhtml(2).
How to act in such a case? You can even put the question wider: need an
advanced rss-aggregator,
but there is nothing in the repo. Quiterss.. C++, Qt.. it's still difficult
for me.

Hello!  Could you explain in a little more detail what you want to do?
I'm sure someone here could help you out, but it isn't clear what you're
trying to do.

Hah! RSS-aggregator Liferea could use multilple html-engines. Old versions
- gtkhtml, recent versions - webkit. I want build with gtkhtml. How to
create package definition for old version Liferea with gtkhtml? The problem
is that Guix does not know anything about this library, right? Well, I
build gtkhtml locally, what next?

This is another white spot in the manual! For example, I need to build
packages with cross dependencies, and? In this case the dependencies are
consistent, but there is still no clarity on how to act..

What do you mean by "cross dependencies"?  If you need to build Liferea
with gtkhtml, then you need to declare gtkhtml as an input to liferea,
right?  If you could share any in-progress package definitions you might
have already, it might make it easier to help you.
