pending mate upgrade patches to 1.26

pending mate upgrade patches to 1.26

[Andy Tai]

Hi, I submitted patches to update the Mate desktop to 1.26.

The state of them is that there are two prerequisites that have passed
Guix QA check:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64001
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64012

and the mate upgrade patches are in
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64084

which Guix QA cannot build-check for now because the first two
dependencies are not merged.

These issues are properly marked in debbugs with "block" relationship.

This may not be clear from looking at the patch issues themselves so I
post a message here. Thanks for reviews and git commits if no issues

I had a quick look at this patch, but am a bit confused. If I read it
correctly, it updates tzdata (which causes a lot of rebuilds, and without
updating python-pytz as stipulated by a comment in the code of tzdata),
and then it creates a new variable tzdata-next which looks to be the same.

Would the good approach not be to update tzdata and python-pytz, and to
copy the old version into tzdata-for-tests?

It is quite possible I am misunderstanding something, and in any case I
would like to defer to someone more knowledgeable about the core packages.

Andreas

Hi, these patches have been merged by Mr. Song (iyzsong@envs.net) . He
worked to get these built without the two extra patches. Thanks

So closing the bugs
   https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64001 and
   https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64012 ;
if this was a misunderstanding, please feel free to reopen them or to
submit new patches.
