@grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)So i had a chat with the glycin people, and supposedly it is cycle-free in gnomeOS21:35:30
@grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)so we can probably break the cycle somehow21:35:39
@grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)(likely more precise meson flags to better split glycin across packages)21:36:00
@grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)i can poke tomorrow. Which is basically a rewrite of the glycin package from scratch, to properly split it and avoid cyclic deps, then feed libglycin to gdk-pixbuf and feed glycin-loaders (the runtime dep) to wrapGAppsHook21:39:53

There's two PRs on splitting glycin on nixpkgs right now (one of them by me)

@grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)Oh hey!22:37:17

@grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)Will check that out then22:37:22
@grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)is it sufficiently split to use libglycin in gdk-pixbuf? I think that should be the ultimate goal22:37:43
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️ I'm not sure what the best course of action would be for organizing around cyclical deps. 22:37:56
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️I don't know if my PR is what you're looking for22:38:37
@grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)In theory libglycin needs to build without gtk4 in the closure22:38:50
@grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)and glycin-loaders can be added at runtime using the wrapGAppsHook22:39:04
@grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)(or e.g. standard paths in /etc, the way systemd/dbus avoid cyclic deps)22:39:33

Yeah I would be stumped on how to do this
