 uep | ah. I looked to see if I had the same, and it was nowhere to be seen. | 08:36:32 |
| uep | So, yeah, confirmation that this works. It may be slightly too magic, but it works. | 08:37:44 |

 Grimmauld (any/all) | I just saw this in the GTK room: https://pad.gnome.org/lB9NBpwCSmKEzZIVve__Vg#
How will this work for nix? Currently glycin directly depends on gtk4, which directly depends on gdk-pixbuf, which probably should depend on glycin. | 21:19:07 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | which means we have a cyclic dependency. How do we break it? | 21:19:23 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | supposedly glycin would be cycle-free, but our package wouldn't be. SO some work required! | 21:28:07 |
 emily | usually we just have a separate bootstrap version of a package that omits the problematic dependency | 21:32:51 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | So i had a chat with the glycin people, and supposedly it is cycle-free in gnomeOS | 21:35:30 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | so we can probably break the cycle somehow | 21:35:39 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | (likely more precise meson flags to better split glycin across packages) | 21:36:00 |
| Grimmauld (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 wrapGAppsHook | 21:39:53 |

| Grimmauld (any/all) | Oh hey! | 22:37:17 |

| Grimmauld (any/all) | Will check that out then | 22:37:22 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | is it sufficiently split to use libglycin in gdk-pixbuf? I think that should be the ultimate goal | 22:37:43 |
| jasi 🏳️⚧️ | I'm not sure what the best course of action would be for organizing around cyclical deps. | 22:37:56 |
