 Grimmauld (migrated to @grimmauld:m.grimmauld.de) | 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 (migrated to @grimmauld:m.grimmauld.de) | which means we have a cyclic dependency. How do we break it? | 21:19:23 |
| Grimmauld (migrated to @grimmauld:m.grimmauld.de) | 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 (migrated to @grimmauld:m.grimmauld.de) | So i had a chat with the glycin people, and supposedly it is cycle-free in gnomeOS | 21:35:30 |
| Grimmauld (migrated to @grimmauld:m.grimmauld.de) | so we can probably break the cycle somehow | 21:35:39 |
| Grimmauld (migrated to @grimmauld:m.grimmauld.de) | (likely more precise meson flags to better split glycin across packages) | 21:36:00 |
| Grimmauld (migrated to @grimmauld:m.grimmauld.de) | 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 |

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 There's two PRs on splitting glycin on nixpkgs right now (one of them by me) | 22:36:43 |
| Grimmauld (migrated to @grimmauld:m.grimmauld.de) | Oh hey! | 22:37:17 |

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