Usually in guix libraries also go in the same package and libglade-handy gives the Glade "editor" libhandy "functionality". Sometimes we split up packages in different "subpackages", but I don't think it's required here. Libhandy will end up in the closure of GNOME sooner or later and Glade is already in there (over libpeas -> totem). > Assuming that's the case, am I correct in thinking that Glade (the UI > editor) will then be able to find libglade-handy.so because it'll be in > my profile?

(Who knows, maybe we could > run Guix System on the Librem 5 once it's out!) As I (also) per ordered a Librem 5, I dream as well from running Guix system on it. Maybe I'll open a tracker bug to track all the things we need to run Guix on Librem 5 :)
