An issue is that GNOME now depends on Java: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ guix graph gnome --path icedtea gnome@42.4 font-abattis-cantarell@0.303 python-cffsubr@0.2.9.post1 python-afdko@3.9.1 antlr4@4.10.1 antlr3@3.5.2 antlr2@2.7.7 icedtea@3.19.0 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- It is great to have ‘font-abattis-cantarell’ built from source (since commit 97766323bc6e2b4dcfba4d6b46749a4280bca709), but it’s costly. There’s probably not much we can do, unless the python-afdko -> icedtea dependency is optional. Ideas? Ludo’.
