Hi release team,
Roaming on the old bug tracker (bug#35301), it reminds me:

gnu: Remove eolie.
The package has not seen a new release in more than two years.
It depends on the cryptography library python-pycrypto, which has had
its last release in 2013 and "is unmaintained, obsolete, and contains
security vulnerabilities" according to its homepage.
* gnu/packages/gnome.scm (eolie): Delete variable.
and the current manual reads:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
@cindex certificates
Another typical use case for containers is to run security-sensitive
applications such as a web browser. To run Eolie, we must expose and
share some files and directories; we include @code{nss-certs} and expose
@file{/etc/ssl/certs/} for HTTPS authentication; finally we preserve the
@env{DISPLAY} environment variable since containerized graphical
applications won't display without it.
@example
guix environment --preserve='^DISPLAY$' --container --network \
--expose=/etc/machine-id \
--expose=/etc/ssl/certs/ \
--share=$HOME/.local/share/eolie/=$HOME/.local/share/eolie/ \
--ad-hoc eolie nss-certs dbus -- eolie
@end example
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Therefore, it could be nice to fix the manual before the next
release. :-)
Cheers,
simon
