Hi everyone,

Just a note on cairo below:

I submitted the patches as 69495: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/69495>
It works for me locally in some limited tests (e.g. icecat).

Hutzdog: you mentioned getting the docs built and put in the output,
but I didn't see that in your linked repo. The issue is that gtk-doc
is needed which depends on cairo. I worked around the dependency cycle
by hiding cairo and making a new cairo-with-documentation (the first
is used for packages and hidden, the second with docs and public).
Thanks to lilyp on #guix for pointing me to glib with a similar issue
and workaround.

But maybe I missed something if you didn't need to do this?

Once cairo is approved I'll get mesa-updates building with libdrm,
cairo, vulkan, and mesa updates. It would be nice to grab the libinput
update so we don't have to wait for core-updates, but I didn't look if
that make sense. Otherwise we could have just a libinput-next for
hyprland, for instance (though I don't know where it fits in the
dependency graph here).

More updates soon, and thanks everyone! Cool to see about plugin
systems and services, haven't looked at that yet.
