Subject: [bug#34470] [PATCH 4/8] gnu: gdm: Use absolute path for gnome-session.
Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2019 17:14:14 +0100

Hi!

Timothy Sample <samplet <at> ngyro.com> skribis:

> * gnu/packages/gnome.scm (gdm)[arguments]: Modify the pre-configure
> phase to substitute in the absolute path of gnome-session.
> [inputs]: Add gnome-session.

This patch means that we’re pulling in GNOME even when we don’t actually
need it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix size gdm |tail -1
total: 909.4 MiB
$ guix size gdm gnome-session |tail -1
total: 1011.8 MiB
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Do you think we could avoid that?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
