Subject: bug#62820: [PATCH] gnu: xkeyboard-config: Update to 2.37. (Closes: #62820, #58402)
Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2023 18:15:49 -0700

For legacy reasons, Guix used to offer several version of Meson, but in a
recent core-updates branch all versions prior to 1.1.0 had been retired. [1]
By comparison, the most recent version available in the master branch is
0.63.2, which was released just seven months before meson 1.1.0 was cut. [2]

Meanwhile, some software may not have been ready for that transition. I have
not been able to confirm the suspicion for version 2.36 of xkeyboard-config
via online searches or the respective Git log, but updating xkeyboard-config
to 2.37 solved what has been reported as the last remaining issue in
core-updates [3] for me locally.

Here is the same excerpt quoted in Issue#62820 but without the offending
forward slashes for multi-line continuations. It was produced after this patch
was applied to commit 3bacd3c7 of core-updates:

The data above was extracted from the file

    /gnu/store/5j9synbgzbdjjf2gkyfy9mj83d213qkh-xkeyboard-config-2.37/share/X11/xkb/rules/base

That path contains an extra component 'xkb' relative to the location
identified in Issue#62820 but I believe the path 'share/X11/rules/base' there
was misquoted accidentally.

For the sake of completeness, I'll also mention that xkeyboard-config was
likewise updated in core-updates. The version originally went from 2.34 to
2.36 [4] before being updated to 2.37 herein.
