Hi,

John Kehayias <john.kehayias <at> protonmail.com> skribis:

> I completely forgot there is another patch needed here, one to add freetype-brotli. That is just our freetype package with brotli added as a propagated-input for WOFF font support (if I recall). Attaching the patch now.

OK.

> Actually I think our freetype package should do that as well, but since has nearly 18k dependents that should be grouped with other large changes. I brought this up on guix-devel [0] but didn't get any responses about this change. I think it is not controversial, just how to manage the rebuilds. Perhaps on the next mesa/related branch?

Yes, you should check on IRC or guix-devel whether this change can be
piggybacked on an existing mass-rebuild branch.

Maybe ‘freetype-with-brotli’ as you suggested.   Also please add a TODO
about the eventual merge of this into ‘freetype’.

Thanks!

Ludo’.
