Subject: [bug#72674] [PATCH] gnu: guix: Remove unnecessary dependencies.
Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2024 19:54:36 +0200

This reverts 0fda0486523d67c2c464386c07a0c2800d8d8c20, instead moving
the dependencies needed for ‘make dist’ to ‘manifest.scm’.

Removing this extra dependencies make it simpler to build the ‘guix’
package in particular on less-capable systems like i586-gnu.

* gnu/packages/package-management.scm (guix)[native-inputs]: Remove
IMAGEMAGICK and PERL.  Use GRAPHVIZ-MINIMAL instead of GRAPHVIZ.
* manifest.scm: Use the full-blown ‘graphviz’ package; add ‘imagemagick’
and ‘perl’.

Hi!

As Janneke noted in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/72643#7-lineno16>,
the new imagemagick dependency made it harder to get ‘guix’ built on
i586-gnu.  It’s also unnecessary.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
