Hi all,

As pointed out in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/75036#2>, Hyprland now wants binaries from the hyprland-qtutils package, which this patch series adds. I checked that it builds and I can run the utlities. One is to send a message if Hyprland is updated, which isn't relevant for our package, but I didn't look into any easy way to disable that from the source if that's what we want to do.

One thing to point out is that I manually wrapped the binaries with needed QT environment variables to get them to work. Using qt-buid-system or calling qt-wrap-program (or qt-wrap-all-programs) did not do much: it just added the plugin path for qtbase-5 (not an input here). I didn't try to investigate further but maybe the qt-team could chime in.

On the Hyprland end, it just checks for these utlities somewhere on the PATH (or something like that) so I just used propagated-inputs. The package/build does not otherwise depend or try to find these at build time. Using propagated-inputs seems to me the easiest and most straight forward method here (the source does not just hardcode something like "/usr/bin/hyprland-dialog" to patch with a store path).

I have not actually tried running the latest Hyprland which will warn (but otherwise should work) about these.

Thanks all!
John
