Subject: [PATCH v1] gnu: glibc/hurd: Hide to prevent warning
Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2025 18:46:28 +0100

When dealing with the glibc package, you will often see the following warning:

warning: ambiguous package specification `glibc'
warning: choosing glibc <at> 2.39 from gnu/packages/base.scm:915:2

This is due to the fact that Hurd glibc is exported. A simple fix is to declare it as a hidden-package.

I find that `guix build glibc`, with or without version spec, currently 
builds either glibc or glibc/hurd *at random*.

Since the core-packages-team merge glibc/hurd is an alias for glibc.
See 72dbcff9377d693ba2fe7e8563d7e40de6e19765

I don't think this is an issue currently but it might become one again when additional patches are added to glibc/hurd

Well, I propose to close this patch until the issue potentially shows up
again. :-)

Once the issue appears again, maybe open a Pull Request on Codeberg
referencing this past thread.

Feel free to reopen if I’m missing something.

Cheers,
simon
