Subject: [bug#78558] [PATCH 1/2] gnu: make-librewolf-source: Delete testing/web-platform.
Date: Fri, 23 May 2025 06:25:08 +0200

* gnu/packages/librewolf.scm (make-librewolf-source): Delete
testing/web-platform.  This frees more than 800M of RAM during the
build.  Removing it seems to be enough to allow build on some
machines.
