Hey! I passed a long list of ‘--add-header="X-Debbugs-Cc: …"’ flags to ‘git format-patch’ in an attempt to reach the whole ‘core’ team + Andreas, but it turns out that only the last ‘--add-header’ option had an effect (or rather it overrode all the previous occurrences). We really need to provide reliable instructions for teams. Anyway, here’s a patch set! https://issues.guix.gnu.org/61790 Ludo’.

I am not too worried about a world rebuild, but more about introducing new build failures, leading to indefinite delays. At first glance, the patches do not look like they have a high risk, but who knows?
Maybe it would be safer to leave them out for the moment, and to start a feature branch "core" right after the core-updates merge? In any case, having a CI job would be very welcome, so that people could more easily test packages closer to the leaves than the root of the package graph. Andreas

There’s always a risk of course, though I think it’s pretty low in this case (I built everything up to guile{,2.2}-gnutls, which includes like 8h spent in ‘nss’ tests). Removing the dependency of GnuTLS on Guile is the most desirable part; the rest is more cosmetic. We can delay that until after ‘core-updates’ too, but that might take a while since <https://ci.guix.gnu.org/eval/228947/dashboard> stills shows quite a bit of red. :-) Thoughts? Tough choices!

Alright, pushed as 4895846197bd445dd68c832364c667dea4337f8c. Thank you for your understanding! :-) Ludo’.
