[PATCH core-updates-frozen] gnu: glib: Skip ‘testfilemonitor’ test.
(address . guix-patches@gnu.org)(name . Thiago Jung Bauermann)(address . bauermann@kolabnow.com)
20211012160312.158351-1-bauermann@kolabnow.com
On powerpc64le-linux, it fails approximately 2 out of 3 times. On x86_64 it
also fails every now and then, at least on glib’s CI.
* gnu/packages/patches/glib-testfilemonitor-Skip-if-we-are-avoiding-flaky-tests.patch:
New file.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add new patch.
* gnu/packages/glib.scm: Use it.

Hello,
Since glib was recently updated on core-updates frozen, it stopped building
on powerpc64le-linux because of this test failure. I noticed the issue while
testing `guix pull` from the branch and the pull failed due to this problem.
It turns out Debian has a patch addressing exactly this, so let’s use it
too.
Unfortunately, `guix pull` still fails on powerpc64le-linux because the Guix
package recently started to depend on MariaDB, which unfortunately I t think
never built successfuly on this platform due to testsuite failures.
