I wanted to update sway but it requires a an update to wayland and
meson, which rebuilds thousands of things. I'm not sure the full process
for updating something like meson and wayland but I wanted to get the
ball rolling so I made these patches that add meson/latest and update
sway applied to the core-updates branch. I had tested them on master and
and was able to launch sway 1.5 just fine.

Thanks for your work on this!

I believe that you can make your latest version of meson a "hidden"
package. You could name it something like "meson-latest", that way only
the newer version of sway would use it. And it wouldn't require a
rebuild of the world. Perhaps the same is true for wayland.

You can look for an example in the gcc.scm file. They have gcc-4.7 as a
hidden package. Users cannot install that package, instead they install
gcc-toolchain.

Thanks,

Joshua

[core-updates]: Add meson/latest and update wayland/sway.

3BA3F4FE-E4FE-4110-8B6A-1F0A5B0F109B@brendan.scot
I was under the impression that this is precisely what I had done. In Guix, the inputs of a package are typically refered to by its scheme symbol rather than its name, so this does not cause a rebuilt as I have used the symbol meson/latest. It will mean if someone runs Guix install meson, they will get this latest version by default, by that shouldn't matter. Most of the rebuilding should be caused by the fact that Wayland was also updated.

Are my assumptions wrong?

Also it looks like I did make it hidden anyway…

Ah, my mistake. I withdraw my comment. I'll have to test your patches
at some point. I'd like to start using the latest sway!

Currently, when I switch to Sway 1.5, it runs, but any X11 program
errors saying Cannot open display :0. Not sure what's causing it.

Unfortunately, it appears that somebody else pushed equivalent changes
without noticing these patches :/
