* gnu/packages/gnome.scm (gnome): Remove gnome-boxes from propagated-inputs,
since it is no longer a Core App in 42.

Hi everyone,

I noticed while reading [1] that Boxes was no longer required in GNOME, so
here's a patch that does exactly that.

SGTM, but we should probably offer a gnome-developer-tools meta package
too if we aim to make that distinction. Also note that gnome
technically isn't gnome-core: for instance, it excludes eog on
platforms where it doesn't build and I personally don't aim on touching
Loupe with a ten-foot pole while the Rust build system is still a
blazing dumpster.

Cheers

There are so few GNOME developer packages for now that I don't think
it's necessary yet. They're also very varied so most "developers" might
only need one or two.

This patch was basically a reaction to the last core-updates cycle, when
we were wondering why GNOME Boxes was included by default.

Best,

I’m all for it! I also noticed that notably during the ‘core-updates’
cycle, and I think it’s just too much, as GNOME developers acknowledged
by removing it from the “core apps”.

Pushed as 4722496292ea282db7d1779bfada1e6a3813be99, along with the
removal of the corresponding uses of it in the gnome services.
