The wrapGAppsHook adds every interesting directory of every dependency to the path, even when the dependency is only needed during build. For example, the binaries of appstream-glib or gobjectIntrospection are often used during build but the resulting closure does not need to include them. We need to split out a bin output for such tools.

Thank you for your contributions.

This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

  1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
  2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse.
  3. Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.
