Agreed, I was curious if there was another reason for needing it, since
I /believe/ it's been in emacs proper since 25, but emacs-seq was added
in to guix after that. I suspect it it's still listed as a dependency
for packages, even though it's not actually needed.
Anyways, I've reconfigured my system with the following patch to fix the
issue, let me know if that looks OK! The packages that depended on it
build just fine, although I don't use them directly -- I was pulling
emacs-seq from emacs-org-roam which depends on emacs-biblio, but I'm not
using this feature.
Oh, another thing, I wanted to warn potential users of emacs-seq with a
deprecation warning using (guix deprecation), like:
;; seq.el is included into emacs.
(define-deprecated emacs-seq emacs)
It would be good to do that so somebody isn't tempted to re-add it when
it's listed a dependency. But that triggers errors:
error: emacs: unbound variable
hint: Did you forget a `use-modules' form?
Am I using it wrong? The (gnu packages emacs) module is included of
course.
Thanks,
Pierre
