Hello Guix team,
I can reproduce this issue and you will find my attempt to fix the building
with the attached patch. I'm not used to this kind of bug fix so do not
hesitate to correct me.
During the building process, meson complains about the existence of positional
arguments in the function i18n.merge_file. These arguments are no longer needed.
> ../virt-viewer-11.0/data/meson.build:4:7: ERROR: Function does not take
> positional arguments.
Additionaly, the source code has moved. I modified the source repository
accordingly.
Kind regards,
Arnaud.
