This requires a little comment at the end of the line.
I wonder if it is really needed. network-manager provides several libraries.
Looking into the pkgconfig subdirectory, there is the following:
-r--r--r-- 2 root guixbuild 389 1. Jan 1970 libnm-glib.pc
-r--r--r-- 2 root guixbuild 375 1. Jan 1970 libnm-glib-vpn.pc
-r--r--r-- 2 root guixbuild 361 1. Jan 1970 libnm.pc
-r--r--r-- 2 root guixbuild 370 1. Jan 1970 libnm-util.pc
-r--r--r-- 2 root guixbuild 414 1. Jan 1970 NetworkManager.pc
libnm-glib.pc, libnm-glib-vpn.pc and libnm-util.pc require glib, the others
do not. So it seems entirely possible to use network-manager without pulling
glib into a profile.
What do the specialists think?
