Apply Guix patches from debbugs

Hi, Question for Emacs users: how do you apply patches directly from the debbugs interface? From the summary view, I can press M-m (debbugs-gnu-apply-patch). It asks me for a directory, I point to guix, and then I get the error --8<---cut here---start->8--- cd

Re: Apply Guix patches from debbugs

Not exactly the same thing, but I read my mail in mutt and only because I'm subscribed to the guix-patches maillinglist can I interact with them nicely. Does anyone know if it's possible to point mutt at debbugs, or even specific bugs, as though they were remote mailboxes? -- Efraim Flashner

Revisiting optional runtime dependencies

Has there been any progress on this front since 2015? There should be a way to communicate to the user the existence of optional runtime-only dependencies. For example, I installed Gajim recently and it pulled in Gnome's keyring, which is completely unncessary for me, as I already use KeepassXC
