Of note, this is to fix a problem with emojis crashing lukesmithxyz-st
(and perhaps proper st as well, but I haven't checked).
The current version of libxft has a known problem with causing these
crashes, see this FAQ for documentation:

Hi,

this patch cannot be applied because it misses the update of the hash.

As the upgrade would require thousands of rebuilds, this change should
be applied on a separate branch.

>misses the update of the hash.
Oops! Sorry about that.

I'm trying to update that now on my end, and im getting a lot of errors
relating to finding a mirror. Can you confirm this is happening on your
end as well?

error exmaples:
download failed "http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/x.org/individual/lib/libXft-2.3.8.tar.bz2" 404 "Not Found"

Starting download of /gnu/store/lcqg1f8z9y86amrpim5j5gci7s94ldd4-libXft-2.3.8.tar.bz2
From http://xorg.mirrors.pair.com/individual/lib/libXft-2.3.8.tar.bz2...
In procedure connect*: Connection timed out

I do know that libxft tarballs live here as well:
https://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/lib/libXft-2.3.8.tar.gz

I don't know if you would be opinionated on changing the source link if
you can reproduce the problem i'm having.

>this should be applied on a separate branch.
I'm new to email-based patches, would I just make a new branch in my
local repo and then make a patch targeting it? Or is there something
else I may need to do.
