[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi!  It looks like the Meson build of `d-feet` fails to complete in the
version of Guix shown below:

```
$ guix describe
Generation 56   May 02 2023 11:25:26    (current)
  guix 3f8c489
    repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
    branch: master
    commit: 3f8c4899a9a67bb509a603bd21dcfcfab88c0e8e
```

This is the final part of the build log:

Unfortunately I know nothing about Meson, so I can't suggest a way to go…

Thanks and have a nice day!

Looking at d-feet itself, it appears as though it has been all but
deprecated in the favour of d-spy.  Perhaps guix should simply declare
it a deprecated package instead of attempting to patch it – a patch has
already been filed upstream previously, but is not yet merged any
branch as far as I'm aware.

Cheers

Thanks for the info!  For reference, this looks like the mentioned patch:

I fix this in https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63270 and it's pending to be
merged.

You can also try d-spy which IMO it's very good alternate.
