* gnu/packages/gnome.scm (gnome): Remove gnome-boxes from propagated-inputs,
since it is no longer a Core App in 42.
---
Hi everyone,

I noticed while reading [1] that Boxes was no longer required in GNOME, so
here's a patch that does exactly that.

SGTM, but we should probably offer a gnome-developer-tools meta package
too if we aim to make that distinction.  Also note that gnome
technically isn't gnome-core: for instance, it excludes eog on
platforms where it doesn't build and I personally don't aim on touching
Loupe with a ten-foot pole while the Rust build system is still a
blazing dumpster.

Cheers

There are so few GNOME developer packages for now that I don't think
it's necessary yet.  They're also very varied so most "developers" might
only need one or two.

This patch was basically a reaction to the last core-updates cycle, when
we were wondering why GNOME Boxes was included by default.

Best,

I’m all for it!  I also noticed that notably during the ‘core-updates’
cycle, and I think it’s just too much, as GNOME developers acknowledged
by removing it from the “core apps”.

removal of the corresponding uses of it in the gnome services.
