There are two separate issues here: one is the ‘guix’ package in Guix,
and another one is the required dependencies for those building from
source.
I’d rather have magit-popup be an optional dependency for someone
building from source.
I wouldn’t mind adding magit-popup as a dependency of the ‘guix’ package
in Guix if magit-popup were a separate package. Currently, we’d need to
have ‘guix’ depend on ‘magit’, which is pretty big since it depends on
‘git’; not great. Can magit-popup be made a separate package?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
