[bug#67512] [PATCH 0/5] Add LibreWolf


From: Ian Eure
Subject: [bug#67512] [PATCH 0/5] Add LibreWolf
Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2023 12:09:56 -0800

I mentioned in #guix that I was working on a package for LibreWolf, and it was 
requested that I send in patches, so I am.  These changes are based on the 
firefox-esr package in nonguix; I've retained the copyright / authorship 
notices from there.

LibreWolf (https://librewolf.net/) is a fork of Firefox which removes the 
telemetry and advertising, and bundles uBlock Origin.  It doesn't have the 
redistribution issues that Firefox does, its name/logo are under MPL 2.0 and 
aren't trademarked.

I'm new to Guix, and not remotely a browser development expert, so I don't 
expect these are ready to be accepted yet, but I believe they're in good enough 
shape to have a discussion about.  They're working acceptably well for me, 
though I'm not currently daily driving Guix, so there may be issues I haven't 
encountered yet.

Guide to changes in this patchset
=================================

icu4c has been updated to 73.1, and the previous version kept as icu4c-71.  I 
encountered consistent failures of the node@10.24.1 test suite with icu4c 73.1, 
so I kept that on 71.1.  icu4c is needed by many packages, so this change is 
the highest-impact in the patchset.

The (gnu packages wasm) module is unchanged from nonguix, except for the file 
header and module declaration.

The (gnu packages librewolf) module is a simplified/adapted version of (nongnu 
packages firefox).  The Firefox Nightly packages have been removed, as there's 
no LibreWolf equivalent.  I also didn't bring over the wayland variant, but I 
could, if that's desired.  I'm not sure why there are specific x11/wayland 
variants, as the packages for other distros don't seem to need this split.

The librewolf package has some functions duplicated from (gnu packages 
gnuzilla), which probably ought to get factored out and put somewhere, but I'm 
not sure if they should be in (gnu packages mozilla) or a different module.  
Guidance would be appreciated here.
