Hi Guix,
This patch series updates the console XMPP client profanity and XMPP
library libstrophe to their latest versions. I tested by building on
x86_64 Linux and used the new profanity to read some XMPP conversations.
Some things to note:
This version of profanity uses libstrophe instead of profanity's fork of
libstrophe, libmesode. There are no other uses of libmesode, so I've
removed that package.
The URL of profanity's tarballs has changed, so I updated the source
record. However, unfortunately, `guix refresh` is now no longer able to
check for updates. Using tarballs for profanity (as opposed to git
checkouts) is nice because profanity publishes checksums on their website.
Profanity could use gtk+-3 instead of gtk+-2, but since profanity might be
used places were the rust dependency of gtk+-3 is not appropriate, I've
left it at version 2 for now.
Best,
Jack

Makes sense.

I’ve added a ‘release-monitoring-url’ property to watch its home page.

It’s fine to use GTK+ 3.x: it’ll use librsvg 2.40 (in C) rather than the
Rust one on other architectures. (GTK 4 is a problem though.)

Applied, thanks!
