in repository guix.

commit daa91a49b2914343afdfcdbea9a22c9d062ba185
Author: Philip McGrath <philip@philipmcgrath.com>

    gnu: racket-minimal: Change inheritance to follow bootstrapping.
    
    Having the package inheritance chain go in the same direction as the
    bootstrapping chain, rather than the opposite, is less confusing. In
    some cases, it can also help to avoid unnecessary rebuilds.
    
    * gnu/packages/racket.scm (racket-minimal-bc-cgc): Change to be the root
    of the package inheritance chain.
    [version, source, inputs, native-inputs, build-system, arguments]
    [home-page, license]: Inline formerly inherited values.
    (racket-minimal-bc-3m): Inherit from 'racket-minimal-bc-cgc' rather than
    'racket-minimal'.
    [inputs, native-inputs, arguments, license]: Adjust accordingly.
    (racket-minimal): Inherit from 'racket-minimal-bc-3m'.
    [inputs, native-inputs, arguments, license]: Adjust accordingly.
    [properties]: Override effect of 'hidden-package'.
