Disclaimer: I've been quite busy with work recently and haven't been
able to work on core-updates that much (having to build the world
locally doesn't help).
Currently, the desktop system image doesn't build anymore because we've
also integrated patches to use pkgconf instead of pkg-config. I think
the effort to actually make that work with all of our packages is going
to be a bit too much to handle right now. IMO, we should probably
revert/branch out before then so that we can push core-updates past the
finish line. A feature branch to integrate pkgconf properly could then
be worked on later.
Other than that, I was able to get a working desktop before the
aforementioned patches but with some locale errors that I fixed with
ae07bc2dd0124b625acf70e594ccc90d6d128562, so I'm not expecting too much
trouble. We'll probably have to add libxcrypt as an input to some other
packages that I haven't tested yet, but that's quite trivial.
Best,
