Hi,

it means enabling tests/native-inputs creates a package dependency loop
somewhere in the graph. I’d keep the commented out native-inputs
though. Otherwise whoever wants to fix this has to add them again from
scratch. Unless there are other reasons to remove them?

You’re right, fixed.

Sorry, I ran out of time at the end and couldn’t fix them. I fixed
some brackets and pushed it, thank you for doing this tedious work.

Cheers,
Lars
