--- Comment #13 from Charlie Li <vishwin@freebsd.org> ---
Expanding this to also include devel/gobject-introspection since they are meant
to be updated together. They are slated to merge at some point:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2616

However, there is now a circular dependency between the two since the GLib
introspection data is no longer generated/included in gobject-introspection,
but generated as part of the GLib build:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gobject-introspection/-/merge_requests/433

Upstream's advice on dealing with circular dependency:
https://discourse.gnome.org/t/dealing-with-glib-and-gobject-introspection-circular-dependency/18701

I'm thinking we may need to make a devel/glib20-bootstrap or similar so that we
have the GLib introspection data available for consumers to use in some
fashion. Sounds ugly, I know, and it may still run into linking issues, but
otherwise gobject-introspection cannot be updated past 1.78, which has its own
problems.

Cancelling exp-run for now until further progress is made here.
