commit 505c9544247f27cb6ebf749d0902d53c33dac308
which will hopefully fix PR pkg/54909 and not break PR pkg/54298
The new patch sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that uninstalled
glib-compile-resources can find libraries. This fixes the following
error during build:
[651/1015] Generating plugin-resources.c with a custom command.

Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.2
==================================
* Add various new array functions (#236, #269, #373)
- `g_array_copy()`
- `g_ptr_array_copy()`
- `g_ptr_array_extend()`
- `g_ptr_array_extend_and_steal()`
- `g_array_binary_search()`
* Add `g_assert_finalize_object()` helper function for writing tests (#488)
* Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
rather than silently leaking. (#787)
* Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
* Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
* Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
third-party code should now be using
`GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)
* Improve support for running `ninja test` when GLib is built statically (#1648)
* Improve `GNetworkMonitor` detection of offline states (#1788)

function (#1791)

of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
* More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
* Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
* Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
* Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
* Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
of packaged libraries (!951)

on Windows (!979)

* Set `G_WITH_CYGWIN` again when GLib is built on Cygwin (this was a regression
from the autotools build) (!736)
* Use `GCocoaNotificationBackend` by default on macOS, rather than
`GGtkNotificationBackend` (!745)
* Use Windows symbol visibility when GLib is built on Cygwin, as PE binaries
are subject to W32 visibility mechanics — this affects the definition of
`_GLIB_EXTERN` (!752)
* Add coloured output support to `gdbus introspect` (!761)

Overview of changes in GLib 2.60.7
* Bugs fixed:
- Invalid characters in Open Location dialog crashes GIMP
- Setting GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED} to before 2.56 triggers warnings
- Backport !1009 “gapplication: remove inactivity_timeout source on finalize” to glib-2-60
- Backport !1008 “gmessages: Only use structured logs if GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED is ≥2.56” to glib-2-60

- Backport !1017 “gdatetime: Avoid an assertion failure when parsing some ISO 8601 dates” to glib-2-60
The motivation is to consider meson as an application, so there is only
one copy on the system, and as a python 3 program, it can build python 2
packages.

meson `pkgconfig' module generate pkg-config files during the configure
phase and PKGCONFIG_OVERRIDE can be used in post-configure stage to
avoid directly patching meson.build files.
Discussed with <ryoon>, thanks!

* Translation updates:
- German
- Default to a newer POSIX, since we build this package with -std=gnu99
- Link against libnsl and libintl
- Don't use mnt_opt
- XXX who else uses this case in gunixmounts.c?
- include <sys/filio.h> for FIONREAD.
- Auto-detect GNU iconv.
- Don't fail if getxattr is not available. The code is already ready
for this case with some small configure changes.
GLib's move to meson from autotools means we are effectively starting
from scratch with non-linux build fixes. Support for python 2 has
also been dropped (given that meson requires python 3). I replaced
sysutils/gio-fam with a build option.
The full lengthy list of changes is available from:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/tags/2.60.2
Some highlights:
* Improve network status detection with NetworkManager (!781)
* Add async GIO API: g_file_query_default_handler_async(), g_app_info_launch_uris_async() (#1249, #1347)
* Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)
* Add writev() and writev_all() APIs to GOutputStream and GPollableOutputStream,
and provide implementations of them for many subclasses. (#1431)
* Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
* Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
`g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
* Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489+* Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
(!196)
* Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
The GCredentials support for NetBSD missed a
G_CREDENTIALS_SOCKET_GET_CREDENTIALS_SUPPORTED define and remove
commented out G_CREDENTIALS_UNIX_CREDENTIALS_MESSAGE_SUPPORTED.
Due that the client sent credentials but the server was not able
to receive them.
Regarding possible G_CREDENTIALS_UNIX_CREDENTIALS_MESSAGE_SUPPORTED
support probably logic for LOCAL_CREDS should be added but on NetBSD
before 8.0 sc_pid field is not present making that probably not
suitable to use as GCredentials mechanism (since 8.0 this will
probably work).
Bump PKGREVISION
