gnome-books was marked as broken because the build is failing after a meson update and the upstream project was archived. See #186941 (comment).

Do I understand it correctly, the app is gone for good?

[bobby285271]

gnome-books has been archived as upstream hasn't found a new maintainer: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/gnome-books-looking-for-a-maintainer/8912.

(And yeah it does not build with latest meson)

[MikiVanousek]

Should we perhaps remove gnome-books from nixpkgs?
