While we are doing ok in terms of reproducible builds, it would be nice to support hermetic builds of conky.

Hermetic builds would be incredibly slow because they need to build all dependencies from scratch, so the HERMETIC_BUILD flag would be disabled by default.

Currently the build guides say "try building, when it fails, install a package". As a side-effect, conky build could automatically download (and build) missing dependencies.

This is a difficult issue to solve and probably requires a week of tedious work and testing. See this CMake discourse for details.
