Hi! The current Mes bootstrap on Guix has a big problem: the bin directory has been stripped from mes-minimal-stripped-tarball; so the bootstrap in core-updates really (accidentally) depends on bootstrap-guile.
This has been addressed by Ricardo and me at the R-B summit last week. I also managed to release Mes-0.19, which makes for a much faster bootstrap using Mes, and gives us a richer Mes C library that will allow us to build bash and tar, hopefully. On my core-updates branch at gitlab (https://gitlab.com/janneke/guix, 52c475a606 bootstrap: srfi-43: Remove) I have patches for all the above. Checking out the commit core-updates~4 --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ef809e3ac036eccc5f9c9edd8fb661d14ae15f2f bootstrap: Add mes-boot0; decouple mes-boot from Mes. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I have built a new mes-minimal-stripped-tarball that I would like to put up on gnu.org --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 19:26:16 janneke@dundal:~/src/guix/wip-seed $ guix hash /gnu/store/h80vzl6w2ih4hnrpmczs4m7v0qc888m9-mes-minimal-stripped-tarball-0.19/mes-minimal-stripped-0.19-i686-linux.tar.xz 0k7kkl68a6xaadv47ij0nr9jm5ca1ffj38n7f2lg80y72wdkwr9h --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The subsequent commit --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 986e982884 bootstrap: bootstrap-mes: Update. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- has, apart from the guix hash update also --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- - "http://lilypond.org/janneke/guix/20181214/"; - "mes-minimal-stripped-0.18-1.a155a0a-i686-linux.tar.xz")) + "http://lilypond.org/janneke/guix/20181215/"; + "mes-minimal-stripped-0.19-i686-linux.tar.xz")) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I'd be happy if we can do with a rewrite of the url this commit. Sorry for updating so soon, I sure hope we can keep this Mes-0.19 for quite some time. janneke -- Jan Nieuwenhuizen <jann...@gnu.org> | GNU LilyPond http://lilypond.org Freelance IT http://JoyofSource.com | Avatar® http://AvatarAcademy.com
