This is postponed until after the release. > • New phase to validate NEEDED against RUNPATH (see > <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=20039#11>; we're > almost there.) > > • ‘guix publish’ merged in (I think it's ready now, right?) > > • ‘guix import hackage’ and ‘haskell-build-system’. > > • LibreOffice (anyone?), Hydra(?).

There are still some left, notably newly introduced ones. :-) For those I’ve just reopened core-updates with the intent of freezing it in a couple of days or so. The changes should be limited to: 1. ld-wrapper bugs fixed (just pushed); 2. libstdc++ not having libgcc_s in its RUNPATH (bug #20358); 3. #:validate-runpath? turned on by default for all the build systems (currently it’s only gnu-build-system); more broken packages will become apparent as a result; 4. libc’s own message catalogs are installed (just pushed). I think Eric has a small Perl patch that would be welcome, but that’s about it. Thoughts? Ludo’.
