Hi! l...@gnu.org (Ludovic Courtès) skribis:
> I think we should release 0.8.3 for mid to end July. I would like to target Wednesday, 22nd, which means the release must be tagged on Tuesday. That sounds doable. Mark: will you be around to produce the armhf tarball? By then we’ll have to merge core-updates. It’s mostly built on x86 already; mips64el may be largely built by tomorrow, hopefully. > • Merging wip-diet and wip-environment, and maybe wip-container, > though that one could just as well be merged afterwards. There are missing bits from wip-container. We’ll see whether David can help with that, but otherwise that’ll be for the next time. > • We must sit down and fix as many bugs as possible. > <http://bugs.gnu.org/20765> is a blocker IMO, but help is needed > from Pythonistas. <http://bugs.gnu.org/20888> must be fixed too, > but there are many others. Python people, help! > • ‘guix build hydra -n’ literally takes ages, as Eric noted, so that > needs to be investigated. Fixed in core-updates. > • ‘guix system’ is quite slow, but it’s apparently computing the same > derivations several times, which must be fixed. Haven’t checked that yet. Now is the time to run the test suite and report any issues: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Running-the-Test-Suite.html I’ll push an installation image after the core-updates merge. In the meantime, you can also build it yourself from ‘master’ to give it a try: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/System-Installation.html#Building-the-Installation-Image Ludo’.
