So, what’s up with this release? l...@gnu.org (Ludovic Courtès) skribis:
> • Have a GNOME meta-package, or a ‘%gnome-packages’ variable, or > something like that. We should provide an example of how to get a > GNOME setup. I think several of you have that already. 宋文武? This is mostly done. Should be provide an additional config for GNOME in gnu/system/examples? Besides, there’s the GNOME-Shell bug at <http://bugs.gnu.org/22666> that would be nice to address. Also, NetworkManager apparently doesn’t work. Could someone investigate? > • Proper ‘package-with-python2’ (see <http://bugs.gnu.org/22437>.) > It just needs more testing and adjusting existing packages (fewer > lines of code, yay!). Done. > • There are several bugs reports open regarding container-related test > failures. I think we should make sure they are addressed and close > them. David? Hello! :-) > • The nscd issue in the installer image: <http://bugs.gnu.org/22209>. > I’ll try to reproduce it in a VM and debug from there. Presumably fixed. > • Incorporate root-encryption fixes (<http://bugs.gnu.org/21843>) and > documentation by Petter. Petter and Albin, among others, are > already using an encrypted-root setup AIUI, so it’s “just a matter” > of consolidating it. See also > <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2016-01/msg00118.html>. Oops, I dropped the ball. Maybe that’ll have to wait again. > • The ‘guile@1.8’ syntax patch. Mathieu? Almost done. > • Possibly the GitHub updater, which seemed pretty much ready. Ben? Done or almost. I realized that before the release, it would be nice to have infrastructure in place that would allow us to have a mirror of hydra.gnu.org (if there’s a download peak after the release, I’m afraid hydra.gnu.org wouldn’t be able to keep up.) One idea is to hack ‘guix publish’ to make it easy to set up a mirror. We’ll see. Ludo’.
