Woow, quite an achievement! To be clear, this provides packages to perform DDC of GCC 4.7, right? Did you choose 4.7 due to the fact that it’s the last C-only version? > How could we go on with this? > > Now it is very experimental, and not conforming to policies. > It is also architecture dependent. > > I don't think that this should go into upstream guix, because I don't > believe it is useful for the general public. How should we get it into a > place more generally available? Perhaps there are pieces that (reproducibility fixes, etc.) that are generally useful and could be merged directly. As for the DDC packages, I don’t know. It would probably require some cleanup and discussion, but I think it would make sense to add it in Guix proper. That would allow Guix users to test their compiler through DDC, which is not negligible. Thanks, Ludo’.
