Hello Guix!
What about finally merging that ‘core-updates’ branch? :-)
The main things to decide on are:
• Upgrading to GCC 10? I know Marius has spent time looking at it and
fixing build failures caused by the upgrade. Can we do it?
• Reduced binary seeds—anything new? My understanding is that the
reduced binary seed bootstrap now works on ARM, but that we were
waiting on a Mes release to merge those bits. Janneke, Danny?
• Simplified package inputs—I’ll keep working on that, and most of the
work can be done without a world rebuild, so it’s not a blocker IMO.
Anything else? Any patches pending review?
It would be great to freeze within a week (that is, stop world-rebuild
changes) with the goal of merging within a six weeks (end of July).
Thoughts?
Ludo’.
