Hello Guix!
Release progress: week 9.
Here are the main improvements that landed on ‘version-1.4.0’ since RC1:
• System test failures and ARM image build failures fixed:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2022-12/msg00063.html
• Missing file added to Makefile.am:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2022-12/msg00037.html
• e2fsprogs now in the system profile of the installer
• Julia build failures fixed:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59836
• backported the ‘match-record’ improvements to avoid ABI
incompatibility compared to ‘master’:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59864
That’s a total of 24 commits.
Bugs that need attention or even fixing: :-)
• “Retrying a failed install fails”
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59784
• “Installer fails to identify installation device on Ventoy-made
images”
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59823
• “‘gui-installed-desktop-os-encrypted’ test intermittent failures”
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59884
• “install.sh script should authorize bordeaux” (almost done)
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59781
As explained before, I can push an RC2 by Sunday, which is real soon.
The above bugs are not critical but it’d be nice to make progress on
them before RC2. Consider giving a hand!
