We should find someone willing to pick up the coordination work for the coming month or so. Any volunteer? :-) To be clear (but I guess it’s crystal clear to anyone who’s been around long enough :-)), what we need most is someone to keep track of changes, coordinate efforts, decide what goes in the branch and what’s postponed or moved to a separate branch, and send periodic (weekly) status updates over the course of a couple of months. This can (and probably should) be done without doing any actual hacking on the branch. > Currently, the desktop system image doesn't build anymore because we've > also integrated patches to use pkgconf instead of pkg-config.

Last time we discussed it on IRC, you were in the process of putting up a branch without those pkgconf changes, IIRC. Were you able to complete that work? If not, I guess that’ll be the first thing to do, unless someone has a better idea. > Other than that, I was able to get a working desktop before the > aforementioned patches but with some locale errors that I fixed with > ae07bc2dd0124b625acf70e594ccc90d6d128562, so I'm not expecting too much > trouble.
