Thanks a lot for getting the ball rolling! One thing we discussed in Brussels is the need for more automation so that pretty much anyone can make a release without having special privileges and without spending an entire day building release artifacts. The main blocker is the two-step process with the ‘guix’ package update. We briefly discussed the use of ‘current-guix’ as a way to bypass that. (gnu services install) already uses it for the installer itself; the next step would be to use it in the installed image and thus, possibly, unconditionally. The main reason why this is not done currently is that it’s too expensive (equivalent to ‘guix pull’), but we could probably address that. I’m willing to give a hand in this area over the coming weeks. Thanks, Ludo’.
