GNU Mes 0.17 released
We are delighted to announce the release of GNU Mes 0.17, representing 64 commits over 6 weeks. Mes is now an official GNU package and we have bootstrapped gcc-4.7.4 for x86-linux with a reduced binary seed (i.e., without regular toolchain). Next targets: - upstream the x86 Mes bootstrap to GuixSD - create a x86_64 Mes C Lib, see if that is is enough to bootstrap x86_64 - reduce the 1MB ASCII M1 seed to ~5000 LOC/~100KB of M2 source - create a plan for Geesh and Gash and use them to reduce the bootstrap binary dependencies - and/or otherwise reduce the bootstrap binary dependencies Packages are available from Guix's wip-bootstrap branch. * About GNU Mes[0] aims to help create full source bootstrapping for GNU/Linux distributions such as GuixSD[1] as part of the bootstrappable builds[2] effort. It consists of a mutual self-hosting Scheme interpreter written in ~5,000 LOC of simple C and a Nyacc-based C compiler written in Scheme. This mes.c is being simplified[3] to be transpiled by M2-Planet[4]. The Scheme interpreter (mes.c) has a Garbage Collector, a library of loadable Scheme modules-- notably Dominique Boucher's LALR[5], Pre-R6RS portable syntax-case[6] with R7RS ellipsis, Matt Wette's Nyacc[7] --and test suite just barely enough to support a simple REPL and simple C-compiler: MesCC. Mes+MesCC can compile an only lightly patched TinyCC[8] that is self-hosting. Using this tcc and the Mes C library we now have a reduced-binary-seed bootstrap for the gnutools triplet: glibc-2.2.5, binutils-2.20.1, gcc-4.7.4. Mes is inspired by The Maxwell Equations of Software: LISP-1.5[9] -- John McCarthy page 13, GNU Guix's source/binary packaging transparency and Jeremiah Orians's stage0[10] ~500 byte self-hosting hex assembler. * Download git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/mes.git Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mes/mes-0.17.tar.gz https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mes/mes-0.17.tar.gz.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: https://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html Here are the MD5 and SHA1 checksums: 93ca82612e203fd667dfbdfb83c06549 mes-0.17.tar.gz d38ec93ab6dc2c92a5c5e96fef7f9295972772c2 mes-0.17.tar.gz [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact.

GNU Mes 0.20 released
We are pleased to announce the release of GNU Mes 0.20, representing 147 commits over 38 weeks. Mes has now brought the Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap to Guix (bootstrap a GNU/Linux system without binary GNU toolchain or equivalent). It should land in Guix master any day now: a big thank you to everyone who helped, notably Ludovic and Mark. This release is a step towards the upcoming Scheme-only bootstrap and bringing Mes into NixOS and Debian. This effort is now sponsored by NLnet[12]. Next targets: - ARM support - Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap for ARM - Scheme-only bootstrap: use Guile and Gash to remove bash, coreutils&co, grep, sed, etc. from the Guix bootstrap binaries - mes-m2: port Mes.c to M2-Planet - Introduce Reduced Binaries Seed bootstrap to NixOS - Debian? - Hurd Packages are available in Guix master. * About GNU Mes[0] brings a Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap[1] to GNU Guix[2] and potentially to any other interested GNU/Linux distribution, and aims to help create a full source bootstrap as part of the bootstrappable builds[3] effort.

This means that bash-2.05 can now build glibc-2.2.5; notably it now successfully executes make-syscall.sh. *** A bug with execlp, execvp for file names containing a slash was fixed.

GNU Mes 0.23 released
We are happy to announce the release of GNU Mes 0.23, representing 125 commits over one year by four people.

Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify mes-0.24.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, or that public key has expired, try the following commands to update or refresh it, and then rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. gpg --recv-keys 1A858392E331EAFDB8C27FFBF3C1A0D9C1D65273 * Get informed, get involved See https://bootstrappable.org Join #bootstrappable on irc.libera.chat * NEWS * Changes in 0.24 since 0.23 ** Core *** Mes and Mes C Library can now be built with M2-Planet. *** Mes now supports the --bootstrap build on ARM. ** MesCC *** MesCC now supports the integer suffixes: Next to `U', also support `ULL', `UL', `L', and `LL'. ** Noteworthy bug fixes *** MesCC now uses the unsigned type for sizeof. *** MesCC now only uses signed division if numerator is signed. *** The Mes C library now supports an argv bigger than 255. *** Development build support with Guile-2 was resurrected. *** The logand procedure now works correctly. *** The 64bit build was resurrected. * Links [0] https://github.com/oriansj/stage0-posix [1] https://github.com/oriansj/bootstrap-seeds [2] https://archive.fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/gnumes/ [3] https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/log/?h=wip-full-source-bootstrap [4] https://nlnet.nl/project/GNUMes-ARM_RISC-V [5] https://www.gnu.org/software/mes [6] https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/guix-further-reduces-bootstrap-seed-to-25 [7] https://www.gnu.org/software/guix [8] https://bootstrappable.org [9] https://github.com/oriansj/m2-planet [10] https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/mescc-tools [11] https://github.com/schemeway/lalr-scm [12] https://www.cs.indiana.edu/chezscheme/syntax-case/old-psyntax.html [13] https://www.nongnu.org/nyacc [14] https://gitlab.com/janneke/tinycc [15] http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/LISP/book/LISP%201.5%20Programmers%20Manual.pdf [16] https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/stage0 -- Jan Nieuwenhuizen | GNU LilyPond https://lilypond.org Freelance IT https://JoyOfSource.com | Avatar® https://AvatarAcademy.com signature.asc Description: PGP signature
