‘core-updates’ is gone; long live ‘core-packages-team’!

2024-08-31 Thread Ludovic Courtès
Hi again! Over the years, consensus emerged that ‘core-updates’, as a branch where we lump together all sorts of rebuild-the-world changes, is no longer sustainable. Those of us who were at the Guix Days in February 2023 came to the conclusion that (correct me if I’m wrong) we should keep branche
