mate-applets failed to build multiple times in the Guix 1.0 ISO, so
MATE cannot be installed. I guess I should have tested more before
release; not much can be done about it now (you may close this bug if
really not much can be done), however maybe a more thorough testing
checklist or automation may be helpful for future releases.

Bah indeed. pluma and mate-applets both fail to build. :-/
I agree we need more automation here. One way to do this would be
something like ‘make assert-binaries-available’, which checks for
substitute availability (it could be a prerequisite of ‘make dist’),
where we’d explicitly check for DEs on x86_64 and i686. That would be
an improvement, though it’d still be quite handcrafted.

I have fixed them shortly after the release. This doesn’t help users of
the release, of course.

This overlaps with the need for (eventually) a stable branch, I think.

I did that in 762ba22efe01006d959503dc368ee54b16ccea31; 1.0.1 will
definitely have substitutes for MATE, GNOME, etc.
There’s surely still room for improvement in that area, but let’s open
more specific bugs as we see fit.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
