Currently support is limited to the core-updates branch, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem, since currently everything needs to be built from source. For those interested in the numbers, I built (at least) 13 copies of the bootstrap binaries while attempting to pin down bugs. I'm using an Odroid-C2 with Debian as a base and a 32GB SD card. After supplying dependencies and running bootstrap and configure, make takes about 25 minutes. It takes almost 16 hours, starting from an empty store, to build all the way to hello. The board has a base of 2GB of RAM, about 256 MB of which is used for graphics, but I somehow managed to enable zram, which I'm guessing helped. In my quest for alternative architectures I'm considering converting one of my old macbooks to the x32 pseudo-arch and seeing if I can get guix working there too. --=20 Efraim Flashner =D7=90=D7=A4=D7=A8=D7=99=D7=9D = =D7=A4=D7=9C=D7=A9=D7=A0=D7=A8 GPG key =3D A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted --2D20dG0OqTzqkNh7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEkVdB/rIvpOM7bo+N9MHTkX6s7pMFAliq/egACgkQ9MHTkX6s 7pOM1Q/9GlfpAgmQBk6YXUUMQxZNGd14lVUmXmYjdIiYRBdoji7Trxr0jEqkPlkg skyPvJV0+4jd/20jpKDHIJuU0Rsm0Ipte0lY4OhMAuTwLpyF48Ae3CoLj/jL1Wc+ uZKafh8ggTdEVTdXrPmv3vmZ/YcUTwIbk5krGR0y8X6+ibZk+V+6z9gx8XDtoCxx BBXzq3eZYcaWQkWJeYfl4+ix8KM3SH2ahVqgvPlhw+lcUwtIlnccBCdlqvYrNLLf ASrCeMQ3iqBBRA/IAPR0JNr8f/Tn6OqWLskIl6MoyBezBwSUlwRNN7g3KVRJ+Jst 5d012yG0+cyVEE7TLy5EiyWulvkgYyRrR5jOXvGam5j0QbTfNUwU32bLXF2zh+gg ++hZeGNp1baXhvsUM8lWzfoGiuaErjnZnpkc1e/u6wRnA0lgtzF/o3Wh5kXhjSU9 o0HuqyS5AmOH8PrjYMRAmh0rT0RdqDJJTkgc4FzBEytRH5Qh/PMs/lPgovdAa/IV RjwEoXslLlGO7VeKEDOI78YH6R6uBlR3Zlnl0tB+BYYM/CVpDgGYWWIL/GBKYuE3 A4C9kFHPGM/M9RMZrbCQ6+6j8VFYIDopZG6TGXwx0bhXt0u7qSmZF4psDULm8Zo0 BNg+ffeWsf2UTJozxQs+E/WSt1eYtX+GYRN4d8aRbeVyuEAb0co= =h7TZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --2D20dG0OqTzqkNh7--
