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. =20 For those interested in the numbers, I built (at least) 13 copies of t= he 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. =20 In my quest for alternative architectures I'm considering converting o= ne of my old macbooks to the x32 pseudo-arch and seeing if I can get guix working there too. =20 --=20 Efraim Flashner ?????????? ??????????
