* Getting rid of alpha label @ 2017-04-12 6:24 Pjotr Prins 2017-04-13 3:43 ` Christopher Allan Webber 2017-04-13 14:57 ` Ludovic Courtès 0 siblings, 2 replies; 7+ messages in thread From: Pjotr Prins @ 2017-04-12 6:24 UTC (permalink / raw) To: guix-devel Can we get rid of the alpha status? It suggests packages are in alpha, which they are not. I have already had two different administrators in two environments claiming that Guix packages can not be deployed on HPC systems because it is alpha. The excuse is too easy ;) I think GuixSD should be alpha. But it should not be proclaimed on the main website. Sure there are bugs to be ironed out, but we are actually better than Debian for the packages that we have. Pj. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

So now the only mentions of “beta” that are left are: 1. on the “TEST” button on the home page; 2. under GuixSD at <https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/download/>. I think we can remove #1. Is this what you had in mind? Cheers, Ludo’. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
