Things to do for 0.8

[ludo@gnu.org (Ludovic Courtès)]

Hi,

Here’s a brain dump listing items that I think should be worked on for
the next release:

  - ‘ungexp-native’ added, like ‘ungexp’, but to allow a gexp to
    explicitly refer to a native package (in case of cross-compilation.)

  - Build system implementations converted to use gexps.

  - New package API, like ‘package-derivation’ but using gexps.  Some
    packages converted to the new style.

  - guix.el integrated, with necessary refactorings done in (guix
    profiles) and (guix scripts package).

  - In ‘operating-system’, support for dm-crypt and swap devices added
    (among other things.)

  - Improved ‘slim-service’: users can choose among different kinds of
    sessions, which requires .desktop files for slim to know about the
    session types.

  - New service definitions, new packages, etc.

Thoughts?
