Several of us have been fiddling with the =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99 br= anch for a while. I think there=E2=80=99s now consensus that the branch is really dedicated to core packages and (guix build =E2=80=A6) modules, as embodied = in the new =E2=80=98core-packages=E2=80=99 team=C2=B9. We=E2=80=99ve updated GCC 11.x, glibc, binutils, and various packages from = (gnu packages base). Notable exceptions are Coreutils, Findutils, sed, and tar; I tried but that=E2=80=99s a bit more work, notably because their vari= ants in commencement.scm would no longer build because their build scripts use sed patterns not supported by Gash-Utils. Long story short: I=E2=80=99d like us to freeze and merge the branch ASAP, notably because the glibc graft on =E2=80=98master=E2=80=99 leads to a bad = user experience. I=E2=80=99m happy with the current state of the branch and wou= ldn=E2=80=99t mind postponing remaining upgrades for the next cycle. Thoughts? Remaining work includes: checking that cross-compilation targets still work after the recent Binutils updates, checking i586-gnu (GNU/Hurd) and other platforms, and possibly addressing the Gawk non-determinism issue=C2=B2. Currently package subsets are built here: https://ci.guix.gnu.org/jobset/core-updates https://guix.bordeaux.inria.fr/jobset/guix-core-updates I don=E2=80=99t think I can commit to coordinating the stabilization effort though as I=E2=80=99m busy with other things this month. Would anyone like= to take the lead on this? Happy updating! Ludo=E2=80=99. =C2=B9 https://issues.guix.gnu.org/67880 =C2=B2 https://issues.guix.gnu.org/68378
