Message-ID: <87y2fxr6w5.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
Hello Guix!
Attached the notes from the "Bootstrap what's next" session yesterday.
Greetings,
Janneke
- Branch wip-arm-bootstrap is getting ready but stuck at glibc-mesboot0,
when finished: release mes-0.23.
- Branch wip-full-source-bootstrap is ready for review; wait with merge
until wip-arm-bootstrap? When finished, relase mes-0.24.
- Support for PowerPC and RISC-V
- Submitting a GSOC proposal to have a student help out with some of the
problems ^^
- Building for PowerPC isn't straightforward. You'd need actual h/w to
test things out.
- Making the guix build system code less dependent on Guile and more
dependent on MES
- PowerPC
+ Glibc+GCC version combination during bootstrap is problematic on PowerPC.
+ Glibc changes introduces uncertainty.
+ Branch with bootstrap binaries is ready for merging:
