Subject: Guix Reduces Bootstrap Seed by 50%
Date: Tue, 08 Oct 2019 16:04:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zhibjptz.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)

Hello Guix!

We are delighted to announce that the first reduction by 50% of the Guix 
``bootstrap binaries'' has now been released to master.
Read more about this change at:

    https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/guix-reduces-bootstrap-seed-by-50/

This is a very important step because the ~250MB ``seed'' of binary code
was practically non-auditable, which makes it hard to establish what
source code produced them.

Big thanks to all who helped make this a reality!

janneke -- on behalf of the bootstrappable team
