Hi!
I pushed a new core-updates branch, with some of the changes I had in
mind. Go ahead if you know of anything that needs to be fixed there.
As discussed before, we’ll merge the branch before June 13th.
Thanks,
Ludo’.

One week left!
As far as I’m concerned, there are a few minor core package upgrades to
do, plus I’d like to make sure there are no reference leaks (in current
master, the final Findutils hold a reference to the bootstrap binaries.)

Hello!
‘core-updates’ is open again for updates to core packages (the implicit
inputs of ‘gnu-build-system’), their dependencies, or the (guix build …)
modules.
Things I’d like to see in this branch include:
• Removing locales from ‘glibc’, and instead provide a separate
package to build them on-demand, and then using $LOCPATH. This will
save a lot of space.
• Maybe try using GCC 4.9.2 as the default compiler.
Other ideas welcome.
Ludo’.

There is some oddness in cross-pkg-config: It creates a symlink to the real pkg-config,
But does not do so for the pkg.m4 file.
I think the symlink is wrong anyway, since in the build environment the symlink target
will not exist.
Unfortunately, since almost everything depends on pkg-config this is hard to test.

Why would the missing pkg.m4 be a problem? It’s only used when
bootstrapping Autoconf-based packages.
(And if it’s really needed, it’s easy to add that symlink.)

Of course it exists!

Right. If you want to bootstrap an autoconf based package (for example, guix-devel from package-management.scm),
then it will fail.
(And if it’s really needed, it’s easy to add that symlink.)
Of course it exists!
I thought that whilst bulding things were in a chroot jail where only those things explicitly declared as inputs
actually existed.

Oh right, this one is a good example. I’ll add the symlink.

More precisely, the inputs *and* their run-time dependencies are
available.
For instance, if a package has Coreutils as an input, then its build
process gets both Coreutils and libc in its chroot (otherwise the
Coreutils programs would be unusable.)
