I finally found some time to clean-up my work. This patch is for core-updates branch, and allows bootstrap tarball generation by guix build --target=powerpc-linux-gnu bootstrap-tarballs I think the best way to proceed is integrate this onto core-updates (once reviewed & approved), then generate a bootstrap binaries on hydra, making them available for download on the bootstrap binaries URL. At that point I can update the rest of the powerpc-linux-gnu patches (which use this binaries) with the correct hashes, and send them to the list. As Ludo suggested, I am also preparing a tutorial/blog on the porting process. BR Carlos -- It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then, when luck comes you are ready.
