When we said we=E2=80=99d try to release 1.0 for FOSDEM, we were talking ab= out FOSDEM *2019*, which is well over now, so I think we need to get our act together and complete the remaining tasks for 1.0. :-) Looking at the plus my own memories, here are work items that still need to be addressed: =E2=80=A2 The graphical installer has been merged (yay!) but we still nee= d to discuss it in the manual and to test it some more. =E2=80=A2 The installer should be changed to produce the right =E2=80=98initrd-modules=E2=80=99 field, using the same mechanism used by =E2=80=98check-device-initrd-modules=E2=80=99. =E2=80=A2 The story about grafts and displaying upfront what=E2=80=99s go= ing to be built is not fixed yet. I=E2=80=99ve been toying with the build continuations but nothing conclusive yet. I=E2=80=99ve also thought ab= out quick hacks instead but nothing concrete either. =E2=80=A2 IPv6 support in =E2=80=98static-networking-service=E2=80=99: as= discussed at the Guix Days, we=E2=80=99ll probably need to Linux Netlink sockets to do t= hat rather than the old ioctls currently used in (guix build syscalls). The netlink interface for network config is vaguely documented at . Writing bindings for =E2=80=98sendmsg=E2=80=99 and the associated data = structures looks reasonable=E2=80=A6 it just needs to be done. =E2=80=A2 GDM works well for GNOME and WMs that provide a .session file. However it still doesn=E2=80=99t honor ~/.xsession. We discussed it be= fore and dropped the ball. Timothy, what=E2=80=99s missing? I=E2=80=99d re= ally like to make it the default. =E2=80=A2 GDM=E2=80=99s closure is 1.3=C2=A0GiB, we should do something a= bout it. =E2=80=A2 I think we should add =E2=80=98guix install=E2=80=99, =E2=80=98= guix remove=E2=80=99, and =E2=80=98guix upgrade=E2=80=99. =E2=80=A2 =E2=80=9CGuixSD=E2=80=9D has been removed from the web site and= from almost all of the source code. Still need to fix the file names that appear in Makefile.am. =E2=80=A2 Work for guix.gnu.org is on its way thanks to Julien, hopefully= done soon. If you=E2=80=99re interesting in tackling a specific issue, please share. = Let=E2=80=99s all tackle these so we can finally reach that milestone and celebrate! Ludo=E2=80=99.
