I suggest that we release 0.9.1 as soon as we get less than 2 kernel panic reports per day! (Just kidding.) Seriously, I think we should be aiming for a release by the end of the month. Here a few rather low-hanging fruits that I think we should address: =E2=80=A2 Have a GNOME meta-package, or a =E2=80=98%gnome-packages=E2=80= =99 variable, or something like that. We should provide an example of how to get a GNOME setup. I think several of you have that already. =E5=AE=8B=E6= =96=87=E6=AD=A6? =E2=80=A2 Proper =E2=80=98package-with-python2=E2=80=99 (see .) It just needs more testing and adjusting existing packages (fewer lines of code, yay!). =E2=80=A2 There are several bugs reports open regarding container-related= test failures. I think we should make sure they are addressed and close them. David? =E2=80=A2 The nscd issue in the installer image: . I=E2=80=99ll try to reproduce it in a VM and debug from there. =E2=80=A2 Incorporate root-encryption fixes ()= and documentation by Petter. Petter and Albin, among others, are already using an encrypted-root setup AIUI, so it=E2=80=99s =E2=80=9Cju= st a matter=E2=80=9D of consolidating it. See also . =E2=80=A2 The =E2=80=98guile@1.8=E2=80=99 syntax patch. Mathieu? =E2=80=A2 Possibly the GitHub updater, which seemed pretty much ready. B= en? Anything else? I think we should all focus on these tasks and other bugs at (help on bug triage is welcome!). It may be that I won=E2=80=99t be able to handle this release myself because I=E2=80=99ll soon be busy for family reasons. :-) I think it=E2=80=99s a = great opportunity to try and delegate to someone else (I have a few potential victims in mind that I need to contact ;-)). The whole process is documented in =E2=80=98doc/release.org=E2=80=99 in guix-maintenance.git and= hopefully intelligible. Ludo=E2=80=99.
