Hello,

I just reset wip-hurd-vm to ba6bdb0d0b gnu: guix: Run `make update-guix-pac=
kage'.

Like before, you should be able to run

    ./pre-inst-env guix build -f gnu/system/hurd.scm

on it to get a VM and start it doing something like

    guix environment --ad-hoc qemu -- qemu-system-i386 -enable-kvm \
     -snapshot -hda $(./pre-inst-env guix build -f gnu/system/hurd.scm) -m =
2G \
     -device rtl8139,netdev=3Dnet0 -netdev user,id=3Dnet0,hostfwd=3Dtcp:127=
.0.0.1:10022-:2222

The VM now starts the Shepherd which starts the guix-daemon as well as
an openssh daemon.

root shares the system profile, which has been setup for minimalistic
Guix development.  You can build our first package

    ssh root@localhost -p 10022
    guix build --no-offload -e '(@@ (gnu packages commencement) gnu-make-bo=
ot0)'

and now also do that from git

    git clone gnu:guix
    cd guix
    ./bootstrap
    ./configure --localstatedir=3D/var --sysconfdir=3D/etc --with-courage
    make -j2
    ./pre-inst-env guix build --no-offload -e '(@@ (gnu packages commenceme=
nt) gnu-make-boot0)'

Being able to build packages from git greatly reduces the round-trip
time :-)

The Shepherd integration needs more work.  Also, the tip of that branch
shows some troublesome commits that hack around cross-compiling guix to
the Hurd.

Greetings,
janneke
