Hello Guix!

Since I’m about to leave keyboard for a couple of weeks, here’s a to-do
list for those of you who’ll be around.  :-)

The last things I wanted to push for ‘core-updates’ were a reproducible
Guile (done in b5efd14a9add1bcb4a44fa5b9c1b47706f3df9da), and a subset
or all of the aarch64 patches, depending on their status (should not be
a blocker IMO).

So, here’s a plan:

  • Once Efraim has pushed some of the aarch64 patches, do another
    evaluation of the “core” package set for that branch, and check for
    anything wrong.  From there on, forbid full-rebuild changes.

  • Once the “core” subset builds correctly on all the supported
    platforms (those that Hydra supports), merge ‘master’.  Maybe update
    a couple of things like GnuTLS while we’re at it.  From there on
    forbid non-trivial changes.

  • Build all the packages.  (To do that, someone with access to Hydra
    must change the “subset” argument to “all” in the config of the
    ‘core-updates’ jobset.)

  • Fix things.

  • Once most regressions have been addressed and most binaries are
    available, merge ‘core-updates’ into ‘master’.

How does that sound?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Guix,

The core-updates branch is now (almost!) ready for prime time.

This is turning out to be one of the biggest merges ever[*], currently
representing 433 commits from 15 people, with commits dating back to
September last year(!).

Some of the highlights from this branch include:

* jannekes long-awaited new reduced binary seeds for i686 and x86_64
* GCC7 is now the default compiler
* The 'CMake' package comes with full documentation
* OpenSSL 1.1 is now the default 'openssl' package
* GNOME 3.30
* glibc 2.29, binutils 2.32, gettext 0.20, bash 5.0.7, gawk 5.0.1, ...

To give everyone a little time to brush up any last-minute patches, as
well as let the CI catch up with 'master' and 'staging', I suggest we
set a final date for starting the full CI build on *July 9th*, i.e six
days from now.  At which point the branch becomes bugfix-only, no new
updates or features.

July 9th incidentally gives us just enough time to get Python 3.7.4 too,
which comes with desirable security and OpenSSL 1.1 compatibility fixes.

Thoughts?

[*] counting only merges to 'master'

Hello Guix!

The 'core-updates' branch is now in a "feature freeze" after a long ...
thawing period.  That means that there will be no more world rebuilding
changes apart from bug fixes[*].

It is expected to start the full rebuild in a few days once the
bootstrap is complete on AArch64 and ARMv7, which are unfortunately
lacking in compute power at the moment (side note: if you have hardware
to spare, consider donating!).

The branch currently represents 676 commits by 26 people.  Some
highlights from this round:

* Guix runs natively on GNU/Hurd.
* Guix System can be cross-compiled for foreign architectures.
* The distribution is built with Guile 3.0.
* GNOME 3.34 (on a separate branch, will get merged shortly).

Significant package updates:

* glibc 2.31
* Python 3.8.2
* Ruby 2.6.5
* TeX Live 2019

Other changes that may require adjusting third-party channels:

* "libjpeg" has been deprecated in favor of "libjpeg-turbo".
* "util-linux" gained a "lib" output for significant size savings.
* Build systems now set C_INCLUDE_PATH and CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH instead of
  CPATH.
* Any package that uses libcurl now respects SSL_CERT_DIR and
  SSL_CERT_FILE.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this branch.  Let the rebuilds
begin!

[*] There are problems with OpenSSL 1.1.1e and we might take on 1.1.1f
if it is released before the full rebuild starts:
