Oh, I was just working on yesterday's new release of tar (1.29). I guess it will wait for the next cycle?

Sorry for the top-post...

Subject: Freezing core-updates

Hello Guix!

I hereby declare ‘core-updates’ frozen!  :-)

That is, we should now work towards fixing the “core” packages, then make
Hydra build everything, fix packages, and finally merge it.  I invite
you all to spend a bit of time on it, it’s fun and profitable.  :-)

Currently, the main problem is a frightening GCC 5.3 build issue on ARM:
<https://hydra.gnu.org/build/1201428/nixlog/1/tail-reload>:

Can someone with an ARM machine reproduce it?  I wonder if it could be a
hardware failure.

See <https://hydra.gnu.org/jobset/gnu/core-updates> for more.
