Actually we still have a couple of build failures, some test failures, and
the
commit messages are not conformant to the policy. Currently making the few
remainig
failures work should be the primary task. I will check the details.
I already have an integration branch where I reorder commits and make
commit messages conform.
It would also be nice, if you could review the patches already sent to
guix-patches.
They are tagged [PATCH core-updates]. I guess we are waiting for the next
core-updates cycle, until then
these will not be pushed.

These are the backwards compatible changes collected so far.
Soon I will add the fix for the antlr3 bootstrap toolchain.

Current issues:

https://github.com/Boskovits/guix/issues/61
I'm will contact upstream to check if this issue is serious.
Will cc to you.

https://github.com/Boskovits/guix/issues/58
I will have a look at this once more.
I've already solved two similar issues, I guess I can cope with this.

https://github.com/Boskovits/guix/issues/57
I'm not sure about this one.
I can try to check upstream if this is a problem on their site, but it
seems not.
It seems that some zeromq calls fail.
Can this be related to our build container?

https://github.com/Boskovits/guix/issues/56
I haven't looked into this one yet.

https://github.com/Boskovits/guix/issues/55
I intend to remove this package if
axoloti-patcher works with the current version.
I did not do this yet, because the
java-simple-xml issue also blocks axoloti-patcher,
so I could not check yet if the current version is ok.

The remaining five issues are the packages from
the covering of icedtea7 that do not build.
The rest does build.

I don't know if we have any more issues between the
marked problems and these five packages.
