[PATCH 0/2] Remove unsupported u-boot-malta package |
Date: |
Fri, 13 Jan 2023 22:05:39 -0500 |
The package was causing issues when migrating the make-u-boot-package
procedure to use Guix's infrastructure for cross-compilation, because Guix
would now attempt to build a cross-compiler for mips64el, which is not
supported per (guix platforms).
Maxim Cournoyer (2):
platforms: Raise an exception when no suitable platform is found.
gnu: Remove u-boot-malta.

The latest version incorporate these changes and use srfi-34/35 as is
currently custom in Guix.
I've now applied it.
