Done. \o/
With Guile 2.2.4 now released, we can go ahead with 0.15. Could people
build the ISO installation image and give it a try:
guix system disk-image --file-system-type=iso9660 gnu/system/install.scm
and then boot the resulting image (you can do that in QEMU if you
prefer), and follow the instructions.
Likewise, tests of the binary Guix tarball would be welcome. You can
build it with:
make guix-binary.x86_64-linux.tar.xz
For the record, some of the items Ricardo listed are not entirely
addressed either (quoting Ricardo’s previous message):
* Outstanding patches. There are many patches in the queue at
guix-patches[1] that we should go through, comment on, and/or apply
before the release. Who would like to join a task force to do that
together? Let’s pick 5 patches each and review them so that we can
either comment to ask for changes or to apply them.
[1]: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?package=guix-patches
* breakage since the last core-updates merge. Since the long overdue
merge of the “core-updates” branch we have a few serious problems on
i686 (e.g. the gst-plugins-base package) and armhf. Who would like to
lead an effort to investigate and fix these problems? (Note: you
obviously don’t need to fix them yourself, just keep track of these
things and coordinate with others who investigate them.)
* collecting new features and big changes in NEWS. The NEWS file
already lists some of the changes that the next release would provide
compared to 0.14.0, but we all know that there are more. Who would
like to take charge of the NEWS file? This involves asking people for
changes they would really like to be mentioned and coordinating with
other volunteers to search through all commits since v0.14.0 to find
noteworthy changes.
If we all focus on this, we could release by the end of the week or
beginning of next week. Let’s do that! :-)
