Truly amazing. I just can’t believe it’s become a reality! My thoughts exactly, and very nice to hear you say it too! >> Starting from an 357-byte hex0 provided by the new bootstrap-seeds package, >> the new stage0-posix package builds hex0, kaem, hex1, catm, hex2, M0, cc_x86, >> M1, M2, get_machine, (mescc-tools), and M2-Planet.

Sure! > I haven’t checked but if you confirm that ‘guix build coreutils’ or > similar passes Re-confirming this now, "already" up to... building /gnu/store/1kj9y2qkd7nc7jhyfa0ywqkbmbv4a8ki-gcc-mesboot-4.9.4.drv... > (and that the output of ‘guix build coreutils -s powerpc64le -d’, for > example, is unaffected), Ah that's a nice trick. No changes! $ ./pre-inst-env guix build coreutils -s powerpc64le-linux -d /gnu/store/rsg7k7rih8giz2a3gbd281ygzixzg5yn-coreutils-8.32.drv > this can go on ‘core-updates’. OK. I have reset wip-full-source-bootstrap and will send a v3 patch series. We probably want to think about/change the actual mirror spell "mirror://gnu/guix/mirror/" (?) to use (see other mails). > Please add “gnu:” as a prefix to the commit log of patches that modify > gnu/packages/*. Done. >> 4 files changed, 315 insertions(+), 308 deletions(-) > > And on top of that, it comes almost for free in terms of lines of code > on our side. :-) Yeah, what a bonus. The thing is that stage0-posix includes mescc-tools and m2-planet; we were expecting at least two extra packages... > One last thing: *thank you*. Thank you for bringing it to completion, > for never giving up in the face of a mountain of challenges of all > sorts; thank you for inspiring us! Thats really great to hear, it means a lot to me. I'm very grateful for all your support in this journey and for Guix, that presented me with a beautiful piece of code to play with and prototype the bootstraps. And also, many thanks for the opportunity to stepwise introduce these changes. Time to start thinking about the next big step for bootstrappable! Greetings, Janneke

Woohoo! Thank you for dedicating lots of your energy to this noble cause! :-) I'll try to enjoy the finer details when I have a chance but... a blog post could be nice to shine a light on this amazing achievement! Thank you, and happy continuation! Maxim

Thanks for your appreciation, that means a lot to me! It's been quite some work and also a lot of fun, most of the time ;). And it feels very good when the work is so welcomed. I am grateful for having the opportunity to work on this, and Guix makes it so easy! There will definately be a blog-post; I have already started to work on it. I think it's probably best to time it after core-utils has been merged into master, when "guix pull; guix system init .." actually installs a system built from 357 bytes. > Thank you, and happy continuation! Very welcome, thanks, Janneke
