The short version: * We need a tagged release so we can update the version in Debian and other distros, in CI systems, etc. * We need a newer point-in-time for the installer. * A new release increases interest in the project. I've opened bug #76098 with a couple of patches but I figured it would be better if I wrote here instead. In the process toward a new release I took a look at the 'release' make target and the release.scm manifest to start. In the Makefile: * Added riscv64-linux as a supported system * switch the assert-binaries-available make target we've used previously to make sure we have substitutes for a base set of packages to point to the installer manifest. If the purpose of the installer is to install and then everyone expected to run `guix pull` then we need the packages from the installer. release.scm: I don't have a real good use for this manifest currently, but I've made some changes anyway: * %base-packages already existed in (gnu system), and that seemed like a good list of packages that we would need. This increased the list of packages. * %system-packages: The note mentioned the installer, so I copied the work I did on the installer.scm to this list. This also increased the list of packages. installer.scm: A manifest which only checks that we have substitutes for what can be installed using the TUI installer (assuming no extra added items). It differs from the GUIX_SYSTEM_INSTALLER_SYSTEM variable in the Makefile by including aarch64 as an architecture. Ideally all the packages should compile, which would allow someone to run the installer successfully for x86_64-linux, i686-linux or aarch64-linux. Currently everything is in one big manifest, but I think it would be better if we didn't do that, which would allow anyone to try to build the manifest only on architectures they are interested in/able to fix. Then we could (using the cuirass interface) set which architectures to try to build the manifest. cross-compile.scm: Ideally all the packages one would need to produce an OS image for another architecture we support, or the same %base-packages for other architectures we have. Currently it only tests from x86_64-linux. Ideally I'd like to see the installer.scm and cross-compile.scm manifests added to Cuirass. I'd hope we could keep 100% build on installer.scm so we can actually offer all the options in the installer, and the cross-compile.scm manifest might need to be split so we can focus on cross-compiling an OS config vs cross-compiling binaries for another architecture. diff --git a/Makefile.am b/Makefile.am index de884548188..ad8bb907515 100644 --- a/Makefile.am +++ b/Makefile.am @@ -1070,7 +1070,7 @@ SOURCE_TARBALLS = \ # Systems supported by Guix.
