Hello,
We are pleased to announce the release of GNU Mes 0.20, representing
147 commits over 38 weeks.
Mes has now brought the Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap to Guix (bootstrap
a GNU/Linux system without binary GNU toolchain or equivalent). It
should land in Guix master any day now: a big thank you to everyone who
helped, notably Ludovic and Mark.
This release is a step towards the upcoming Scheme-only bootstrap and
bringing Mes into NixOS and Debian. This effort is now sponsored by
NLnet[12].
Next targets:
- ARM support
- Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap for ARM
- Scheme-only bootstrap: use Guile and Gash to remove bash,
coreutils&co, grep, sed, etc. from the Guix bootstrap binaries
- mes-m2: port Mes.c to M2-Planet
- Introduce Reduced Binaries Seed bootstrap to NixOS
- Debian?
- Hurd
