Toward 0.2

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi!

I think we should plan for 0.2 within a month or so.  Here are the
important features I’d like to see in:

  • ‘guix pull’ (see TODO; I’ve started working on that);

  • a simple “binary substituter”, which would allow pre-built binaries
    to be transparently downloaded from trusted source, such as
    hydra.gnu.org (I also have unfinished code locally);

  • core updates

    - install glibc locale data;
    - install glibc timezone data;
    - merge mips64 branch;
    - items under “guix build utils” in TODO;
    - core software updates;

Optionally (beware of priority inversion!):

  • cross-compilation support (again, I have unfinished stuff around!);

  • Xorg & co. packaged (Andreas? :-));

  • auto-updater for GNU packages (based on my gnupdate in Nixpkgs);

  • package synopses synchronization with the Womb.

Anything else?  Comments?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
