Ok, I see. Has anybody tested that guix pull from 0.15 -> 0.16 works on an install ISO? (I don't know if we want/agreed to support this at all but 1 bug suggests problems related to https: ) I say go for release and note it on the download page and provide 0.15-i686 image for now. I'm using i686 GuixSD on my devlaptop. -- Cheers Swedebugia
