Hi! On my core-updates @gitlab (https://gitlab.com/janneke/guix.git) I have a couple of patches.
This patch set has two main features: do not use %bootstrap-guile (no %fake-bootstrap? any more -- in fact that has been removed) but use %bootstrap-mes instead (we did this at R-B), and also: update to Mes 0.19 which gives us a /much/ better performance. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 52c475a606 bootstrap: srfi-43: Remove. b051bfa770 bootstrap: tcc-boot0: Update for mes 0.19. 1f60cebe7e bootstrap: mes-boot: Update for mes 0.19. 986e982884 bootstrap: bootstrap-mes: Update. ef809e3ac0 bootstrap: Add mes-boot0; decouple mes-boot from Mes. 20dd94b82f bootstrap: Merge mes-minimal into mes-minimal-stripped. c994177155 gnu: mes: Update to 0.19. 9c14fd0770 bootstrap: Remove development hacks. b3bf38a560 doc: Update mesboot graph without bootstrap-guile. cdd3bcf038 bootstrap: Do not fake, use Mes instead of Guile. f8067e0329 bootstrap: bootstrap-mes: Update. 464baaf735 gnu: mes: Update to a155a0a9a2d941b15c1b98e5cce787de40a8dacd. efa1ea20e6 bootstrap: mes-minimal-stripped: Do not strip bin. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Ricardo and I created the first three (do not strip bin + update).

I'd be happy if you would rewrite commit --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 986e982884 bootstrap: bootstrap-mes: Update. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- but we can also add a `substitute official bootstrap urls' commit later. I hope we'll not see many Mes updates real soon and aim for the next release to be Mes-1.0, built with M2-Planet. I do plan on getting a bootstrap-gash in some time soon, hopefully within a month or so.
