I do hope that we manage to get a better workflow. "make builds work" sounds easier than it turns out in practice: for example, at the current point of time, GUB-made 64bit MacOSX builds are not feasible since we'd need to change to some OpenDarwin base to even have a chance. That will actually not be significantly different when switching to a Guix-based build as has been proposed: the native MacOSX SDK licenses just prohibit execution on a non-Mac computer, regardless of the build environment. I am cautiously optimistic that we'll be able to get out 2.20.0 soonish and 2.21.0 afterwards. I am more fuzzy about what that spells for building 2.20.1 should that become necessary. -- David Kastrup
