Hey Ludo, > fe563a87ad gnu: texinfo, info-reader: Do not run tests when cross-compiling.

Yes and I think that for some reason we are not detecting the installation device properly. However, as I cannot reproduce it, we would need to find someone kind enough to run an instrumented installer to understand this issue. We can also add a few traces to the syslog and fix this issue later on, depending on our schedule. Thanks, Mathieu

Yesterday on IRC we discussed an installer crash received at dump.guix.gnu.org. Did you or will you have time to look into it? I should be able to prepare and upload RC2 sometime between Thursday and Sunday. Now’s the time to report and fix installation problems! Ludo’.

I can handle the next release > candidate or the release itself, but I’ll be unavailable on Dec. 12–15. I noticed that we have failing tests on the version-1.4.0-tests specification. - docker-system (https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/215380/details) - prosody (https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/215424/details) that fail both on Berlin and on my machine and, - fail2ban-extension (https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/215447/details) that only fails on Berlin. There is also an issue with the system images. The following images are failing on Berlin: - novena-barebones-raw-image (https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/215363/details) - pine64-barebones-raw-image (https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/215361/details) - pinebook-pro-barebones-raw-image (https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/215362/details) It seems that those failures are caused by an issue during info-reader build. I cannot reproduce it locally though. Having an RC2 with all the tests passing and images buildable could be nice. On the other hand, I don't have much bandwidth to fix those issues and they should not prevent us from releasing I guess. Mathieu

I agree it is an interesting read and it appears to me worth for communicating. :-) It could be published “as is“ or could be a bit polished by proofreaders (people behind the alias guix-b...@gnu.org; which includes myself :-)).

Maxim, WDYT? It's already mentioned in the NEWS which will land in the announcement emails, at least. We could mention that despite removing 500+ Python 2 packages, our collection has grown from X to Y ;-). I'll see if I can squeeze some extra bits in before the release. -- Thanks, Maxim

Release progress, week 8
Hello Guix! Release progress: week 8. Apologies for not sending this one on time this Thursday; instead we got RC1, which is nice. :-) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2022-12/msg0.html The RC was made from ‘version-1.4.0’ branch, which only takes important fixes now (if in doubt, please ask). Now we need reports from users to act upon. I’d say we can decide next week whether we need an RC2 or not. I can handle the next release candidate or the release itself, but I’ll be unavailable on Dec. 12–15. I started writing super long release notes (a book!), comments welcome: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/guix-artwork.git/tree/website/drafts/gnu-guix-1.4.0-released.md Comments? Suggestions?
