Perl should be straight forward, considering it would've been a normal
graft except for the version string part. Unless you're refering to
starting the rebuilds further down the tree.

I think it’s OK for sqlite/glib/cmake, but changing Perl would further
delay things, which perhaps is not desirable.

It took me a couple of days to reply :-), so maybe we can start the
evaluation now?

We can also get berlin to build all of ‘core-updates’ if we want.

Thanks,

No objections from me.  However I do have a bunch of fairly innocent
updates in my queue, such as SQLite, Glib and CMake.  It's also tempting
to get rid of that Perl graft.  Is it too late for such changes?

Hydra will be busy for a couple of days with 'master' and 'staging', so
there's little use in starting it immediately.

I agree.  There was an issue with cross-compiling ‘bootstrap-tarballs’
that Marius reported a few days ago, which I’m looking into right now.
I don’t expect the fix(es) to trigger a full rebuild.

If Marius and others don’t object, I’d say go for it!

Thanks,

Successfully running GNOME on core-updates + staging

[Mark H Weaver]

Hello Guix,

I've successfully updated my x86_64 GuixSD system to my private branch
based on 'core-updates' with recent 'master' and 'staging' merged into
it.  This system includes a full GNOME desktop environment plus a few
programs based on Qt.  It all works quite well.

My branch includes a few draft fixes and workarounds that I haven't yet
pushed, but nothing that would require many rebuilds to update later.

So, I think it might be time to ask Hydra to build all of core-updates,
after staging is merged into it.

What do you think?
