Hello!
I suggest that we release 0.9.1 as soon as we get less than 2 kernel
panic reports per day!
(Just kidding.)
Seriously, I think we should be aiming for a release by the end of the
month. Here a few rather low-hanging fruits that I think we should
address:
• Have a GNOME meta-package, or a ‘%gnome-packages’ variable, or
something like that. We should provide an example of how to get a
GNOME setup. I think several of you have that already. 宋文武?
• Proper ‘package-with-python2’ (see <http://bugs.gnu.org/22437>.)
It just needs more testing and adjusting existing packages (fewer
lines of code, yay!).
• There are several bugs reports open regarding container-related test
failures. I think we should make sure they are addressed and close
them. David?
• The nscd issue in the installer image: <http://bugs.gnu.org/22209>.
I’ll try to reproduce it in a VM and debug from there.
• Incorporate root-encryption fixes (<http://bugs.gnu.org/21843>) and
documentation by Petter. Petter and Albin, among others, are
already using an encrypted-root setup AIUI, so it’s “just a matter”
of consolidating it. See also
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2016-01/msg00118.html>.
• The address@hidden syntax patch. Mathieu?
• Possibly the GitHub updater, which seemed pretty much ready. Ben?
Anything else?
I think we should all focus on these tasks and other bugs at
<http://bugs.gnu.org/guix> (help on bug triage is welcome!).
It may be that I won’t be able to handle this release myself because
I’ll soon be busy for family reasons. :-) I think it’s a great
opportunity to try and delegate to someone else (I have a few potential
victims in mind that I need to contact ;-)). The whole process is
documented in ‘doc/release.org’ in guix-maintenance.git and hopefully
intelligible.
