Planning for 0.8.2

[Ludovic Courtès]

It’s about time to prepare for 0.8.2.  Here’s what I think should be
completed by then:

  • ‘wip-build-systems-gexp’ merged in ‘core-updates’, although if that
    turns out to involve more work than expected, I’m happy to delay it
    until the next release.

  • New phase to validate NEEDED against RUNPATH (see
    <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=20039#11>; we're
    almost there.)

  • ‘guix publish’ merged in (I think it's ready now, right?)

  • ‘guix import hackage’ and ‘haskell-build-system’.

  • LibreOffice (anyone?), Hydra(?).

  • Addressing the bug reports that have accumulated since the last
    release.  Many are packaging and usability issues that are easily
    addressed, I think.  I invite everyone to look at them.  A bug fix a
    day, keeps the doctor away!

Anything else?  What do people think?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
