Release progress, week 4

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Guix!

Release progress: week 4.

  • ‘make assert-binaries-available’ reports 92.7% coverage (details
    below).  We’re not making much progress.

  • Architectures:

     - i586-gnu: Chris and I fixed core packages (test failures;
       bordeaux.guix is building them and I’ll enable it on ci.guix real
       soon now.

     - armhf-linux: No progress so far.  Chris rightfully points out
       that bordeaux.guix has 100% coverage for these core substitutes.
       Can we arrange so that ci.guix at least builds these core subset
       of packages?

     - aarch64-linux: Rust is now available.  Other than that, similar
       situation: a few substitutes for these core packages are still
       missing on ci.guix (they are on bordeaux.guix) for unclear
       infrastructure reasons.

     - powerpc64le-linux: Only Emacs and Vim are reported as missing on
       ci.guix by ‘make assert-binaries-available’.

  • Installer:

     - Core dumps can now be sent upon crashes:
       <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/58733>.

     - ‘read-partition-uuid’ is called until it succeeds, fixing
       <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/53541>.

     - Guile-Parted crash is being investigated:
       <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/58732>.

     - I’m working on a patch similar to
       <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/58549> to report about unsupported
       devices.

  • Release issue <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/53214> blocked by 6 open
    bugs, down from 9.  Some issues that are still opened are no longer
    considered blocking.

  • Others:

     - Shepherd memory leak still being investigated, with ramifications
       in Fibers and probably in Guile proper:
       <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/58631>.

     - Vagrant updated the ‘guix’ package in Debian:
       <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2022-10/msg00295.html>
