Hi Julien,

agreed, though rather than being non-free the issue is more of being opaque as we shouldn't trust what's inside.

There's documentation on how to build one based on Lineage OS. [1]

Do you think if LineageOS would build the Waydroid image as another device it would be acceptable for Guix to download the artifact directly? [2]

Also how's the bionic library going?

That sounds good to me. We could have a default, though we must at least make sure we don't advertise for a non-free image.

Concerning my own work, I'm currently trying to build some base system libraries. I managed to get a working cross-compiler for x86_64-linux-android, and I managed to cross-build a couple libraries. I'm hopeful I'll be able to build bionic (android's libc) by the end of the week, then a complete cross toolchain that will help build the rest of the system.

Regarding the Waydroid (Android) image.

We are currently unable to build the whole image due to the issues
summarized by Julien Lepiller on the 10 Years of Guix. Thanks for the
presentation! [1]

However, there is project in Nix that allows to build the image. [2]

Would it be possible to use that instead of the one hardcoded in
Waydroid?
IIUC you would have to translate the nix packages there into guix
packages, assuming there's a 1:1 translation (which might not be the
case since everything's just a derivation in Nix). You also have to
take into account different quality guidelines between Guix and Nix –
Guix tends to be more stringent.

Since it's possible to specify the URLs via command line, how about
simply removing the defaults and making the respective command line
options required for the time being?

Cheers
