How do I know when #Guix has merged the ’core-updates’ branch bringing many package updates? 🤔 when I pause my current tasks and instead fix annoyances. 😀

Emacs: issues.guix.gnu.org/72333#12
Git: issues.guix.gnu.org/73034#1
Another example: @khinsen reported about compressed man-pages.

Since now core-updates is gone, the friction should decrease. 🎉

Still, it opens questions how to merge changes that trigger many rebuilds.

You’ve experience with “merge train”, please share it!

@zimoun The tiny-teensy team that took care of ‘core-updates’ (myself included) did lots of testing, tons of fixing, and put out calls for testing and an advanced notice before the merge.

I think it’s the first time this branch is merged with so few problems detected afterwards.

The Emacs and Git issues are problematic; apparently they could only be detected through regular use, and perhaps individuals didn’t go that far when testing things on their machine before the merge.

@zimoun (Actually, the Emacs ‘transient.el’ issue predates the ‘core-updates’ merge.)

@zimoun Thanks for the info, I was about to debug the transient issue myself! 😃
