Subject: GNU Mes 0.25 released
|
||||
|
||||
<#secure method=pgpmime mode=sign>
|
||||
|
||||
We are happy to announce the release of GNU Mes 0.25!
|
||||
|
||||
Although it's been only nine months since the previous release, this
|
||||
release represents 116 commits over two years by six people. This
|
||||
release brings RISC-V64-linux support.
|
||||
|
||||
We are excited that the NLnet Foundation is sponsoring this work!
|
||||
|
||||
What's next?
|
||||
|
||||
Bringing the Full Source Bootstrap to NixOS. Full Guile compatible
|
||||
module support, and support for running Gash and Gash-Utils. Support
|
||||
for bootstrapping gcc-4.6.4, and a Full Source Bootstrap for
|
||||
armhf-linux, and riscv64-linux.
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!
|
||||
|
||||
* About
|
||||
|
||||
GNU Mes is a Scheme interpreter and C compiler for bootstrapping the
|
||||
GNU System. It has helped to decimate the number and size of binary
|
||||
seeds that were used in the bootstrap of GNU Guix 1.0. Recently,
|
||||
version 0.24.2 has realized the first Full Source Bootstrap for Guix
|
||||
<https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2023/the-full-source-bootstrap-building-from-source-all-the-way-down/>.
|
||||
The final goal is to help create a full source bootstrap as part of
|
||||
the bootstrappable builds effort <https://bootstrappable.org> for any
|
||||
UNIX-like operating system.
|
||||
|
||||
Mes + MesCC + Mes C Library can build a bootstrappable TinyCC
|
||||
<https://gitlab.com/janneke/tinycc> that is self-hosting. Using this
|
||||
bootstrappable-tcc and the Mes C library we can build an ancient
|
||||
version of the GNU tools triplet: glibc-2.2.5, binutils-2.20.1,
|
||||
gcc-2.95.3. This is enough to bootstrap Guix for i686-linux,
|
||||
x86_64-linux, armhf-linux and aarch64-linux.
|
||||
|
||||
Mes was inspired by The Maxwell Equations of Software: LISP-1.5 --
|
||||
John McCarthy page 13, Guix's source/binary packaging transparency and
|
||||
Jeremiah Orians's Stage0 <https://github.com/oriansj/stage0>, a
|
||||
~500-byte self-hosting hex assembler.
|
||||
|
||||
* Download
|
||||
|
||||
git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/mes.git
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]:
|
||||
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mes/mes-0.25.tar.gz
|
||||
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mes/mes-0.25.tar.gz.sig
|

Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
|
||||

|
||||
https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/mes/mes-0.25.tar.gz.sig
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the SHA1 and SHA256 checksums:
|
||||
|
||||
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mes-0.25.tar.gz
|
||||
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mes-0.25.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
|
||||
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file
|
||||
and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:
|
||||
|
||||
gpg --verify mes-0.25.tar.gz.sig
|
||||
|
||||
If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
|
||||
or that public key has expired, try the following commands to update
|
||||
or refresh it, and then rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
|
||||
|
||||
gpg --recv-keys 1A858392E331EAFDB8C27FFBF3C1A0D9C1D65273
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, Mes can be installed or updated using Guix:
|
||||
|
||||
guix pull
|
||||
guix install mes
|
||||

|
||||
* Changes in 0.25 since 0.24.2
|
||||
|
||||
** Core
|
||||
*** Support for riscv64-linux.
|
||||
** Build
|
||||
*** Support M2-Planet build for x86_64-linux.
|
||||
*** Building with M2-Planet-1.11.0 is now supported.
|
||||
*** The requirement for M2-Planet's --bootstrap-mode was dropped.
|
||||
** Noteworthy bug fixes
|
||||
*** In the REPL, `include', `load', and `,use MODULE' now work.
|
||||
*** Using mes' `access' with R_OK now respects read permissions.
|
||||
*** On 64bit, displayed values are no longer truncated.
|
||||
*** On 64bit, MesCC now correctly supports 8-byte immediate values.
|
||||
*** MesCC now initializes struct fields to 0.
|
||||
*** The MesCC test suite passes with gcc >= 10
|
||||
An array overflow bug was fixed in `63-struct-cell.c'.
