Subject: GNU Mes 0.23 released
<#secure method=pgpmime mode=sign>
We are happy to announce the release of GNU Mes 0.23, representing 125
commits over one year by four people.
Mes was ported to ARM and can now be used in the GNU Guix Reduced Binary
Seed bootstrap as described here
https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/guix-further-reduces-bootstrap-seed-to-25/
and now also for armhf-linux and aarch-linux. Work to integrate this
into Guix is ongoing: tinycc and gcc-core-2.95.3 have been built.
We are excited that the Nlnet Foundation is now sponsoring this work!
Enjoy,
Janneke and Danny.
* About
GNU Mes[0] is a Scheme interpreter and C compiler for bootstrapping the
GNU System. Since version 0.22 it has again helped to halve the size of
opaque, uninspectable binary seeds that are currently being used in the
Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap[1] of GNU Guix[2]. The final goal is to
help create a full source bootstrap as part of the bootstrappable
builds[3] effort for UNIX-like operating systems.
The Scheme interpreter is written in ~5,000 LOC of simple C, and the C
compiler written in Scheme and these are mutual self-hosting. This
mes.c is now being simplified to be transpiled by M2-Planet[4].
Mes has a Garbage Collector, a library of loadable Scheme modules--
notably Dominique Boucher's LALR[5], Pre-R6RS portable syntax-case[6]
with R7RS ellipsis, Matt Wette's Nyacc[7] --and test suite, just
enough to support a REPL and a C99 compiler: mescc.
Mes+MesCC can compile an only lightly patched TinyCC[8] that is
self-hosting. Using this tcc and the Mes C library we now have a
Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap for the gnutools 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 is inspired by The Maxwell Equations of Software: LISP-1.5[9] -- John
McCarthy page 13, GNU Guix's source/binary packaging transparency and
Jeremiah Orians's stage0[10] ~500 byte self-hosting hex assembler.
We are very grateful to NLNet for sponsoring the Reduced Binary Seed
bootstrap[11] and the ARM port[12].

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:
