The next step will be to have a nix expression for all the GNU packages (and any necessary dependencies) that we can use to compile the "GNU Source Release Collection" and check that it all works together. We can continue this discussion on [email protected] as the installation on fencepost is part of the bootstrapping for that. p.s. I will be leaving for the GNU Hackers Meeting at LibrePlanet in Boston on Wednesday so I might not be answering my mail for a few days.
