Add mes and mescc-tools-extra
mescc-tools-extra contains two important tools: - cp - chmod mes first builds itself from a mes 0.21 seed as used by guix, and then builds a mes 0.22 and then mes 0.22 using that created mes 0.22. It does /not/ use bootstrap.sh as we don't have a proper shell at this point, it has been manually adapted for kaem.

Subject: GNU Mes 0.21 released
|
||||
|
||||
<#secure method=pgpmime mode=sign>
|
||||
|
||||
We are pleased to announce the release of GNU Mes 0.21, representing
|
||||
54 commits over 10 weeks.
|
||||
|
||||
Mes has now brought the Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap to Guix (bootstrap
|
||||
a GNU/Linux system without binary GNU toolchain or equivalent). See
|
||||
https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/guix-reduces-bootstrap-seed-by-50/
|
||||
|
||||
This release supports a Scheme-only bootstrap: Mes can now be built with
|
||||
Gash and the experimental Gash Core Utils instead of using GNU Awk, GNU
|
||||
Bash, the GNU Core Utilities, GNU Grep, GNU Gzip, GNU Make, GNU SED, and
|
||||
GNU Tar. Also, the Mes C Library now supports bootstrapping those.
|
||||
Finally, this release brings Mes as a package to Debian GNU/Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
We are excited that the Nlnet Foundation[12] is now sponsoring this
|
||||
work!
|
||||
|
||||
Next targets:
|
||||
|
||||
- Introduce the Reduced Binaries Seed bootstrap to NixOS (Debian,
|
||||
Gentoo, ...?)
|
||||
- Scheme-only bootstrap: use Guile, Gash and Gash Core Utils to remove
|
||||
awk, bash, core utilities, grep, gzip, make, sed, tar, etc. from the
|
||||
Guix bootstrap binaries
|
||||
- ARM support
|
||||
- Full Source Bootstrap: compile Mes.c using M2-Planet
|
||||
- Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap for ARM
|
||||
- the Hurd
|
||||
|
||||
Packages are available in Guix master.
|
||||
|
||||
* About
|
||||
|
||||
GNU Mes[0] brings a Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap[1] to GNU Guix[2].
|
||||
This bootstrap has halved the size of opaque, uninspectable binaries
|
||||
that were needed to bootstrap Guix 1.0. The final goal is to help
|
||||
create a full source bootstrap as part of the bootstrappable builds[3]
|
||||
effort for any interested UNIX-like operating system.
|
||||
|
||||
Mes consists of a mutual self-hosting Scheme interpreter written in
|
||||
~5,000 LOC of simple C, and a C compiler written in Scheme. This
|
||||
mes.c is being simplified[4] to be transpiled by M2-Planet[5].
|
||||
|
||||
The Scheme interpreter has a Garbage Collector, a library of loadable
|
||||
Scheme modules-- notably Dominique Boucher's LALR[6], Pre-R6RS
|
||||
[portable syntax-case[7] with R7RS ellipsis, Matt Wette's Nyacc[8]
|
||||
--and test suite, just enough to support a REPL and a C99 compiler:
|
||||
MesCC.
|
||||
|
||||
Mes+MesCC can compile an only lightly patched TinyCC[9] 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 and x86_64-linux.
|
||||
|
||||
Mes is inspired by The Maxwell Equations of Software: LISP-1.5[10] -- John
|
||||
McCarthy page 13, GNU Guix's source/binary packaging transparency and
|
||||
Jeremiah Orians's stage0[11] ~500 byte self-hosting hex assembler.

[*] 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-0.21.tar.gz.sig
|
||||
|
||||
If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
|
||||
then run this command to import it:
|
||||
|
||||
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 1A858392E331EAFDB8C27FFBF3C1A0D9C1D65273
|
||||
|
||||
and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
