Hi Rutherther, Sounds great! Feel free to add yourself in the release team in etc/teams.scm. This will add you to the @guix/release team on Codeberg which we can use to set as reviewers and ping on pull requests. > > Have you guys already done something in the background, or is this > thread all? > I have not done anything yet, since I’ve been pretty busy playing Hollow Knight: Silksong in my free time.

Other issues and PR that are needed before doing the actual release can be put on it. As for libxml2 I’m sure we have pretty of preparation time and mesa-updates will be merged before the release. Please note that I already created a milestone at <https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/milestone/26686>. > I would also welcome this PR https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/2518 > (I welcome other ideas of cuorse, but I really think this issue with > online check should be resolved so that people can install even if CI > frontend is down) > > Also, was it agreed who the release manager is?

I went ahead and created the first two steps as issues, which you can see on the milestone. Good day, Noé
