So far so good #Python 3.11 is stabilising in #Guix.

Rebuild the world, and fix all rough edges after ^20620/v6259

Even packaged NumPy 2 the latest draft! No tests due to some Heisenbug in vendored-meson, why...

@sharlatan Why such a old version and not newest 3.13?

Many scientific packages will drop support for 3.11 later this year:

@hugovk Thank you for sharing, it depends on volunteers availability to process updates of failing dependency. #Guix maintains a reproducible graph starting from a minimal seed up to leaves, which brings light and dark sides.

Some issues may occur when upstream changes the build procedures dramatically - example is #NumPy which introduced a custom #Meson variant, 2.2.2 failing on check phase.

Plan is to stabilise all builds after swap default Python and stark preparing for the next iteration

@sharlatan Volunteer time, the most precious of gifts! Well, 3.11 is still much preferred than, say, 3.7 or even 2.7 :)
