Fixed, on the build page (we can’t really do that on the build log): https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/guix-cuirass.git/commit/?id=be79b1e4067a029dbe84d88dc6731a8a2a70db32 It was easy to do because Cuirass already keeps track of that. However, Cuirass keeps track of the “worker” that was used, not the machine. A “worker” is essentially a fiber in the ‘cuirass remote-worker’ process, with a temporary random name; when the worker goes away, we become unable to map it back to the machine it belonged to (I think). Which means we’ll lose that info eventually. (Now the whole point of normalized build environments is that knowing which machine was used should rarely matter.) Thanks, Ludo’.
