Hey! I think the last thread I started on this topic was all the way back in August [1].
1: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-08/msg00001.html Building on the feedback there, I've got two threads of work in mind for the start of this year. Firstly, work on getting data from the data service about patch series and branches out to places where it's useful. Several ideas came up in [1], I think all of them need doing/trying. The patch testing setup centred around [2] is operating again, and at least producing information on lint warnings and affected packages, so work can proceed on trying to make use of that information. 2: https://patches.guix-patches.cbaines.net/project/guix-patches/list/ The second thread of work is to get builds happening again and populating the data service with information. While there's the option to setup a separate build coordinator instance as before, I first want to get the bordeaux.guix.gnu.org build farm building things from patches and non-master branches. I think the main prerequisite for this changing the data.guix-patches.cbaines.net to data.qa.guix.gnu.org (or something similar, just so it's a stable URL). Once that has happened, the agents can be configured to support fetching derivations from data.qa.guix.gnu.org as well as data.guix.gnu.org. I'm hoping to start working on this within the next week or two. Let me know if you have any thoughts or questions! Thanks, Chris
