Hello, just a quick update after a night of building on CI. Things look generally quite good on x86_64; some things are being rebuilt due to the recent wget update, and that should hopefully also sort out i686 rather quickly.

Python probably is the place where work is needed most, the strip in the dashboard looks like it has measles. Fixing one package there could bring us a long way (or not - we are in plain hand resolution of dependency problems there, one update could also hide another one). Sometimes it is just a matter of trying an update to see whether a package and its dependents build, so even someone who knows nothing about Python, but has a web browser pointed at https://pypi.org/, can do some useful work (I am speaking from experience). > - ghc is taking a long time... This is a real nightmare. [email protected] on x86_64 has been building for 6 hours in a row: https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/984270/details and we need to build many versions one after the other during bootstrapping. While not blocking the core-updates merge, maybe the ghc team can try and see whether we can cut corners. Or maybe drop tests on intermediate versions that are only required for bootstrapping? On aarch64 and powerpc, we are still stuck by CI problems. Andreas
