You can follow the RSS stream of CI and watch for new breakage there. There's some info in our doc that says how this can be setup in e.g. Gnus, see (info "(guix) Cuirass Build Notifications"). More drastically, you could have a manifest to build all the packages on demand (many teams already have such a manifest) or even add them to your user profile to notice. All of these options are still subpar compared to a proper CI system that would gate the breakage before it gets merged to the live branch, so thanks to Ludovic, Romain and others who have been working toward improving things on this front. -- Thanks, Maxim
