I don’t think we can have more space easily on hydra.gnu.org. I’m also unsure how much would be needed. Currently ‘guix publish’ prepares bakes archives on-demand. So if you ask for glibc:out, it returns 404, prepares it, and the next request for glibc:out will succeed. But if you ask for glibc:debug, it’s similarly missing initially. With this model, ‘guix publish’ gives the impression that not all the outputs of a given derivation are available at the same time. We could change ‘guix publish’ to “bake” all the outputs of a derivation as soon as one if requested—e.g., when you ask for glibc:out, it bakes not only glibc:out but also glibc:debug. But then we might have a disk space issue. Thoughts? Ludo’.
