I sympathize. That’s one of the reason [1] why I have not checked out core-updates yet. :-) 1: https://yhetil.org/guix/86v8k57vey....@gmail.com > So it would be nice if someone could set up a more complete job for > core-updates on cuirass or QA, [...] > Here is my eclectic selection of packages I would add to the job: [...] > Please suggest more leaf packages that exercise your favourite missing > language or application domain! I agree. It could be helpful if Berlin or Bordeaux could build some manifest for core-updates. And then, once the manifest builds, we could add some packages and repeat. It would avoid that we all build the same things; worse, that each of us burn many CPU just for knowing what fails. Well, maybe it could be helpful if now Berlin or Bordeaux starts to build etc/release-manifest.scm. WDYT? Cheers, simon
