Hi Hartmut, I have been testing a set of patches (since last summer) based on the following mailing list discussion (from 2021) to rewrite the cmake-build-system build, check, and install functions to use cmake utilities rather than depend on the gnu-build-system. This allows for parallel tests and a package-defined #:generator. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-10/msg00055.html I will submit a patchset shortly for review and if accepted we can look to combine all the cmake patches for the large rebuild. Perhaps a version update for cmake-bootstrap (v3.24 released August 2022) at the same time? Greg
