Hello Guix,

Lately ci.guix has regularly been bubbling around 100,000 pending
builds, which cannot be absorbed in a timely fashion:

  https://ci.guix.gnu.org/metrics

Currently there are several jobsets producing many builds:
‘mesa-updates’, ‘meson-parallel-tests’, ‘rust-team’, ‘python-team’.
That’s fine, it’s the whole point of the platform, but I think we should
follow some rules to keep things under control:

  1. Until it’s “your turn” to merge according to the requests to merge
     listed at <https://qa.guix.gnu.org/>, please restrict builds to
     x86_64-linux, unless portability is a significant aspect of the
     branch.  This is necessary due to limited resources for aarch64
     and, to a lesser extent, powerpc64le.

  2. When rebasing on top of ‘master’, please cancel pending builds from
     previous evaluations that have become irrelevant.

If you don’t have a certificate for ci.guix or SSH access to berlin to
perform these tasks, you can ask on IRC or on guix-sysad...@gnu.org.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
