Now the bottleneck has clearly become the front-end (at least in terms of RAM, disk space, CPU.) I think we have to consider moving the front-end elsewhere, possibly on this new machine or the one provided by TUM. For that, we=E2=80=99ll need volunteers to help with: 1. general sysadmin work. 2. packaging of Hydra and its dependencies (Hydra is written in Perl and depends on a number of Perl libraries.) For the brave hacker, there=E2=80=99s also this option: 2b. Write a Hydra replacement in Scheme, probably building upon David=E2=80=99s neat guix-web. Volunteers are eligible for a beverage offered by me. :-) Ludo=E2=80=99.
