Hello Carl,

> that was discussed briefly at Guix Days, and the reception was positive.

Do you mean nightly builds of Guix itself? If yes, I guess one good
starting point would be what we already build in our CI.

We use Cuirass to build all packages on top of master, core-updates and
staging branches each time those branches are modified. We also do build
Guix "itself" so that you get substitutes when running "guix pull".

You can find a part of our Cuirass CI configuration here[1].

Adding a Cuirass job, doing the equivalent of "make release" nightly
could be possible this way, if that's what you intend to do.

Thanks,

Mathieu
