I see that mostly as an argument for trying to bring the benefits of the Guix Build Coordinator to the substitutes served by ci.guix.gnu.org. Even with 3 machines for x86_64-linux (2.x given that bayfront is only lightly used), bayfront has pretty much caught up with ci.guix.gnu.org in terms of x86_64-linux substitutes, and I expect it to have a higher substitute availability percentage in the coming days, since it's still working through the backlog. Once it is doing better, at least for x86_64-linux substitutes, I see that as a strong argument to promote it to users (default config change, blog post, ...). 1: → guix describe Generation 310 May 16 2021 09:06:12 (current) guix 7c4c781 repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git branch: master commit: 7c4c781aa40c42d4cd10b8d9482199f3db345e1b → guix weather --substitute-urls="https://bayfront.guix.gnu.org https://ci.guix.gnu.org" computing 17,423 package derivations for x86_64-linux... looking for 18,872 store items on https://bayfront.guix.gnu.org... https://bayfront.guix.gnu.org 91.6% substitutes available (17,293 out of 18,872) 37,146.8 MiB of nars (compressed) 143,978.2 MiB on disk (uncompressed) (continuous integration information unavailable) looking for 18,872 store items on https://ci.guix.gnu.org... https://ci.guix.gnu.org 92.1% substitutes available (17,389 out of 18,872) at least 139,781.5 MiB of nars (compressed) 35,184,372,238,367.3 MiB on disk (uncompressed)
