Hi!

We have just published a new blog post---a follow-up, in a way to last

It would be nice to have this in a CI, and report when it breaks, so we
catch that as early as possible when pushing stuff upstream :)

Someone did that a while back:

Time flies!  :-)

I agree that it would be nice to revive this, with a Guix setup this time.

Cheers,
Ludo’.

Yep :)

It would be useful to set up one for the gdb git as well, its build
breaks from times to times notably due to the mig stuff and we really
need gdb working :)
