Hi Guix,

This is a follow-up to the "Incentives for review" thread.

I think it would be nice to have a public/semi-public access `guix
offload' server. My own machine is relatively slow and has a spinning
disk. I can't really review "big patches" (in the sense of build time)
without ruining a few days of my life. So, I usually refrain from
reviewing patches to packages with a lot of dependents. And, I don't
participate in world-rebuilding tasks such as merging core-updates. This
problem is becoming worse as Guix grows larger and the dependencies
become more complex. Perhaps, if we had a public `guix offload' server
to which I could offload cumbersome builds, I might feel more encouraged
to review tough patches.

If security is a problem with a public access guix offload server, we
could make it semi-public and available at least to people with commit
access. Currently, guix offload requires mutual trust between the master
and the build machines. If we could make the trust only one-way,
security might be less of an issue.

WDYT? How does everyone else handle big builds? Do you have access to
powerful workstations?

Regards,
Arun
