Hi Guix,

for the past weeks the "master" branch has been in pretty poor state
according to ci.guix.gnu.org.  It keeps hovering at around 56% progress,
which is a far cry from the 80+% we used to have in the old days.

A lot of packages are in fact broken.  Many more are marked as broken
due to a bug affecting ci.guix.gnu.org.

It would be a good idea to do a little spring cleaning and go through
the dashboard for the master branch and work on fixing builds that are
currently broken on x86_64-linux.  (Other architectures are in worse
state, but fixing x86_64-linux may be something we can actually
accomplish.)

What do you think?

Using the QA¹ page we can see another data point of how the different
architectures are doing.  Also, assuming there are 30,000 packages, the
4.3% difference on bayfront between x86_64 and i686 would be 129
packages.  Given how easy it is to build for i686 on x86_64 I'd suggest
also going through some of the i686 packages which don't build and
checking if there's a build failure that can be patched or if it's a
case of the software not supporting 32-bit architectures.

I get 1290 as 4.3% of 30000, and that matches up better with the 1551
results I see here for things that are available from bordeaux, but not
from ci:

  https://data.guix.gnu.org/revision/ddf3759645ba76ef532658a257ae74fe0b1788b5/package-derivation-outputs?search_query=&substitutes_available_from=2&substitutes_not_available_from=1&output_consistency=any&system=x86_64-linux&target=none&field=no-additional-fields&after_path=&limit_results=&all_results=on

You can also ask the data service about failing builds, although it only
knows about bordeaux builds:

Thanks for that!  I do not understand the underlying math but read the
other number with some skepticism.

Kind regards
Felix
