In my opinion this makes it hard to keep track of patches and maybe also makes the workflow of people with commit access harder and we need a patch managing solution. If you are okay with a temporary (until I find a way for guixsd dedicated server hosting with them) solution which involves a virtual server, I can spawn another instance at in-berlin.de and let some software we decide upon run to help the situation. This is just a proposal for a discussion, I have not looked into which software would be useful for us and suitable. I can do some search on my own, but the base system in my case is currently limited to debian. thanks, -- ng personal contact: http://krosos.sdf.org EDN: https://wiki.c3d2.de/EDN
