Hi Ricardo, all, I totally agree with your words. A minor comment about the merge of core-updates…

That would be nothing short of reckless. …well, the current bad shape of master for non-x86_64 should not be blocking for the core-updates merge, IMHO. For instance, Pandoc is already broken for i686 on master. Julia too! Aside, I agree the situation must be improved. Therefore… …Concerning Julia, it seems about the configuration of the build farm, --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Error During Test at /tmp/guix-build-julia-1.8.3.drv-0/julia-1.8.3/test/testdefs.jl:21 Got exception outside of a @test LoadError: OutOfMemoryError() --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Is it possible that Berlin is missing memory? …Concerning GHC@9.2, it is also about the build farm, --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- building of `/gnu/store/in0gfsahn1z6ym232wg3cayzim51zng8-ghc-9.2.5.drv' timed out after 3600 seconds of silence @ build-failed /gnu/store/in0gfsahn1z6ym232wg3cayzim51zng8-ghc-9.2.5.drv - timeout --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Well, so maybe it is fixable by extending the timeout. Once Julia fixed on core-updates for x86_64 (the patch is almost ready, I am currently checking it will have the expected effect ;-)), then I will give a look for Julia on i686; probably tomorrow. About GHC, I am trying to build ghc-8.10.7 on core-updates for i686. It could be nice to fix it. Well, I will be happy if someone™ beats me. ;-) 1: https://ci.guix.gnu.org/eval/394617/dashboard?system=i686-linux Cheers, simon
