Actually the “unresponsive” message was misleading, which is why I
changed it to “somewhat slow” (after a native speaker pointed out the
bad choice of words.  ;-))

Are you sure which problem needs to be solved before we spend $$$ on it?


Most of the time I was seeing that hydra is unresponsive and guix will 
fetch the source instead a substitute, but ATM I am getting a message:


guix substitute-binary: warning: while fetching 
http://hydra.gnu.org/nar/nax41ygqk14w23nbyzfh4i23vxl3qf01-python-3.3.5: 
server is somewhat slow


but it is still fetching the substitute from there. The hydra admin should 
find what is the cause.

So I would like to keep hydra.gnunet.org as a build machine and to
switch to a dedicated box for the front-end.

The FSF might be able to help with that, otherwise we’ll go ahead and
get ourselves another machine, I think.  But I think it’s time to fix
that issue now.

I think we have just the right size in terms of x86 build machines.  The
front-end itself shouldn’t also be a build machine, because it already
has enough to do (evaluations + HTTP requests, which includes providing
compressed archives on demand.)

I believe switching to hydra.gnunet.org may be helpful.  Have you

Allright, I used the options "--no-distributes" and work.

This message suggests that hydra.gnu.org, the server that provides
pre-compiled binaries, is somewhat slow.

This is unfortunately too frequent and we hope to switch to a more
powerful front-end server.
