Re: Cuirass news

Hi again! I’ve updated the ‘cuirass’ package to correspond to the current Fibers-based code. If you’re running a Cuirass instance, please give it a try and report any issues you encounter. /var/log/cuirass.log now provides details as to what’s happening, and the HTTP API also gives a pretty

BTW, it’s been a couple of weeks already, but I realize we didn’t write a summary of the Guix workshop and the discussions we’ve had over the weekend. It’d be useful for those who didn’t attend and for lurkers. Any volunteer? :-) If you make it plain text or Markdown, we can make it a blog
