<rekado>why does hpc.guix.info/browse redirect to packages.guix.gnu.org?

<rekado>I think the browser on hpc.guix.info is better for our purposes because it includes more channels.

<civodul>it does that when it times out

<civodul>IOW, that indicates something’s wrong

<civodul>ACTION looks

<civodul>problem is bayfront is building lots of things, which often makes it damn slow

<civodul>not sure what happened

<civodul>there were signs of life yesterday at 11PM

<civodul>anyway, restarted it now :-/

<rekado>FYI: I’m testing the changes to the CRAN/Bioc channel scripts; they should now remove excessively large packages.

<rekado>the build queue on guix.bordeaux.inria.fr doesn’t seem to move forward

<rekado>sorry about filling up all these machines

<rekado>maybe we should build guix-cran/bioc on ci.guix.gnu.org instead…?

<civodul>that’s ok, we just need to make sure we don’t consume 20GiB in 6h

<civodul>that’s quickly going to be a problem on ci.guix as well

<civodul>if you think this is now fix, i can run gc on workers and see how far it goes

<civodul>perhaps we’ll have to purge old builds from the queue too

<civodul>but yeah, there’s about 8k queued builds, so it’ll take a while

<civodul>(assuming none of them exhausts worker storage too quickly)

<civodul>(besides, i told IT i wouldn’t mind getting more second-hand servers from them :-))

<rekado>it should be fixed in the scripts, but I need to use the scripts to update guix-bioc first (to remove the offending packages)

<rekado>it’s still running

<rekado>urgh, awful: the script caused a deletion of *all* packages in guix-bioc

<rekado>little bug somewhere

<civodul>we don’t have to reduce the load on the build farm *that* much
