Hi Ludo’, all,

Thanks for your vote(s) of confidence, Ludo’; it’s great to hear!

I just sent in the very first patch inspired (in part) by this proposal
to guix-patches: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/38770 :-)

Sure!  I’d love to hear from others (esp. other maintainers) about this.

Personally, being a GNU maintainer, webmaster, and Savannah hacker, I’m
(almost by definition :-)) partial to using *.gnu.org and various pieces
of the GNU infra (lists, Savannah source repositories, …) for GNU work
whenever possible.  As such, I naturally like fm.guix.gnu.org better as
the domain, and would prefer to use Savannah for hosting our sources,
e.g. the Haunt sources for the Guix-FM site.

What do you think?

Like Brett, I’d be curious to hear the reasons for using *.guix.info and
a non-Savannah repository forge for Guix-HPC.
