Re: Bringing substitutes from the Guix Build Coordinator to users

Hello!

That all sounds like a plan!

One way it’ll benefit everyone is by feeding build/reproducibility data
to the Data Service.

Another way can be by advertising bayfront.guix.gnu.org to “insiders”
(that is, maybe we won’t put it in the manual, but we can suggest this
option to people reading this list etc.)

Thoughts?

BTW, we must make sure the load on bayfront itself remains under control
because it hosts <https://hpc.guix.info>.

Thanks for working on it!
