Hello Guix!
A few hours ago I deployed current Cuirass on ci.guix and its build
machines. The expected benefits are:
1. Better throughput. I fixed a bug that would lead “workers” to
eventually get ignored by ‘cuirass remote-server’, meaning they
would become idle until either the server or the worker is
restarted¹.
When I reconfigured, there were 45k pending builds (!), visible on
<https://ci.guix.gnu.org/metrics> and the vast majority of workers
at <https://ci.guix.gnu.org/workers> were idle.
We’re now at ~22k pending builds (okay, I cheated by canceling ~15k
from ‘emacs-team’, but I also restarted many builds en masse),
which are mostly non-x86.
My hope is that we can get close to zero soon and have headroom for
feature branches.
2. Evaluation can be triggered via POST requests, which should make
things a bit more reactive and will allow us to poll repos less
frequently. I submitted a support request on Savannah:
<https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?110939>.
3. Improved resilience against “evaluation storms” since ‘cuirass
register’ now has an upper limit on the number of evaluations that
may occur in parallel.
4. Build priority handling has been restored (it had been lost
recently).
As a bonus, we may finally get native GNU/Hurd builds again, via the
childhurds running on some of the build nodes.
That’s it!
Ludo’.
