Hi,

Mekeor Melire <mekeor <at> posteo.de> skribis:

Sounds good to me.

Yes, but that can be done separately I guess.

It depends.  Hilton, were you able to build everything returned by
‘guix refresh -l node’, except perhaps ungoogled-chromium?

For some reason <https://qa.guix.gnu.org/issue/59188> didn’t pick it
up.  Anything we should do to address that, Chris?

Otherwise we can indeed create a branch and tell ci.guix to build it,
for instance.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
