SUBJECT Subject: [Hangout - NYLXS] Fwd: Mid-December update on bordeaux.guix.gnu.org


Hi Chris,

Thanks for the update. And for the all work. :-)

The timing had almost been perfect. ;-)


Well, as discussed on Sept., one concern I have is about “long-term
storage” – where long-term is not well-defined and storage either.

Do you think that Bordeaux could run



? Having a redundancy about all origins would avoid breakage. For
instance, because Berlin was down yesterday morning, “guix pull” was
broken because the missing ’datefuge’ package – disappeared upstream.

Today, Guix is well covered for package using ’git-fetch’ but not for
all the others methods. The situation is improving to have a complete
fallback using Software Heritage via Disarchive. Not ready yet [1]. :-)

This redundancy about all sources appears to me vitally important.
Because if Berlin is totally lost for whatever reason, it is game over
for preserving Guix – well, recover from scattered with people’s store.

Other said, in term of capacity and priority, it appears to me worse if
0.01% source (or even just one) is missing than if some substitutes are
missing. Because I can always locally burn some CPU, but I cannot
create source code. :-)

Cool! Thanks.

IIUC the design, if the proxy server is lost, then it is easy to replace
it. Right?

I remember discussions about CDN [2,3,4,5,6]. I do not know if it
solves the issue but from my understanding, it will improve at least
performance delivery. Well, it appears to me worth to give a try.

To me, one first general question about backup coordination is to define
a window for time:

- source: forever until the complete fallback to SWH is robust;
- all the substitutes to run “guix time-machine --commit=<> -- help ”
for any commit reachable by inferior: forever;
- package substitute: rule something.


Thanks for taking care about redundancy and reliance of CI.


Cheers,
simon
