Marius, any update?

Chris, does data.guix.gnu.org have enough info to provide insights?

There was progress on i686-linux since last week:

  https://issues.guix.gnu.org/58366
  https://issues.guix.gnu.org/58352

I’m also making slow progress on making childhurds usable on the ci.guix
infrastructure (and probably elsewhere) for i586-gnu builds:

  https://issues.guix.gnu.org/58320

‘make assert-binaries-available’ reports 91.9% right now (commit
8b192c5550213911f930594f4fd7386f36618237).

Mathieu fixed <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/57232> today.

Discussions are ongoing regarding <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55360>.

How about meeting on #guix on IRC tomorrow Friday at 2PM CEST (UTC+2) to
discuss the issues above and distribute work among ourselves?  Who’s in?

Ludo’.
