[bug#36162] [PATCH 0/4] Add 'remote-eval'

[Jakob L. Kreuze]

Wow, this is great! It seems like this patch series is implementing a
number of things I'd been wishing I could just import from some other
Guix module. I'm signing off for the night, but I'll apply this tomorrow
and give you some feedback.

One idea I had in developing my test suite was to design another record
type to supplement '<system-test>' for tests that /do/ need access the
host's store as they're running, but thought it would be too intrusive
as it would only be used by the tests for '(gnu machine)'. Now that we
have a ‘remote-eval’ that would benefit from being tested that way,
though, I'd like to ask: is that something I should look into?

Thanks again for implementing this
