Hi Arun,

Arun Isaac <arunisaac@systemreboot.net> skribis:

I’m curious what the REST interface has to offer compared to DRMAA.

That’s quite a few heavyweight dependencies (‘linux-libre-headers’ is
not necessary; it’s included by default).

It’s a bit of Inheritance Game in this file (ah ha!) so we should make
sure the other slurm variants still work fine.  qa.guix hasn’t tested it
yet.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
