Fixed:

  6232959311 tests: docker-system: Increase image size.
  f59aa79ca3 system: vm: Non-volatile 'run-vm.sh' creates a CoW image.

I suspect Freetalk (the client) might be at fault.  I tried fiddling
with it, using Loudmouth 1.5.3, removing Kerberos support, but that
didn’t have any effect.

Can someone more familiar with Prosody/XMPP take a look?

I’ll take a look.

Should be fixed now:

  fe563a87ad gnu: texinfo, info-reader: Do not run tests when cross-compiling.

Right.

Yesterday on IRC we discussed an installer crash received at
dump.guix.gnu.org.  Did you or will you have time to look into it?

I should be able to prepare and upload RC2 sometime between Thursday and
Sunday.  Now’s the time to report and fix installation problems!
