Hi,

Well, I do not see if there is a reply.  If no, sorry!  If yes, I am
just adding my own curiosity. :-)

AFAIK, Hydra is now down.  IIRC, Mark was in charge.  Mark?

The webpage [1] starts with:

        This page describes many of the development resources available
        for GNU developers on GNU Project machines.

Jing Luo, could you provide more details on the purpose of this
webpage?  What is the intent of this webpage?

The Guix project relieson two Continuous Integration systems deployed on
two infrastructures, visible at ci.guix.gnu.org and
bordeaux.guix.gnu.org.  One is indeed Cuirass [2].  The other one is
Build Coordinator [3].

AFAIK, GNU Guile is continuously built on ci.guix but there is no other
GNU projects.  And I do not know if the Guix projects has the capacity
or the resource to host more GNU projects on their infrastructure.

Cheers,
simon
