[bug#60373] Kernel job for Cuirass

[Mathieu Othacehe]

Hey Leo,

Good initiative!

> Can the build field actually contain this kind of list?

No sadly it cannot right now. That would require to edit a bit the (gnu
ci) module in Guix so that it allows a list of things to be built
instead of individual subsets. Then a thing or two would need to be
adjusted in Cuirass as well.

What you could do instead is something like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
((specification
   (name "kernel-updates")
   (build '(manifests "etc/kernels-manifest.scm"))
   (period 7200)
   (priority 2)
   (systems '#$systems))
 (specification
   (name "kernel-updates-images")
   (build 'images)
   (period 7200)
   (priority 2)
   (systems '#$systems))
 (specification
   (name "kernel-updates-tests")
   (build 'system-tests)
   (period 7200)
   (priority 2)
   (systems '("x86_64-linux"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then we could think about supporting multiple build subsets.

WDYT?

Thanks,

Mathieu
