The ghc-memory test suite has failed several times in a row on i686 with
the same errors:

Hi Mark,

This bug is very old. And probably not relevant anymore.

This build number is about openldap-2.4.46.i686-linux on
core-updates-core-updates.

With Guix f4450e8ca909530ee3432710b82f97e23acc7fef, the tests suite of
ghc-memory is turn on and the substitute seems available.

I am in favor to close it if no more information is added.

I don't recognize the web interface that is currently being served at
http://hydra.gnu.org/build/893578. It certainly does not resemble the
page that was there when I filed the bug. I'm pretty sure that at the
time, it referred to a failed 'ghc-memory' build.

Well, as I vaguely recall (possibly mistakenly), ghc-memory sometimes
built successfully back in 2015 on i686-linux as well. The issue I
reported was that it often failed.

Unfortunately, last I checked, Cuirass still does not provide anything
close to the level of functionality that Hydra previously provided for
us. So maybe this bug still exists, or maybe it doesn't. The
information provided by 'guix weather' is too crude to answer that
question.

Anyway, I agree that we should close this bug. I'll do so now.
I doubt that many GHC users are on i686 systems anyway.

Thanks again for working through these old bugs, Simon.

Regards,
Mark

This could happen. I remember similar hard time with the package
Guitarix and bug#21803.

I agree. Running on all the public build farms I am aware of, I get:

Toggle snippet (29 lines)
guix weather ghc-memory -s i686-linux --substitute-urls="https://ci.guix.gnu.org https://bayfront.guix.gnu.org https://guix.cbaines.net https://guix.tobias.gr https://builds.guix-patches.cbaines.net"

However, I am not convinced that bayfront.guix.gnu.org, guix.tobias.gr
and builds.guix-patches.cbaines.net build for i686 since they do not
even have the package ’hello’.

Well, a second data point is still crude.

It is a pleasure, or at least a fun mean to be more familiar with
Guix. :-)

All the best,
