Hi!

With the first EOMA68 compatible devices expected to ship soon, giving me an excuse to finally try out Trisquel again, I have been thinking about how to deal with having two processor architectures to supply updated packages for (and decently updated packages at that). As such, I am considering setting up a personal GUIX build farm for x86 64-bit and ARM architectures. Although I would love to publish the packages for others to use as well, I'm not the one paying for bandwidth.

Would it seem feasible to compile Trisquel sources from scratch on an i5 with 5G of RAM? If so, could anyone give me some pointers on how to set up a build farm and repository?

Thanks in advance,
*extremely* soon to be free

The build script needs 6GB of RAM! :O

Hi Majin Buu! Sorry for the long wait to reply- I've been a little busy recently.

Thank you for pointing out that link to me. Although the script does require 6GB of RAM, as you pointed out, it seems that's only because it uses a RAM disk- with a bit of hacking to use the HDD and Guix, it should be perfect!
