Did anyone consider supporting GitLab runners in #Forgejo or #Codeberg? I find the GitLab pipeline language and runner design more well designed than GitHub Actions. (I’m biased knowing GitLab pipelines well but still learning GitHub actions, though.) The forge itself shouldn’t care a lot about the CICD language or runner setup, I would imagine?

TIL that the LinuxFoundation "Open source audio DSP firmware and development tools" project assumes signed proprietary firmware verified by Intel ME in your CPU. So much for "Open Source". https://thesofproject.github.io/latest/getting_started/intel_debug/introduction.html#base-firmware

Great work! You say the library is well tested, are there test vectors available somewhere? I would like to see support for identifying Bad Unicode as you specify added to https://www.gnu.org/software/libunistring/ and if I were to start working on that, I would like to see good test cases.

Building a Debian+Guix image takes around 25 minutes on a large GitLab runner node. Building the pure Guix image takes around 6 minutes, also on a large GitLab runner node. The Debian+Guix image is used to prepare the native Guix-only image. I have not yet tried to build another Guix-only image from the Guix-only image I have prepared, that is issue #1 and I think it is trivial. https://gitlab.com/debdistutils/guix/container/-/issues/1
