Just have one fiber at the moment, but this will enable using fibers for
parallelism in the future.
Fibers seemed to cause problems with the logging setup, which was a bit odd in
the first place. So move logging to the parent process which is better anyway.
Generating system test derivations are difficult, since you generally need to
do potentially expensive builds for the system you're generating the system
tests for. You might not want to disable grafts for instance because you might
be trying to test whatever the test is testing in the context of grafts being
enabled.
I'm looking at skipping the system tests on data.guix.gnu.org, because they're
not used and quite expensive to compute.
From the normalized one, to the one actually contained within glibc. Recent
versions of glibc also contain symlinks linking the normalized codeset to the
locales with the .UTF-8 ending, but older ones do not.
Maybe handling codeset normalisation for queries would be good, but the locale
values ending in .UTF-8 are more compatible and allow the code to be
simplified. For querying, maybe there should be a locales table which handles
different representations.
This allows easily processing an individual job by id. This may be useful to
use manually, but also when processing jobs in parallel, as forking doesn't
work well with the libpq library used by squee.
