The bordeaux build farm depends on computing the derivations on one
machine, then potentially building them on a different machine.

Some of the build machines don't have a new enough guix-daemon that
understands builtin:git-download, so derivations that use this are
sometimes failing (e.g. [1])

1: https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org/build/10cc5622-6b1f-4f28-ad9a-41cf796d7a15

One potential approach to address this is somehow have the data service
indicate that it wants compatible derivations when computing them,
rather than to have guix do feature detection against the guix-daemon
that is being used at the point the derivations are being computed.

Do you mean that the drv file is generated using a new daemon then this
drv file is =E2=80=9Coffloaded=E2=80=9D to another machine using an older d=
aemon and
thus fails to build it?

Other solutions are: downgrade the daemon of one of the machine or
update the daemon of other machines, no?

Why would the latter not be possible?

Cheers

Roughly, yep.

It's possible, just difficult. Because with the current guix-daemon, the
build coordinator can only build things that can be GC'd, some machines
deliberately run older daemons to allow building newer things without
hitting this issue.

Would it work for you if we added a keyword argument to
=E2=80=98open-connection=E2=80=99 in (guix store) that would let you select=
 which
builtins to use?

As in:

  (open-connection
    #:assume-available-builtin-builders '("download"))

Ludo=E2=80=99.
