Just this disclaimer:
I am just a lurker interested in mes, not a mes developer or team member.
(I am trying to do some minimal stuff too, so I cloned the mes repo and pull once
in a while to see what's going on :)

Sorry for any implication that I really know anything about mes ;/

When building /gnu/store/2nvaxgs0rdxfkrwklh622ggaxg0wap6n-bash-mesboot0-2.05b.drv, we encountered the following build failure: https://paste.sr.ht/~dongcarl/376b19b8349c329ed5329508c7fb43a7c3aec64b#2nvaxgs0rdxfkrwklh622ggaxg0wap6n-bash-mesboot0-2.05b.log-L1299
