Re: Parallel downloads

[zimoun]

Hi,
It is not related with parallel download but on old machines "guix
build --no-substitutes" can eat a lot of resources; for example if the
package has a lot of dependencies. I would like to be able to list
which dependencies I want to build and which I want to substitute.
Maybe it is already possible.

Currently, I am doing:

  guix build `guix show PKG | recsel -R dependencies`
  guix build PKG --no-substitutes


What do you think?


All the best,
simon
