Re: Binary downloads

[Pjotr Prins]

Hmmm. Running the git repo with store set to /gnu/nix does not make a
difference. Guix still wants to build everything. I also kind of miss a step
by step description.

guix package --install=hello --dry-run
accepted connection from pid 14415, uid 502
The following package would be installed:     
   hello-2.9    out     /gnu/store/5kgsss1jjlck8pmzvk29agayzdwhk5ch-hello-2.9

The following derivations would be built:
   /gnu/store/1b29qisj2j9843qa58h0nsgrrn2id8cq-profile.drv
   /gnu/store/hvczfn93s94agdjy1qsjkz7mni2s7l16-m4-1.4.17.drv
