Typo? The issue is not found. Note that I do not care so much about the closure size, but about the number of packages that are needed to just build guix (although of course the two are related). Or otherwise said, the dependencies for "guix pull". On "exotic" architectures, each dependency is a potential cause of failure, and all in all it may take hours (days?) to run "guix pull" without substitutes, with a high chance of failure. Andreas
