Something like that. Is that right? I didn't modify it in any way—it's run from the 0.14.0 armhf binary download. What I wrote about—modifying it—I'm simply thinking about. I would still hope the failure is fixed upstream as it shouldn't be failing on guix rebuild. The “hoops to jump through” I was referring to are the setup on Android side—you need to symlink /gnu and /var every reboot, create /etc/resolv.conf etc. But no modifications to Guix per se are necessary… >If you don't tell "guix pull" where to get the Guix source from, it >gets >the latest version from the Git repository hosted on Savannah.
