How long does it typically take before substitutes are available
after
pulling from master? Or is there a way to see (from ci.guix.info?)
which revision I should pull in order to have a maximum of
substitutes
available?
Are you on 32 or 64 bit?
Paste "uname -a"
Hi,
I'm on GuixSD, 64-bit. guix --version tells me I'm on revision
afbf9763faf231c27ef25315d4d24379e1762568 (I last pulled on Jan 1).
Guix weather reports 85.2% substitutes available, but then when I run
'guix package' with that manifest, I find myself building
(bootstrap?) binutils, glib, and multiple versions of gcc. It
doesn't even seem to look for substitutes (?):
$ guix package --manifest=config/manifest.scm
installing new manifest from 'config/manifest.scm' with 62 entries

Strangely, I *do* get substitutes when I specify
--substitute-urls=https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org.
What substitute server is currently recommended? Or what could be
wrong with my setup that I'm not finding these substitutes
automatically?
