I think I now see the technical difficulties in implementing a useful, offloaded interrupted build: the build artifacts, even if copied locally, would require syncing all the build time dependencies in order to allow sourcing the "environment-variables" script and be able to debug. That's more the job of 'guix publish', not of 'guix offload'. Maxim
