It’s also not desirable IMO: the way Guix operates is that either it succeeds the operation you asked for, or it fails, but it never “changes its mind” in the middle. Instead, I think what would improve usability would be to notify the user upfront when a package is known to fail to build. The build farm could state that when it replies to narinfo requests, and ‘guix’ commands would print a warning or even stop upfront by default. Thanks, Ludo’.
