AFAIU the issue is "guix weather" reporting on the availability related to current master and not of user commit: am I wrong? a little (digression anyway even if that is not the issue, users should have some way to check if a substitute is available for their current commit, so they can decide if they are willing to locally build or not. also, it would be useful if "guix package -i/-u" allowed users to choose to fail (via a flag or a CLI prompt) in case a substitute is not available; AFAIU "Substitution failure" [1] works when a substitute *is available* but download fails (and we have "--fallback" just in case), but there is non way to fail in case substitute in not available. in my specific case with ungoogled-chromium, it took about 8 hours on a 8 cores + 16GB RAM machine (although heavily used) to reach 75% of the build process... and finally I had to cancel the build since the machine load reached 40 (since other "heavy" processes started via cronjobs).) anyway: back to the issue > If you could provide the following information, I can try to reproduce > it for you: > > - The output of 'guix describe'. > - The manifest file you used in your 'guix weather' command.
