https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Tracking-Bugs-and-Patches.html There's no hard fast rule about what should or should not be sent. If it feels like a bug, go ahead and submit it. It's typically good to put the output of "guix describe" and "guix system describe" and what hardware you are using when describing a bug. :) > > Kind regards, > > ==================== > Jonathan McHugh > indieterminacy@libre.brussels > > September 21, 2021 8:46 AM, "Joshua Branson" <jbra...@dismail.de> wrote: > >> Andy Tai <a...@atai.org> writes: >> >>> Hi, if I try to install a package and that may trigger building a >>> number of dependencies (when no substitutes for some reason but that >>> is outside the concern of this question), I notice that since the >>> build processes would run the tests by default, that takes a lot of >>> time.
