2018-06-05 Thread Konrad Hinsen
Hi Guix, I wonder if there is any way to check if substitutes are available for a given set of packages (e.g. a single package with its dependencies, or a complete manifest). The context is optimizing package updates: if I know everything I need is available as a substitute, I can do an update im

Hi Tim, Thanks for your explanations! I will try out the script you posted last year. From your description it sounds like good enough to solve my routine problem, which is that compiling Qt runs out of memory on my machine unless it's close to idle. No way to have Emacs + Firefox + Qt compilation
