Hello,

on a newly installed Overdrive 1000 machine with 8 GB of memory, I am trying
   guix pull -n

This results in
Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...
Building from this channel:
  guix      https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git	d0d207c
The following derivations will be built:
   /gnu/store/qvljgqnsynw113h1062nws9i2zfcz15y-compute-guix-derivation.drv
   /gnu/store/rj824ibc8nhhl1j2h25sgw4lyxkxjggc-gdb-8.2.drv
...
   /gnu/store/w1jw283cdf6n03qnccsrvxgzy41z0hps-guile-gcrypt-0.1.0.drv
building /gnu/store/wy37294j2rb6fg5fgpybki28vq60jz94-python-minimal-3.6.5.drv...
starting phase `set-SOURCE-DATE-EPOCH'
...

That a build of something starts although the "-n" flag is specified seems
to be a first bug.

Then, during the test phase, the build is killed since the machine runs out
of memory. I also tried to pass "--cores=1" to "guix build", but this
parameter is not honoured: "top" shows that all four cores are running.
This might be a second bug.

In any case, it becomes impossible to upgrade with the usual mechanism,
which is a rather serious bug.

My guix version:
   $ guix --version
guix (GNU Guix) 0.15.0-8.71a78ba

There should be a number of possible solutions:
- Try to not depend on python for such basic operations (preferable; where
  does this dependency come from anyway?)
- Disable the tests in a bootstrapping python that is used here.
- Disable only tests requiring a lot of memory.
- Update python to a newer version.

What do you think we should try?

Andreas


PS: I am still not convinced that the system is in a coherent state, so it
would be interesting if someone could confirm this bug. For instance, I
observe the following:

$ guix package -i hello -n
guix package: warning: Your Guix installation is 9 days old.
guix package: warning: Consider running 'guix pull' followed by
'guix package -u' to get up-to-date packages and security updates.

The following package would be installed:
   hello	2.10	/gnu/store/5hzc1q803ksynz19sr8ymvgzf4v7anzk-hello-2.10

The following derivations would be built:

This is an awful lot of unrelated packages required to build hello!
