Try rebuilding the manual + translations by yourself: it takes a few minutes (see also commit a524a31de43b330c911fb08ae02fcd880d32aa04 related commits). Also, if you don=E2=80=99t build it by yourself, you have to download its substitutes, which is also not free. So it=E2=80=99s really important to rebuild only when we have to. (guix se= lf) is written in that spirit. >> One way to avoid that would be to look at the latest commit that touch >> doc/ instead of the latest commit overall (I think that=E2=80=99s what z= imoun >> was suggesting).
