If I read correctly, the issue comes from (guix scripts substitutes)
in 'fetch-narinfos':
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(call-with-connection-error-handling
uri
(lambda ()
(http-multiple-get uri
handle-narinfo-response '()
requests
#:open-connection
open-connection
#:verify-certificate? #f))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
where 'requests' can be really large (all the missing information from
local cache).
Instead of processing the list in one go, we could imagine split it
into several chunks, say X, and so process only X requests by X
requests.
WDYT?
Cheers,
simon
