One little annoyance I have is that guix takes every opportunity to update the list of substitutes when guix build, guix package -u, etc... is run, and fills my terminal with output like: substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org'... 100.0% substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org'... 100.0% substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org'... 100.0% substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org'... 100.0% ... It will output this line a different number each time based on some rule I couldn't guess, and renders the percentage measurement meaningless. Currently I am running `guix system init config.scm --substitute-urls=3D"http://10.1.1.61:8080 https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org/" --fallback' from the 0.13 installer, and it his been outputting hundreds of these lines for the last half an hour. I'm not sure if it is ever going to stop, perhaps I've stumbled across a genuine bug? In any case, the minor annoyance version is something I've noticed for a while.
