In which case do users have to ‘rm -rf ~/.cache/guix/substitute’?
That directory is only used by ‘guix weather’. In that case,
‘--clear-cache’ could be added to ‘guix weather’ maybe?
Now, ideally there would not be any cache-related option because the
cache would always be valid. If it’s not, it would be nice to see how
that can be improved or mitigated.
Thoughts?
Ludo’.
