I don't know exactly, but during `guix pull` Guix is built from source with the Guile compiler. There are some bugs in the current version of the Guile compiler that cause it to require way more memory than expected. This is terrible on memory-constrained systems because it forces the use of swap, which is typically super slow. Hopefully we can deploy a fix soon. --mojUlQ0s9EVzWg2t Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEsFFZSPHn08G5gDigJkb6MLrKfwgFAloF1VsACgkQJkb6MLrK fwgVHxAAhX3clo5WoYjHCeBS/T996DaHba7gZ32i6JY+c50oeZ+ptP2kNiIs9ZuB dDp9bbr63iANmMC8qCBruU35aaYj97GpMoT1tgc3yLecZHzNQTJ4mO+3rD7VlZ8B mOtkL+cdJYaKb7sEt9P1TfCDY6R/V4OSEImKCRQuVVvwgo9NNKqfRkFvQkNb4wkZ SIb6fIycjDWxEQxPEFtuExLDxSlb3NFkAIohILfEN0uJ3Bf23DH/BaJ1yov1WP8A NghcUsGMGi7PPrGhbIUBAygUKUpaVtTzXcUKCKLEtiEvwOQZEPkpHESShhgTBAID 9Q0xgNHdhXGryMXJv+LhdEcSlSu8CQL9McggvW+vYFPahLeA9rqqfD4QSL/MhOPF coONFVeUPueHy1MIpwCfKzjOtcTMIDFr0d0vybLdZ7RGgQSmGNQJaIQiFPWB/end tUPl6FJ2ct6LWMP6Lbe59iaNhUDgrJurwe6UfoiCmtTt3TSDJ8u8CuT6kbX4nZeX xl0BbfCMeb2YGvvDhtkJfCT+aX+VhT4pp+0SaQUxvjx+7RRY2ppFogLnqLNhcrMq 4wTj+KemsxVh51qnrj2S6lAr6uHgfTV7e5GPCYHzYUrS/5yg5QZTbpL40W7NbJQs CEoaly4JYRgUzc94qPSbVAuV2whIjWrX4oFk2k2LySMuV9bO//Q= =isIx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --mojUlQ0s9EVzWg2t--
