Hi,

In addition to Edouard’s answer. ;-)

Well, it is a complicated topic. ;-)  One thing is to carefully examine
the graph and then identify unnecessary (potentially) dependencies,
i.e., somehow create variant packages where the graph is drastically
cut.  For instance, the package ’r-minimal’ brings TeXlive (mainly for
doc) and maybe it is not necessary for your use-case.  You can use “guix
size” to identify the items.

On the other hand, “guix pack” can be optimized.  For instance using
Docker layers, see:

Chris did some work in this direction, IIRC.  Maybe a patch is floating
around. :-)


All the best,
simon
