I understand that this is generally unwise---I don't want to debate those merits. My immediate problem is that I'm on a dinky little ARM C201 Chromebook and any sort of building is quite time-consuming, and often prohibitively so: I can deal with the compilation times, but the tests are simply too much; I don't have time to wait potentially hours for software to build if they aren't available from hydra. GnuTLS is one particularly intense dependency test-wise, for example. And then if a test fails for whatever reason, I'm completely out of luck. I'd rather install and then run tests later at my leisure, accepting the risks. But I don't know if any test output is taken into account in any Guix hashes. There are a few situations where I've had no choice but to fall back to installing the respective Debian package(s). But I've been very impressed with how many ARM packages _are_ available from hydra---many more than I had expected! Anyway: any suggestions? :/ =2D-=20 Mike Gerwitz Free Software Hacker+Activist | GNU Maintainer & Volunteer GPG: D6E9 B930 028A 6C38 F43B 2388 FEF6 3574 5E6F 6D05 Old: 2217 5B02 E626 BC98 D7C0 C2E5 F22B B815 8EE3 0EAB https://mikegerwitz.com --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJYn1yJAAoJEIyRe39dxRuiEVwP/3BOWbJmZulzuN9hECPEW7Pg pab1d/7c0N/IyGcFr/rVYZBJBigcm9kNAy3fiik8bXLuFc7k5YRFhqanvmIlGfU7 gg0U0nVs1Y/UCFKo48wfQHu2SBx4mUv6krTCZ8xkTIa8uEHtoyFbegqDILWVQxVZ PpKcLofyJds0AKGP3FcVTco+fCPG6PHebuG6k3kEsut4gGNTU76qMeuKl4EB90PG OKKmqezh01BBlxPsjA5ZB45WDo56C9obH62NAbSVU8FMwKEZEsqGdjmypHBDLF1p PXu2HKrYAd3pHuxaXW4X1uYUOoqWI2U91CLA326yIM5fk9AuBO/SE2a32NhW7PZw BMhwyITsKyor3E5PrYknP6s8N7+XgsT7RBRzoRigMuujHlEKKpoe1mLN9EZAJ4X0 Ct0GaC+P0B3KQnQBKtFrSvB5s3XaXZ6Q3j33UV1IAUMQnpPKX4kLkWup0gAOjhrO 3QRn9MEKCtZQTaZxUicMAtrTG4UaRNRgJIQuhJggKKnIu7LMhFg3kY09ZAfsOSMX ett8x1nj0W+BJr8eJVvpQ5E2gr9Eprr0nxA+LsyrQHq+q/4ZN3a7nD7gfEeWu6rc yolDH3tEg6WAX2IlQu9ocAG1ioWeOk05y7xu7BkyWsDycwe/g6qWuerZtO1ApEI+ fWy+x56BYcScuiVBdL2f =Vp51 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
