Hi znavko
Most of the packages used have prebuilt substitutes. Make sure that you have authorized getting substitutes from the server,

------ Original message------From: znavko@tutanota.comDate: Thu, Feb 14, 2019 11:20 AMTo: Help Guix;Cc: Subject:Binary substitutes on Guix. When?

Hello, developers!

As mentioned in 'Substitutes' section of Guix Manual "The ci.guix.info server is a front-end to an official build farm
that builds packages from Guix continuously for some
architectures, and makes them available as substitutes."

And the roadmap contains this:
"* Features scheduled for 1.0

- larger & more robust build farm
    + we need a powerful, dedicated front-end"

Now when the users come to try, they are just seeing endless compilation process. And Guix looks not friendly with such an option. This is a bottle-neck.

Pre-built packages are needed. When will it be realized?

Thanks.
