Hello Guix!
After `guix pull`, I usually run `guix upgrade --dry-run` to check
which derivations will be built. If I find heavy ones like icecat,
evolution, calibre, kodi, qtwebkit etc., what is the general rule of
thumb waiting period for the substitutes to be available for those
packages, before I re-run `guix upgrade`? Assuming I will not be doing
another `guix pull` during the waiting.
Thank you!
Regards,
RG.

Hey Guix!
I'd like to bump the question. New packages like icecat and
ungoogled-chromium take sometimes really long time to come up.
Trying to compile those has even made fan in my laptop creak. (;

Not a rule of thumb or anything, just sharing my way.
As I don't need any specific update or commits I usually use just `guix pull
commit=...` to update and pick a commit from around 24h ago. Unless
there has been significant changes I end up building very few packages
if any at all. (not using ungoogled-chromium)
