Hello,
Yesterday I was trying to compile emacs from guix: guix package -i
emacs, and it did not work, it said: gdk-pixbuf could not be done for
3600 seconds, something like that.
However, when emacs is compiled directly, it works without problems.
Maybe gdk-pixbuf should not be dependency for emacs. It is basic to have
emacs first.

I think the issue is gdk-pixbuf's stress tests try to use a lot of
memory and sometimes can run too long without any output. There is
an 'max-silent-time' option in guix can be used to set the 3600s limit,
but it may be not what we need here ;-)

gdk-pixbuf is used by gtk+, and the default emacs is compiled with gtk+
GUI. There is 'emacs-no-x' with ncurses UI which don't need it.

Hello,
Is there way to download binary directly?
