We would like to fetch large files as part of a pipeline setup. Ideally a simple work flow can be a package built on a local host - it should not go on the main build farm - but, at this point, Guix does not allow using files from 'outside' the build setup - which means we have to pull them in before build. It may be interesting to have access to external data files during build time. Something to discuss at FOSDEM. Pj. --
