Substitute authorization and binaries

Substitute authorization and binaries

[brettg]

Hi all, I authorized guix to use the berlin server so I can install 
guixsd
without having to build the derivations locally. The authorization to my
knowledge was successful, but when I run guix system init and pass the
substitute-urls flag to use berlin, it is still trying to build 
everything locally
after downloading their source tarballs.

Hi

Please post questions like these to the help-guix@gnu.org mailing list 
instead. (remove guix-devel when you reply)

Please always give as much information about your environment and guix 
version as possible.

Reply with output of:

$env

$which guix

Also dry guix package -i something --substitute-urls="https://berlin.guixsd.org https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org" --dry-run

It should give you a list of substituted binaries. If that does not
happen there may still be a problem with the URL or the key in
/etc/guix/acl.
