Guix weather reports 85.2% substitutes available, but then when I run 'guix package' with that manifest, I find myself building (bootstrap?) binutils, glib, and multiple versions of gcc. It doesn't even seem to look for substitutes (?): $ guix package --manifest=config/manifest.scm installing new manifest from 'config/manifest.scm' with 62 entries building /gnu/store/nqdhvdaxljy8isvnvs9bawaj7q31z9vh-glibc-2.28.tar.xz.drv... downloading from https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/glibc-2.28.tar.xz... building /gnu/store/dyw59i3xi8j7xszrdxcl1zzmg3qmx4ly-gcc-4.9.4.tar.bz2.drv... downloading from https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.9.4/gcc-4.9.4.tar.bz2... building /gnu/store/qvnd4g7maw20jb2gv1x9w3rnf3bsm0hx-gcc-5.5.0.tar.xz.drv... downloading from https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-5.5.0/gcc-5.5.0.tar.xz... [...] Strangely, I *do* get substitutes when I specify --substitute-urls=https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org. What substitute server is currently recommended? Or what could be wrong with my setup that I'm not finding these substitutes automatically? Thomas
