python-minimal built too often

Hi,

My small GuixSD machine builds python-minimal after a reconfigure that
only changes an nginx

Re: python-minimal built too often

Sorry I sent the email too early.

My small GuixSD machine builds python-minimal after a reconfigure that
only changes an nginx configuration.

What I did is:

guix pull (building python-minimal)
guix reconfigure config.scm
small nginx config change in config.scm
guix reconfigure config.scm (building python-minimal, again)

It takes a long time for my machine to build python-minimal, so it's
pretty annoying.  Is it a bug?  A configuration error?  Any idea how I
could fix it?

Thanks,
Clément

Also, I have https://ci.guix.info as substitute server, and I expect
python-minimal to be built there ;-).

For some reason it was fixed by adding https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org.  I
don't understand why it was necessary, since it's not the official
substitute server according to the docs.  I thought https://ci.guix.info
would be good enough, but it's not the case yet.

Can you tell us which variant of python-minimal it built both times?
I’d like to check on berlin to see why there’s no substitute.

Hi Ricardo,

I can't reproduce it right now because if I remove hydra, it starts
building other stuff (gettext...).  I'll tell you when I reproduce the
issue.

Thank you,
Clément

I checked and there is a completed build for python-minimal; maybe be
don’t have the narinfo / cache files for it?

Anyway I've found a workaround: I use 'guix copy' from my more powerful
laptop to my small GuixSD server to copy my whole profile.  And it works
pretty well!

Thank you for you help,
Clément

Turns out that I was wrong and everything is fine.  I accidentally broke
/etc/guix/acl, so ci.guix.info was not authorized any more…

Oh, it's nice that you found out!  Thank you.
