The =E2=80=98--cache=E2=80=99 option instructs =E2=80=98guix publish=E2=80=
=99 to maintain a cache of the
archives it publishes (=E2=80=9Cnars=E2=80=9D):

One can run =E2=80=9Cguix weather -s x86_64-linux -s armhf-linux=E2=80=9D t=
o get results
for both ARM and x86_64.

You can always use =E2=80=9C--dry-run=E2=80=9D, which shows a list of what =
would be
built/downloaded.  The possibly long lists it returns are not as easy to
read as we=E2=80=99d like, though.
