Regarding the closure size, the top packages and the usual suspects: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ ./pre-inst-env guix size ktouch | head store item total self /gnu/store/rv567nsh90bqz5gfh6sh1g84jccxcifa-llvm-11.0.0 220.0 148.6 11.4% /gnu/store/7disnxqw8i3n4zhw5s0xj9kkdckkmr1p-mesa-20.2.4 389.1 141.6 10.9% /gnu/store/j7110r2rhs9pdypx2x0h8nx4r082fbdk-qtbase-5.15.2 976.2 80.0 6.2% /gnu/store/rz42ba0my9vrgbkjpkzr2drmnjk5ah50-python-3.8.2 171.4 79.8 6.1% /gnu/store/8zvc5mvk0xm3ygrxsgpyy5ilxb5rzjry-perl-5.30.2 146.2 57.1 4.4% /gnu/store/a5m2xzsv3ff1gsh4pkdxbv99nchmlkhq-mozjs-60.2.3-2 248.3 54.7 4.2% /gnu/store/18hp7flyb3yid3yp49i6qcdq0sbi5l1n-guile-3.0.2 132.8 53.2 4.1% /gnu/store/ckwyq3y43i33s5fl9hb6c51418rh1qwj-icu4c-66.1 110.2 38.1 2.9% /gnu/store/fa6wj5bxkj5ll1d7292a70knmyl7a0cr-glibc-2.31 38.4 36.7 2.8% --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- There’s a preliminary patch to improve the LLVM situation at <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/42576>.
