+1. I have recently been considering setting up a mirror so that my various machines running Guix don't all have to compile the same thing. If pull worked like this, I probably wouldn't have to. One question: for packages I really care about, how would I get the latest/greatest? guix pull; guix package --fallback -u foo? -- Katherine
