The network connections to hydra is bad at day time from where I am, the download speed is about 10kB/s, I can only work with guix at night. And sometimes I use guix --fallback option(like texlive), guix will redirect to the upstream download link. Chances are the upstream has even worse network bandwidth, then I have to manually find a mirror of that particular upstream and use `guix download`.
In the case of *texlive-texmf*, it serves mostly as a build dependence. To make things even less convenient, most of the mirror site only store its ISO package, not the tar ball used in guix package. So, I gotta wonder, can we just download the normal inputs and propagated inputs from hydra while installing packages? Would that break something like the functional property of guix?
