Hi Chris, Thank you for explaining. It still miss a point.

I understand. Back to the Git's example, there is still something I miss: I cannot build Git from source (e.g. no substitutes) using "guix build git" without downloading -- and possibly building too -- all the Subversion stuff. Other said, if I run "guix install git --no-substitutes" then I will build all the Git outputs, so build all Subversion and other, and finally only install the references of "out" (the rest could be garbage collected). Cheers, simon
